First Graphene
Perth, Australia
First Graphene Ltd., established in 2015 and headquartered in Perth, Australia, has rapidly emerged as a significant producer of high-quality graphene products derived from high-purity graphite resources. Publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: FGR), the company has raised over $50 million to develop vertically-integrated graphene production capabilities spanning from raw material sourcing to application development. With 10-50 employees, First Graphene maintains a focused strategy of producing premium graphene products while working closely with industrial partners to demonstrate commercial viability in targeted applications. The company's flagship product line, PureGRAPH, encompasses various grades of graphene nanoplatelets produced through optimized exfoliation processes that preserve graphene's exceptional properties while enabling cost-effective manufacturing. First Graphene benefits from access to high-purity graphite ore from Sri Lankan sources, providing feedstock with minimal impurities—critical for producing graphene with consistent properties. The company operates production facilities capable of manufacturing multi-ton quantities of graphene annually, positioning it among the world's larger-scale graphene producers. PureGRAPH products are available in multiple grades tailored for different applications including concrete reinforcement, polymer composites, coatings, lubricants, and energy storage. In the concrete industry, even small additions of PureGRAPH can significantly enhance compressive strength, durability, and resistance to chemical attack while reducing cement content—offering both performance and sustainability benefits. First Graphene has conducted extensive testing demonstrating that graphene-enhanced concrete can achieve 30-40% strength improvements, potentially revolutionizing construction materials. The company has also developed graphene-enhanced elastomers and thermoplastics showing improved mechanical properties and thermal conductivity for automotive and industrial applications. Beyond materials sales, First Graphene invests in application development through its own research facilities and partnerships with universities and industrial companies. The company has established relationships with construction materials manufacturers, automotive suppliers, and equipment manufacturers to integrate PureGRAPH into commercial products. First Graphene's strategy emphasizes large-volume, lower-margin applications rather than niche high-margin markets, recognizing that graphene's true commercial potential lies in transforming high-volume industries. The company has achieved regulatory approvals and certifications necessary for construction and industrial applications, navigating complex qualification processes. As graphene transitions from laboratory curiosity to industrial commodity, First Graphene's focus on production scale, material consistency, and application validation positions the company to capitalize on emerging demand for performance-enhancing nanomaterials in traditional industries.
