Craig Nicol, Founder, Managing Director and CEO of GMG, commented: "The launch of our dedicated Asia Pacific Sales Team marks an important step in GMG's global commercialisation strategy. Having spent much of my career building and leading sales and marketing teams across Asia Pacific, I understand firsthand the scale of opportunity these markets represent for graphene-enhanced thermal, lubricant and energy storage solutions. India, South Korea, Japan and South-East Asia are home to some of the world's largest and fastest-growing manufacturing, automotive, electronics and data-centre industries, and together with Australia and New Zealand they represent a natural extension of our go-to-market footprint. Our new team has already been engaging directly with customers and channel partners across the region since early 2026, and we are encouraged by the level of interest and early traction we are seeing. This regional build-out complements our recent production milestones, including the start-up of our Gen 2.0 graphene production plant, and positions GMG to convert growing global demand into commercial outcomes across some of the most important industrial economies in the world."
Jack Perkowski, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of GMG, commented: "The Board is very pleased to see GMG take this next step in its international growth strategy. Establishing a dedicated presence in Asia Pacific is a logical and important move given the depth of industrial activity in these markets and their relevance to GMG's core product lines in thermal management, lubricants and energy storage. This is a region I know well from my own experience helping international companies establish and scale operations in Asia, and I am confident that GMG's new team will be well placed to build the relationships and market knowledge required to succeed there. The Board looks forward to updating shareholders on the team's progress as it builds out its pipeline across India, South Korea, Japan, South-East Asia, Australia and New Zealand."
About GMG
GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.
The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres. Another product GMG has developed is the graphene lubricant additive focused on saving liquid fuels initially for diesel engines. GMG is also developing a graphene coolant additive focused on energy saving for data centres and industrial cooling applications.
In the energy storage segment, GMG and the University of Queensland are working collaboratively with financial support from the Australian Government to progress R&D and commercialization of GMG Graphene Batteries. GMG has also developed a graphene additive slurry that is aimed to improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
GMG's 4 critical business objectives are:
Produce Graphene and improve/scale cell production processes
Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products
Develop Next-Generation Battery
Develop Supply Chain, Partners & Project Execution Capability
