Premier Graphene, Inc. (OTC: BIEI), together with its joint venture partners including HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI, today provided an operational update on its initial military contract awarded through Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA). The contract, issued by Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), follows extensive technical evaluation and marks the Company’s formal entry into Mexico’s military supply chain.
The Company announced that a portion of the previously disclosed order has already been successfully delivered, with the balance on track for completion by May 12. This phased delivery schedule underscores operational capacity and supply chain reliability, while positioning the Company for potential follow-on orders and longer-term supply agreements with various departments of Mexico’s government.
Mexico represents a significant strategic market in Latin America, with a national economy exceeding $1.4 trillion in GDP and a growing emphasis on domestic defense capabilities. Mexico’s military and security budget, estimated in the tens of billions annually, continues to expand. By entering this selective procurement framework, Premier Graphene and its partners are positioning themselves at the intersection of advanced materials innovation and long-term defense spending.
Management believes successful execution of this initial contract may serve as a gateway to multiple follow-on supply agreements, including military-grade protective plates and armor solutions (once ITAR certification is complete), graphene-enhanced tactical equipment, advanced materials for vehicle and personnel protection systems, and broader graphene supply contracts across defense and infrastructure sectors.
The Company is actively evaluating opportunities to become a premier supplier of graphene and graphene-enhanced products to military and government-linked entities in the U.S., Mexico, and potentially across Latin America. With increasing global demand for high-performance materials, graphene is emerging as a critical material across defense, infrastructure, and industrial applications. Premier Graphene’s proprietary technologies and vertically integrated approach target what management believes could be a multi-billion-dollar addressable market.
“This milestone is not just about delivering an initial order—it’s about establishing a foundation for long-term participation in one of the largest and most important defense markets in the region,” said Pedro Mendez, President of Premier Graphene. “With delivery expected by May 12th, we are focused on execution, validation, and scaling. We believe this positions us to pursue larger contracts, including military plate supply and broader graphene-based solutions.”
Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico added, “Mexico’s size, economic strength, and ongoing security priorities create a substantial and expanding opportunity. This initial contract is a critical entry point. We are actively engaged in discussions that could significantly expand our role as a supplier, with the potential to become a leading provider of advanced graphene materials and enhanced defense products.”
Following delivery and evaluation of the initial production run, the Company anticipates additional procurement discussions with SEDENA-linked entities, expansion into higher-value defense applications, potential contract awards tied to graphene-enhanced military solutions, broader regional opportunities across Latin America, and near-shoring production for North American defense opportunities.
Further updates will be provided as delivery milestones are achieved, additional supply chains are added, and additional contracts are secured.
