Black Swan Graphene

Black Swan Graphene has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Falpaco Rubber and Plastic Inc. ("Falpaco"), a Québec-based manufacturer specializing in the custom molding of plastic and rubber components, for total consideration of CA$12.7 million (around US$9.2 million).

The Acquisition represents a key step in Black Swan's strategy to accelerate the commercialization of graphene products by vertically integrating downstream manufacturing capabilities and moving closer to end customers. By combining Black Swan's proprietary graphene materials and formulation expertise with Falpaco's injection molding know-how, customer relationships, and industrial scale, the Company believes it is uniquely positioned to shorten development cycles and transition more rapidly from product validation to commercial adoption.

Black Swan Graphene has announced plans to acquire Quebec injection molding company Falpaco Rubber and Plastics Inc. for CAD$12.6 million (around USD$9.2 million) to vertically integrate production of graphene-enhanced rubber and plastic parts.

The deal represents “a key step in Black Swan's strategy to accelerate the commercialization of graphene products,” according to the statement. Black Swan plans to vertically integrate downstream manufacturing capabilities and move closer to end customers by combining its graphene materials and expertise with Falpaco’s injection molding and market base. The combination could shorten development cycles and accelerate the transition from product validation to commercial adoption, Black Swan said.

Black Swan Graphene has announced the completion of a production capacity expansion at its facility located in Consett, United Kingdom. As a result of the expansion, originally outlined on June 3, 2025, the Company’s production capacity has more than tripled. The new large-scale production unit, centered on a recently acquired 3160 Ariete System manufactured by GEA Group AG (“GEA”), has completed calibration and commissioning, enabling continuous operation.

This milestone represents Black Swan’s fourth and largest scale-up and further solidifies the Company’s position as a leading industrial-scale manufacturer of high-quality Graphene Nanoplatelets (“GNP”). The installation of this 3160 Ariete System represents the culmination of 12 years of strategic collaboration with GEA, as this advanced industrial homogenizer has been specifically customized for Black Swan’s proprietary High-Shear Liquid-Phase Exfoliation Process. The Company now offers a fully integrated, in-house development and production platform.

Black Swan Graphene has reported performance results from production-scale trials conducted by one of its partners, a global masterbatch manufacturer, including testing at end-customer facilities. 

For one marquee consumer-products program, Black Swan was advised that its graphene-enhanced formulation delivered superior results versus alternative materials evaluated by that specific customer, reinforcing the Company's view that its approach to Graphene-Enhanced Masterbatch™ ("GEM™") is highly competitive in targeted high-volume applications. Customers and application details have not been disclosed for commercial reasons, according to Black Swan Graphene.

Black Swan Graphene has provided an update on its ongoing commercial initiatives, underscoring the success of its strategic approach to providing Graphene-Enhanced Masterbatch™ or GEM™ (“GEM“) to the polymer industry. This model, which involves working closely with distribution partners and masterbatch manufacturers, continues to demonstrate its value by supporting product adoption and maximizing market reach.

“We are incredibly excited to see our efforts and investments culminating in significant progress toward commercialization as our graphene gains traction in the industrial sector. As for many innovative products, the initial commercialization is paramount, as progress with prospective customers and production activities can provide supply security for eventual customers. As volumes expand, not only will the Company be able to compete more effectively in higher-volume applications, but lower production costs open doors to more price-sensitive markets. The path to commercialization success is now clearly within reach,” stated Michael Edwards, Chief Operating Officer of Black Swan.

Black Swan Graphene has announced that it has ordered its next-generation production unit, a significant milestone in the Company's industrial scale-up strategy and a key element of its broader effort to position itself as a global leader in graphene-enhanced materials.

The Company currently has the capacity to produce up to 40 tonnes of graphene annually. As part of its growth initiative, the Company is undertaking a significant expansion that will increase its production capacity to 140 tonnes per annum, more than tripling its current capacity. This scale-up will position the Company among the leading graphene producers globally.

Black Swan Graphene has announced a non-brokered private placement of units for gross aggregate proceeds of CAD$6,000,000 (around US$4,177,000). 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds for the acquisition and installation of additional plant associated equipment to increase production capacity in Consett, United Kingdom; hiring of additional direct sales and operations staff; expanding distribution channels; and for general corporate purposes. The Company's Board of Directors considered the Consolidation necessary to attract new investment and also to align with the Company's growing reputation and provide greater credibility when potential customers inevitably assess its market presence and stability.

Mason Resources has announced that it has closed a non-brokered private placement financing of units of the Company for gross proceeds of CAD$1,400,000 (around USD$976,000). Mason Reseources is the largest shareholder of Black Swan Graphene. 

The Company stated that Mr. Fahad Al Tamimi, Chairman of the Board of Directors, took part in this financing which resulted in an increase in his ownership stake to approximately 19.2% on a partially diluted basis. The net proceeds of the Offering shall be used for general corporate and working capital purposes. 

Black Swan Graphene has announced a commercial agreement with Broadway Colours, a UK-based manufacturer of color and additive masterbatches, plastic compounds and rotational molding powders. The Company said the partnership aims to leverage Broadway’s technical expertise, manufacturing capabilities, distribution, and market reach to fast-track the commercialization of Black Swan’s graphene products.

Broadway will use Black Swan’s graphene nanoplatelets to manufacture their Graphene Enhanced Masterbatches (GEMs) targeting a variety of sectors including consumer goods, packaging, automotive, construction, defense, marine and logistics. Its new product range will also feature a bio-based polymer GEM, which Black Swan highlighted offers an eco-friendly alternative to the existing products.  

Black Swan Graphene has announced the release of its fourth commercial Graphene Enhanced Masterbatch ("GEM") product, as it continues to deploy broad commercialization efforts.

This new thermoplastic polyurethane ("TPU") masterbatch is an addition to the GraphCore 01 product line. TPU is a versatile polymer that combines the properties of rubber and plastic, making it an ideal material for a variety of applications ranging from industrial to consumer goods; inflatable products are particularly well suited for this new GEM. Using this new GEM, Black Swan has reportedly demonstrated a 25% improvement in light weighting capability, along with other mechanical performance improvements.
