AGM joins Nanotechnology Industries Association

Applied Graphene Materials (LSE:AGM) is pleased to announce that it has joined the Nanotechnology Industries Association (NIA), a leading international organisation that works to advance the safe and reliable innovation and commercialisation of next generation nanotechnologies.

Since its foundation in 2005, the NIA has supported the work of companies of all sizes and across all sectors involved in nano-enabled materials, including research centres, universities and expert service providers. AGM is one of a number of member organisations to express their commitment to the sustainable use of nanotechnology and nanomaterials across all industries.

Adrian Potts, Chief Executive Officer of AGM, commented:

"As a leading innovator in graphene dispersion and application technology, AGM looks forward to the opportunities that NIA membership will bring to drive cross-sector collaboration at the cutting-edge of 2D material development. Involvement in the network will enable us to further establish AGM as a technology leader within the global nanotechnology arena."

Applied Graphene Materials - For the last decade, AGM has been at the forefront of harnessing the possibilities of graphene. Founded originally by Professor Karl Coleman, the Group has grown from an academic idea from Durham University to a world leader in the development and application of graphene nanoplatelet dispersions for customers in the coatings, composites and functional materials sectors.

The Group utilises its proprietary bottom-up manufacturing process to produce high purity graphene nanoplatelets. Its expertise in dispersion chemistry enables AGM to create optimised, stable and easy to handle dispersions that customers use in real-world industrial products. AGM's unique approach enables industries to fully realise the potential of graphene in a simple, safe and easy to formulate way.

AGM, based at the Wilton Centre on Teesside, was admitted to AIM in November 2013, raising GBP11 million. The Group successfully raised GBP8.5m in January 2016 and a further GBP9.8m in November 2017. Since August 2020, the Group's shares are also listed on OTCQB in the United States and, in January 2021, the Group successfully raised a further GBP6m gross . As a result of the funding support and their industry leading technology platform, AGM have been able to develop a significant sales distribution network covering Europe, North America and Asia. The Group continues to work closely with industrial partners, and have seen the successful launch of numerous commercial products enhanced by their Graphene Dispersions.
