July 14, 2016 – London, U.K. — Graphitene Ltd (GL) is pleased to announce that it has opened an office in Estonia, establishing Graphitene OÜ.
Graphitene OU will research, develop and manufacture intelligent high performance textiles/fabrics. There is a leading cluster for advanced textiles/fabrics manufacturing around Tallinn, and Graphitene will engage in R&D with leading regional institutions University of Tartu and Polytechnical University of Tallinn.
Establishing a presence in the Baltic is a first step in a strategy aimed at working in partnership with a number of industrial players in the region to achieve significant practical improvements through the use of graphene.
Graphitene CEO, Gaute Juliussen, commented:
“This is an exciting place for us to explore new potential applications of our existing products and to develop new solutions that can meet the needs of the manufacturers of intelligent high performance textiles and footware. High performance sustainable oil-spill absorbents is also an area we intend to investigate, along with our academic partners.”
