Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSX-V:GMG, OTCQX:GMGMF) CEO Craig Nicol talked with Proactive’s Stephen Gunnion about recent milestones, including US EPA approval and European expansion, outlining how these developments are expected to drive revenue growth in the near term.

Nicol highlighted the significance of securing EPA approval for THERMAL-XR, the company’s graphene coating, describing it as a major achievement after years of work. He said, “one of the few companies in the world they’ve actually got that graphene approval into America through the EPA,” underlining the rarity and importance of this regulatory milestone. The approval enables GMG to enter the large US HVAC-R market, supported by distribution partner Nu-Calgon, which provides access to approximately 4,000 distribution points across North America.

The discussion also covered the company’s rapid expansion into Europe, where a newly established sales team is already generating market interest. Nicol explained that the strategy is “a multi-channel, multi-layered approach,” targeting sectors such as automotive components and lubricant additives, supported by a growing patent portfolio.

Looking ahead, the company is focused on delivering revenue from its global initiatives, including partnerships in Australia and expanding distribution channels across the US and Europe. Nicol indicated that while early revenues are expected this year, scaling will depend on adoption rates and distribution partner performance.
