Graphene Manufacturing Group CEO says Beijer Ref collaboration is a big milestone for its coatings

Episode Summary

Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) managing director and CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's latest milestone — a commercial collaboration with global HVAC distributor Beijer Ref. Nicol said the agreement marks a key step in deploying GMG’s graphene-based coating technology across the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVAC-R) sector. Starting mid-November, Beijer Ref customers in Australia will be able to opt for the coating on condenser and evaporator coolers. "This is a big time milestone for the company for actually graphene coating and also for the air conditioning industry," Nicol noted. The rollout will cover Beijer Ref’s 73 Australian locations. Nicol said the partnership offers customers energy efficiency benefits and a five-year warranty when applied by certified contractors. He added that GMG's Spray Academy, now running both in-person and online training, is crucial to ensuring consistent application standards. Nicol also outlined how GMG’s coating fits into broader energy efficiency goals. With 24% of Australia’s electricity usage linked to air conditioning, and grid strain during peak heat driven by inefficient units, GMG’s solution targets significant reductions in power demand. Over time, GMG hopes to expand the rollout to additional countries and partners.
