Open position: Senior Sales Representative – Polymer & Graphene Materials
About Graphmatech
Graphmatech makes patented advanced materials including graphene at industrial scale.
The materials have a wide range of applications including defence (stealth, conductivity, strength, and low weight), low-friction materials (replacing harmful PFAS materials), and packaging/storage (better barriers in e.g., medical pouches, efficient protection towards electrostatic discharge in electronics packaging, and hydrogen storage).
We are at a very exciting stage, transitioning from a R&D startup to commercialization, scaling and profitability, with global commercial agreements and production capacity ramp-up from 5 to 200 tons per year in Q1 2026.
