NanoXplore Inc. (“
NanoXplore” or the
“
Corporation”) (TSXV: GRA and
OTCQX: NNXPF) announces that on June 23, 2021, it has entered
into a multi-year supply and distribution agreement (the
“
Agreement”) with Gerdau Grafeno LTDA.
(“
Gerdau Graphene”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Gerdau S.A. (“
Gerdau”). Gerdau is Brazil's largest
steel producer and one of the leading producers of long steel in
America, as well as special steel in the world.
Gerdau Graphene was incorporated by Gerdau to
develop and market products based on graphene applications on an
industrial scale in the Americas region. An early advocate of this
material, Gerdau started researching graphene four years ago, later
establishing a partnership with the University of Manchester’s
Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre, in order to conduct further
research. Gerdau Graphene benefits from its parent company’s
existing customer and supplier relationships, allowing it to
leverage synergies between graphene operations and existing sales,
procurement, and technical application channels.
Soroush Nazarpour, President and Chief Executive
Officer of NanoXplore, commented:
“Today’s announcement represents another
important step forward in expanding graphene applications on an
industrial scale and targets customers in multiple markets,
particularly for the concrete and construction markets. I believe
that this Agreement will help cement our leadership position in the
graphene market, and that it has the potential to create a demand
for graphene that is greater than what NanoXplore is currently
capable of producing.”
Alexandre Corrêa, Business Unit General Manager
of Gerdau Graphene, commented:
”Gerdau Graphene’s strategic relationship with
NanoXplore will provide our customer base with quality and
accessible graphene, at industrial scale, from day one. We will be
able to access a material which has already been successfully
tested and applied in several markets, specially composites and
thermoplastics, which we’ll be able to leverage to high commercial
volumes.
