BABA Graphite
Our Story
Who We Are
BABA Graphite is a trusted supplier of graphite materials, proudly compliant with Buy America, Build America (BABA) provisions. For nearly 20 years, we have been committed to processing graphite right here in the United States—long before these standards even had a name.
With our dedicated partners, BABA Graphite delivers over 10 million pounds of graphite annually. Our materials are processed in American plants, utilizing cutting-edge American technology and supported by the hard work of American workers.
BABA Graphite was founded to assure businesses that they can depend on American-made graphite, often with every step of the supply chain rooted in the U.S. Best of all, this commitment to American manufacturing doesn’t come at a higher cost. By sourcing, processing, and delivering materials within the country—avoiding the inefficiencies and risks of overseas shipping—we offer high-quality graphite at prices that compete globally.
Reliable supply. Competitive pricing. Built in America. That’s BABA Graphite.
