B2B battery grade graphite trading company supplying Japan: spot parcels and term contracts, L/C payment, delivery via Yokohama / Nagoya. 10+ years in mineral trade.

CriticalOre is a specialist mineral trading company supplying battery grade graphite to industrial buyers in Japan. We trade high-purity flake graphite qualified for battery anode supply chains under both spot and multi-year structures, settle by letter of credit or agreed T/T terms, and manage the full chain from origin verification to discharge at Yokohama / Nagoya.
