Premier Graphene, Inc. (OTC: BIEI) announced today the successful completion and delivery of its first military-related order, issued by Mexico's Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA). The order was fulfilled through the Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), with products passing preliminary inspection and officially delivered at 4:50 PM Central Time on May 8, 2026. This initial tranche marks a significant operational milestone for the company and its joint venture partners, including HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI.
The completion of this order positions Premier Graphene for ongoing defense-related supply opportunities within Mexico and potentially broader Latin American markets. Management believes successful fulfillment under the SEDENA-linked procurement framework will lead to follow-on supply discussions involving military-grade protective plates, graphene-enhanced tactical equipment, advanced materials for personnel and vehicle protection systems, and broader graphene-related defense applications.
Mexico represents one of the largest and most strategically important defense and infrastructure markets in Latin America, supported by a national economy exceeding $1.4 trillion in GDP and growing investment in modernization, security, and domestic manufacturing initiatives. Increasing global demand for lightweight, high-strength advanced materials may create substantial long-term opportunities for graphene-enhanced products across military and industrial sectors.
“This first completed delivery represents an important operational and strategic milestone for Premier Graphene,” said Pedro Mendez, President of Premier Graphene and HGI. “Successfully meeting delivery timelines and passing inspection standards demonstrates our production capability, execution readiness, and ability to operate within highly demanding government procurement contracts and timelines. More importantly, we believe this delivery helps establish a foundation for potential long-term participation within Mexico's military supply chain and future graphene-enhanced defense opportunities.”
Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico added, “Mexico's defense modernization efforts and increasing focus on advanced materials create what we believe may be a substantial long-term market opportunity. Completing and delivering the initial order is a critical first step toward potentially expanding our role as a supplier of graphene-enhanced products and advanced defense materials within Mexico and potentially throughout Latin America.”
Management stated that the company remains engaged in ongoing discussions surrounding future procurement opportunities and broader graphene-enhanced defense applications tied to military and government-related initiatives. The company believes graphene's growing importance across defense, infrastructure, aerospace, and industrial sectors positions Premier Graphene to participate in what management views as a potentially significant multi-billion-dollar global advanced materials market opportunity.
