Founded in 1905 and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, JX Advanced Metals is a producer and supplier of non-ferrous metal products, and its activities include resource development, smelting, refining, and recycling.
JX Advanced Metals produces high-performance Cu-foils specifically developed for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene growth.
AMO is a German-based research service provider for material nanofabrication, with competence in nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics and biotechnology.
For the graphene industry, AMO offers CVD graphene materials, graphene device (transistors) fabrication, graphene substrates and more.
AVANSA Technology & Services offers analytical testing and consultancy services for industries with emerging nano and micro technology based products. The company also provide wide range of nanotechnology based research services and products.
Cambridge Graphene was established in May 2014 as a spin-off from Cambridge University to commercialize graphene inks based on research work at Cambridge University.
Cambridge Graphene in production method is based on a liquid phase exfoliation technology that turns graphite into graphene in a water-based solution. Cambridge Graphene says its technology is unique as it does not start with Graphene Oxide, which results in superior inks with no chemical contamination.
Future Carbon, based in Germany, develops and manufactures carbon nanomaterials and carbon composites.
In April 2013, Future Carbon acquired several graphene and CNT related patents from Bayer, but the company did not update on its graphene R&D work since.
Gnanomat, based in Madrid, Spain, developed a proprietary patented liquid-phase procedure to exfoliate graphite to graphene. The single-step process produces high-quality graphene micro platelets. The process uses cheap, biodegradable solvents.
The company seeks to find industrial partners to license the technology and scale it to an industrial scale. In February 2017 Gnanomat signed an agreement to co-develop nanomaterials (including graphene) for batteries.
BASF, based in Germany, is one of the world's largest chemical companies - with over 350 production sites worldwide. BASF has been involved with graphene research since 2008 in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute.
