Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) has announced that it has shipped its first ever bulk order of THERMAL-XR® to its exclusive North American distributor, Nu Calgon Wholesaler, which is marketed and sold as "Nu-Calgon CoolWorx® powered by GMG® Graphene".
As previously disclosed, GMG is authorized to export, distribute, sell, use and dispose of graphene coating across multiple industries in the United States in accordance with its pre-manufacture notice P-25-0018.
DeWight Wallace, Nu-Calgon's President, commented: "We are very excited to receive this first shipment of THERMAL-XR® and to begin introducing it to the North American HVAC-R market. GMG's graphene technology offers contractors a genuine, measurable energy-saving solution, and we look forward to deploying it across our distribution network. This is exactly the kind of innovative product our customers are looking for. We also look forward to welcoming Craig and members of his team to our headquarters in St Louis to spend valuable time together planning for our future partnership."
Craig Nicol, CEO & Managing Director of the Company, commented: "Delivering our first bulk shipment of THERMAL-XR® to Nu Calgon is a genuinely significant moment for GMG. This order marks the transition from development and approval to commercial reality in the world's largest HVAC-R market. Receiving EPA authorization to export and sell our graphene-based product in the United States is something very few companies have achieved, and we are proud to be bringing that technology to market alongside a distributor of Nu Calgon's caliber."
Jack Perkowski, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of the Company, commented: "This first shipment is a milestone we have been working toward for some time, and it reflects the strength of what GMG has built. EPA approval for the unrestricted export and sale of a graphene-based coating in the United States is a rare and hard-won achievement. Paired with Nu Calgon's reach across North America, we now have the foundation to scale THERMAL-XR® in a market that we believe will define GMG's next phase of commercial growth."
