thanks ellis - have deleted my earlier post in case it wasn't VRS related. Unfortunately he does mix in some Versarien stuff on his other account so I shall double check next time! EDIT: Think I best ignore him till whatever it is he is saying re VRS on Monday.

[woodpeckers] 28/3/2019 14:06

Sorry for O/T guys... Jim, could you give me a call when you have a mo.

[spike_1] 28/3/2019 14:04

Grab: Clearly not I'm afraid - but then - he is American. Best left to his own devices till he blends into the team and learns the ropes.

Not impressed by that website at all I’m afraid, very badly subbed. what even is it?

Great product being sold badly here.

Hmm.. Thanks Spike. I thought that Twitter account is supposed to be the one related to his Versarien position? It was only set up a few days ago, after the VRS rns announcing his appointment.

grab: re:"Pilot manufacturing run and evaluation for modest achievable performance enhancements scheduled for next week ... 20 year client, open mind, clear target, and reasonable expectations...feedback will be valuable... PA history qualified 100% of current system."

That has nothing to do with VRS (like most of what he tweets). It's his personal Twitter account so shouldn't even have his job title on it.

Best ignored as he is very new and needs to settle in once his probationary period completes.

Hey! Good find? Great find , more like

Sorry Spike, my point was that ADVFN have been displaying the wrong price for over an hour. They still are actually, no offence.

[spike_1] 28/3/2019 13:32

Thanks Fest - VERY useful to know ;0)

[festario] 28/3/2019 13:29

If anyone is interested, it's actually 104p to buy, and 103p to sell.

tick-tock.

"The UK's leading graphene supplier, spun out of University of Manchester and University of Cambridge with a series of patented processes that are commercially viable and scalable to meet the worldwide requirements for this wonder material. Independently tested data and characterisation data available both for material and applications."

good find woody.

[ellissj] 28/3/2019 13:20

Great find woody ! :) best ellis

[hattie1] 28/3/2019 13:19

Launch of products worldwide.... we’re on the cusp it would seem

[spike_1] 28/3/2019 13:18

Re:

Gosh - this is going to be big! And they are ready to go! Surely this must be Aecom?

We have a range of new products to be launched for the 3d printing sector , these have been tested to give increased performance through the use of graphene and we are looking at launching these products worldwide.

[rafboy] 28/3/2019 13:18

Nice find, so many strings to the VRS bow.

[spike_1] 28/3/2019 13:15

WOW - that is some find woody, could that be what our Aecom deals are all about - fascinating ;0)

[tini5] 28/3/2019 13:15

And this one...

Graphene mentioned:

"Technology has given birth to material innovations that are poised to perhaps become the materials that our future homes will be made of – houses that repair and filter air themselves – buildings made from graphene or maybe windows made from transparent aluminium. This may sound like the stuff good science fiction is made of; but these materials are here. Let’s take a look at some of the cutting edge material construction materials."

USA - looks exciting opportunity to me. Lots of interest - leading american companies - and that's before the 'graphene summit' on capitol hill ! Aimo. Glalth. Best ellis

Versarien plc

("Versarien" or the "Company")

'USA Update'

"Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to provide an update on the Company's activities in the United States of America.

Versarien has recently established a new US corporate entity, Versarien Graphene Inc, to facilitate the Company's graphene and other 2D materials activities in the USA.  The Company is additionally in the process of establishing a new office, laboratory facility and applications centre in Houston, Texas that will act as a hub for the Company's activities in North America.

Patrick Abbott has been appointed as Versarien's Vice President North American Operations to oversee these activities and he will be based at the Company's Houston facility once established.  Patrick is an experienced speciality materials professional with over 20 years' experience in the sector.  He is a former US Marine Corps Officer who spent over 16 years in a variety of global business development and marketing roles at BASF. In 2015 and 2016, Patrick was part of the team transitioning specific product lines to Huntsman Corporation. Subsequently he established Global Marketing Empire Solutions, a disruptive technology consulting company and joined XG Sciences, a company focussed on graphene nano technology, as their global sales manager.  At XG Sciences he was tasked with assisting the executive team in transitioning the company from an academic company to full commercialisation.

The establishment of this US presence follows on from work that Versarien has been undertaking with the US National Graphene Association and various collaboration partners in the region.  Further North American potential collaboration partners and customers have been identified, both through inbound enquires and proactive approaches, and it is intended that the Houston facility and additional resource will enable these to be more efficiently progressed.

The Company is pleased to be participating in the UK Government organised "UK Technology and Capability Showcase" being held at Collins Aerospace in Charlotte, North Carolina, on 25 March 2019 where the Company will be presenting its 2D materials technology to Collins Aerospace representatives.

The Company additionally looks forward to being a leading participant in the American Graphene Summit, being hosted by the National Graphene Association (NGA) in Washington DC on 21 and 22 May 2019.  The summit, keynoted by Senator Roger Wicker, intends to bring together leaders of US industry and government agencies and key international figures in the graphene sector to engage in a dialogue on shaping the global architecture surrounding graphene technologies and its impact on the US and global economy.

Zina Jarrahi Cinker, Executive Director of the National Graphene Association, commented: "The establishment of Versarien's first U.S-Based application development facility in Houston, Texas is a significant step for the development of graphene and graphene technologies in the United States. Versarien is a key member the elite Graphene Industry Council and I strongly believe Versarien Graphene Inc will be well positioned to serve the North American end user markets and facilitate the integration of graphene in strategic product segments."

 Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, commented: "We are very pleased to be moving to the next stage of our development in the US with the establishment of Versarien Graphene Inc and a dedicated facility in Houston. 

"We are already pursuing a number of substantial opportunities in the US, particularly through the support of the National Graphene Association, and I expect our level of activity to significantly increase in the coming months, particularly given the high number of enquires we have had for the supply of our graphene and other 2D materials from leading US companies.

"I would like to express my sincere thanks to the support and assistance we have received from the National Graphene Association and Senator Wicker to develop our business and network in the US.

"I am also particularly pleased we have secured the services of Patrick ;Abbott and I would like to formally welcome him to the Versarien team.  His skills and experience will be invaluable as we look to build more relationships and commercialise graphene enhanced products with US companies.

"Coupled with the recent progress we have made in China and elsewhere we remain confident that we can make further rapid progress this year.  I look forward to providing further updates on our US and other activities in due course."

This an interesting article:

Possibly an application here for graphinks used in textiles.
