What Graphmatech does
Graphmatech AB is a Sweden-based materials technology company founded in 2017 as a spin-out from Uppsala University by Dr. Mamoun Taher. The company develops and commercializes Aros Graphene®, a patented graphene hybrid material platform that solves the long-standing agglomeration problem in graphene applications by coating particles with a thin layer of graphene to keep layers separate during industrial processing. This enables drop-in integration of graphene into polymers and metals at industrial scale without requiring customers to retool manufacturing processes. The company operates across four solution areas: Conductive Polymers (ESD-safe masterbatches in HDPE, PA6, PA11, PETG, PVDF, PPS, PP, TPU), Better Metals (silver-graphene, copper-graphene, plasma-sprayed metal-graphene composites), 3D Materials (FDM filaments and SLS powders for additive manufacturing), and Polymers for the Hydrogen Economy (AROS Polyamide-Graphene composites and HDPE masterbatches for hydrogen storage, transport, and pressure vessels). Demonstrated technical outcomes include up to 83–85% reduction in hydrogen leakage, 99.97% component density in 3D-printed copper parts, 67% reduction in copper powder reflectance, and 160% increased elongation in PA11-graphene composites.
The company's business model is enterprise B2B direct sales, supported by an e-commerce web shop for 3D printing materials sold to SMB and individual buyers. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time material sales (masterbatches, compounds, filaments, powders) and recurring supply/off-take agreements with industrial customers, with licensing royalties as a secondary stream from the patented technology portfolio. Customers include industrial OEMs in hydrogen infrastructure (Polytubes), additive manufacturing (Filalab UAB, MTC Powder Solutions), defense-related industries (identified via separate defense contact channel), and research collaborators (Uppsala University). The company is transitioning from an R&D startup to commercial scale, with production capacity planned to expand from 5 to 200 tons per year by Q1 2026, and is actively pursuing geographic expansion in Europe, North America (Canada), and the Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia corridor) through strategic partnerships and MoUs.
The company has secured approximately £12 million (~$15 million) in cumulative equity funding from investors including ABB Technology Ventures, InnoEnergy, Almi Invest GreenTech, Molindo Energy, Forward Ventures, Walerud Ventures, and SEB Venture Debt, plus non-dilutive grant funding of 10M SEK from the Swedish Energy Agency and €2.5M from the European Union. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with event-driven demand generation (JEC, Sustainable Plastics, Hydrogen Tech Expo), content marketing, and channel partnerships for regional distribution.
