Advanced Graphene Products

What Advanced Graphene Products does

Advanced Graphene Products S.A. (AGP) is a Polish specialty materials company founded in 2012 and headquartered at the Science and Technology Park of the University of Zielona Góra. It manufactures two principal graphene product lines: HSMG® (High Strength Metallurgical Graphene), a large-area quasi-monocrystalline graphene grown via a patented liquid metal matrix (Cu-Ni alloy) process protected by a granted US patent, and conventional flake graphene produced from graphite precursors via chemical or mechanical synthesis. Annual stated production capacity is 100 kg of flake graphene and 150 m² of large-area HSMG. The technology was developed by co-founder Prof. Piotr Kula of Politechnika Łódzka, which remains a strategic R&D partner.

The company's revenue model combines direct B2B sales of raw graphene (powder, dispersions, pastes) to industrial and research customers with the sale of a downstream branded product — PROGRAFEN, a graphene-enriched PLA/PET-G 3D printing filament — and exclusive European distribution rights for Garmor (Asbury Group) edge-functionalised graphene targeting polymers, cement, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct enterprise sales supported by in-house R&D, EU-funded internationalisation programmes (Go-to-Brand targeting Japan and Brazil), active participation in international trade shows (Mobile World Congress, CEATEC Japan, Futurecom Brazil, Graphene Week), and regional distribution partnerships (notably PI-KEM in the UK). Customers are unnamed but span industrial composites, electronics, medical devices, construction materials, and 3D printing. Capital to date consists of a 2017 equity emission of PLN 7.4 million and approximately PLN 6.1 million in cumulative EU grants for internationalisation and downstream R&D projects.
