About Us Industrial Graphite Products was founded in 1980 as a sales and brokerage operation specializing in bulk and machined graphite products. As the machining portion of the business grew, we decided to focus more activities on the manufacturing of precision graphite components. Since then we have expanded and broadened our marketing into various specialties; servicing EDM, Furnace, Heat Treat, Foundry, Diamond Tool, and other high temperature industries.
