GraphTech is a Canadian aftermarket guitar hardware manufacturer who mostly specializes in Teflon-impregnated synthetic bone used for nuts and saddles. They also make some amazing -- albeit overpriced -- tuning machines that use gear ratios matched to specific string gauges, so that you have a consistent number of turns for each tuning peg. This makes tuning super heavy gauge strings (e.g., a 65 gauge low "E" string [that is downtuned to C or C#] or the low B string on a 7-string, etc.) much less twitchy because of the much shorter gear ratio for those strings (e.g., 39:1 instead of the usual 18:1 or 16:1). It's pretty helpful for keeping things in tune when you do multiple takes or overdubs.
On-topic, the infographic in the OP is the result of the unholy union of "graphic design is my passion" and data visualization nerds not being bullied enough.

That's neat.
