Segment Reporting Information, Revenue for Reportable Segment [Abstract] |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Our Industrial Materials segment, our only reportable segment, manufactures high-quality graphite electrodes essential to the production of EAF steel and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Petroleum needle coke, a crystalline form of carbon derived from decant oil, is a key raw material used in the production of graphite electrodes. We utilize the majority of the needle coke that we produce internally to manufacture our graphite electrodes and as a result approximately 95% of our revenues from external customers are derived from the sale of graphite electrodes. No single customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's net sales in 2023, 2022 or 2021. The following tables summarize information as to the Company's operations in different geographic areas:
