“The program tries to find companies with an innovative, international, scalable business model and with an expected rapid growth,” explains Michael Camitz, UIC Business Developer and Project Manager for Swedish Scaleups.

“These companies are not easy to identify but Graphmatech meets all these standards. We expect Graphmatech to be a game changer in the material industry with its highly innovative solutions.”

The Swedish Scaleups program

Swedish Scaleups brings together 10 company incubators and science parks, including UIC, to provide select companies with unique access to business development programs and tailored support to scale up their operations more quickly.

Companies adopted into the program are offered a current and sustainability analysis, a detailed plan for growth and the opportunity to follow up the development with the help of a hand-picked advisory board.

A unique advantage moving forward

“We are extremely proud to be selected for the Swedish Scaleups program” says Dr Mamoun Taher, Graphmatech CEO and co-founder.

“This will provide us with a unique advantage moving forward. We aim to become one of Sweden’s leading companies, using cutting edge graphene technology to help industrial partners take their materials and products to the next level. The support and knowledge gained here will be instrumental in helping us take the next steps toward this goal”.

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
