Premier Graphene and HGI secure two new Mexican military contracts

Premier Graphene has announced that its Mexican affiliate, HGI Industrial Technologies S.A.P.I., has secured two new contracts to supply the Mexican military. The agreements cover the provision of military tactical belts and nylon-cotton ripstop fabric, both considered mission-critical materials within active defense supply programs. HGI and Premier have already initiated coordination with suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics partners to support timely execution of the contracts.

The company indicated that these awards reflect growing institutional confidence in HGI’s capabilities, following prior defense-related supply engagements. The contracts are expected to contribute to recurring revenue streams and demonstrate the company’s ability to operate across multiple supply categories within the defense sector.

 

According to Premier, the contracts highlight several operational strengths, including an established customer relationship within the Mexican defense sector, immediate execution readiness, and a scalable supply chain infrastructure capable of supporting both tactical equipment and technical materials.

Pedro Mendez, President of Premier Graphene and HGI Industrial Technologies, commented: “We are honored by the confidence placed in our team through these contract awards. These opportunities further strengthen our position within the defense supply chain and demonstrate our ability to deliver quality products, reliable logistics, and effective execution. We look forward to expanding our presence in the defense sector while continuing to pursue opportunities in advanced materials, graphene technologies, aerospace applications, rare earth materials and other strategic industries.”

The defense contracts form part of a broader strategic roadmap that includes ongoing development of graphene and advanced materials technologies. Premier and HGI are working on proprietary graphene production processes based on biomass feedstocks in Mexico and the United States, aiming to enable lower-cost and more sustainable large-scale production.

In parallel, the companies are exploring applications of graphene-enhanced materials in defense and aerospace systems, as well as early-stage opportunities in quantum-related materials. Additional efforts include the evaluation of graphene-bearing and rare earth mineral resources in Mexico and Brazil, aligned with increasing demand for secure and regionalized supply chains for critical materials.

Premier stated that further details regarding contract volumes, delivery schedules, and financial impact will be disclosed as they become available.

In April 2026, Premier Graphene and HGI secured their first contract with the Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), a division of Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (DEFENSA)

In May 2026, the two companies advanced the Mexico defense contract and confirmed initial deliveries, which was successfully completed later that month
