  • What is your pricing model, and how much product do clients typically purchase to meet their needs?
    Our pricing model depends on several factors, including the type of graphene, the volume ordered, and the specific requirements of the application. We offer both bulk and customized solutions to meet the varying needs of our clients. For paint, coatings, and lubricants, the amount of graphene required depends heavily on the formulation and the scale of production (Which we can advise on and recommend if you would like to engage us for consultancy). Typically, clients purchase quantities ranging from test (eg: 10 grams), or small pilot batches (eg: 1-10 kilograms), or for larger bulk orders (eg: 100 kilograms or more), or for full-scale production (eg: 1 tonne or more). In energy storage and electronics, the quantities vary based on the application, but orders generally start with smaller volumes for R&D purposes and scale up as the product is integrated into commercial processes. We work closely with our clients to determine the optimal volume and pricing that fit their specific needs and production goals.
  • What is your production capacity, and how long does it typically take to produce and ship product to a client?
    Granophene works with various partners and ensures the quality and quantity of our products meet clients' requirements. We are able to meet the needs of both small-scale pilot projects as well as large commercial orders such as a few hundred kilograms or tonnes per month. The supplies and shipping timeline depends on several factors, including order size, customization requirements, and the client’s location. For standard orders, we typically ship within 1-2 weeks. For larger or specialized orders, timelines may vary, but we work closely with clients to ensure efficient delivery schedules that align with their project timelines. We are committed to maintaining clear communication throughout the process to ensure timely delivery.
  • Are there “preferred territories” globally that are cheaper or easier to serve, or that you believe would offer higher yields due to their manufacturing sectors?
    Granophene’s headquarters in Australia, along with our sales and distribution offices in Singapore and Malaysia, provide us with a strategic foothold in the Asia-Pacific region. This allows us to serve key markets efficiently. • Asia-Pacific, particularly Southeast Asia, is a preferred region for us due to our established presence and proximity to manufacturing hubs. Singapore and Malaysia are particularly advantageous for logistics, making it easier and more cost-effective to serve clients across the region. Additionally, Australia provides a strong base for managing operations and R&D, while also serving local industries. • China, South Korea, and Japan are important markets due to their dominance in electronics, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. Though logistics may require more coordination, these territories offer significant opportunities due to their advanced manufacturing sectors. • North America and Europe remain crucial due to their established industries in coatings, lubricants, and energy storage. These markets are relatively easy to serve thanks to efficient shipping networks and strong demand for advanced materials. Overall, we can supply to any region and are well-positioned to serve clients globally.
