Graphmatech raises an oversubscribed 84.5 million SEK investment round

SHARE

Driven by the transition to a sustainable world, global demand for raw materials is soaring. For many materials, the forecasted demand far outstrips the supply. Graphmatech is well positioned to supply the necessary alternative materials: more conductive, stronger and more durable metals and polymers that use much less raw materials than the current alternatives. The investment round is fundamental to accelerate their technology development and launch graphene-based products to new markets.

“We are very pleased to see such a broad range of investors acknowledging the value of our graphene materials technology, and that both new and previous investors support our sustainability vision,” says Graphmatech CEO and founder Dr. Mamoun Taher. “Thanks to their support, Graphmatech can continue to scale up the production capacity, launch products and increase our technological edge.”

Molindo Energy, Forward Ventures and SEB Venture Debt are new investors, while existing investors, ABB Technology Ventures, Almi Invest GreenTech, Walerud Ventures, and EIT InnoEnergy, continued to invest in Graphmatech. Molindo Energy led the round together with returning lead ABB Technology Ventures. Morgan Sadarangani will join the board from Molindo Energy.

Graphmatech will be a key player in the energy transition.

Solid progress in hydrogen infrastructure certification 

Uppsala, Sweden — Hydrogen is an important part of the transition to a more sustainable future. However, it presents engineering challenges since the gas easily escapes from pipes and storage vessels. Hydrogen is not only expensive, but it also has an eleven times greater global warming potential (GWP) than carbon dioxide. It’s imperative for both
Blowmoulded graphene-enhanced liners now a reality for the hydrogen industry!

Uppsala, Sweden — Graphmatech AB, a leading company in the development of graphene-enhanced polymers, is proud to announce its collaboration with ST Blowmoulding to achieve the first successful blow moulding production of graphene-carrying HDPE liners on their ASPI 200 BM machine. This achievement demonstrates the compatibility of Graphmatech’s graphene-carrying thermoplastics with another key industrial production
Safer, less leaky gas tubes to Canada 

Uppsala, Sweden — According to their new MoU, Polytubes and Graphmatech are co-developing tubes for hydrogen and gas distribution.  The pipes are expected to leak significantly less hydrogen gas than current technology. Reducing leakage is not only a financial priority, but also an environmental priority. Hydrogen has a an eleven-times higher global warming potential (GWP)
Steelhead Composites and Graphmatech are developing improved hydrogen storage tanks with graphene

Uppsala, Sweden — The companies will develop and produce a new high performance type IV pressure vessel liner. Expected improvements include reduced hydrogen leakage and increased resistance to extreme thermal- and pressure conditions. The partnership combines Steelhead Composites’ leading pressure vessel technology, services, and market position with Graphmatech’s graphene-polymer composites for the hydrogen economy. Graphmatech’s
