Premier Graphene Inc. (OTC: BIEI), a developer of advanced graphene-based defense technologies, along with its affiliate HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI (formerly HGI Industrial Technologies S.A. de P.I. de C.V.), have secured their initial contract with Mexico’s defense sector. The contract was awarded by the Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), a division of Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (DEFENSA). This milestone marks the companies' strategic entry into Mexico’s defense manufacturing ecosystem and establishes them as emerging participants within a highly selective procurement framework.
Test results preceding the contract award conformed perfectly to military specifications, often exceeding expectations, which culminated in this initial contract. The award follows a direct request for proposal prompted by the companies' uniquely fabricated, specialized belt assemblies with integrated magazine carriers, designed to meet demanding operational requirements, including protecting military personnel. This initial production will function as a validating, qualification batch, surviving rigorous evaluation protocols including durability, performance, and compliance testing by operative defense authorities. Successful validation should unlock access to larger procurement opportunities for a wide range of products, positioning both companies for scaled participation in future supply programs.
Premier Graphene and HGI delivered a competitive and technically aligned proposal, demonstrating cost efficiency and capacity to meet stringent quality and delivery standards mandated by defense supply chains. The formal award reflects affirmation of both companies’ operational execution capabilities and long-term potential as reliable suppliers. Additionally, the companies have secured necessary financing for production and delivery costs, assuring product delivery and consummation of this initial contract. Similar financial arrangements are anticipated for future contracts. Initial product should be delivered within 10 business days.
“This contract represents more than a first award—it is an affirmation and a validation point,” states Pedro Mendez, President of both Premier Graphene and HGI. “This demonstrates our capacity to strategically navigate complex procurement environments, align with institutional requirements, and deliver solutions meeting, if not exceeding, the demanding standards of defense authorities. Equally significant, this is a start of something which we feel will be inevitably more profound, particularly with the addition of graphene in these and other products.” Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico added, “After many months of intense work, we finally have the first of many contracts. We still await a successful landing of three major ongoing supply contracts currently in process.”
This landmark achievement also opens the door to other Latin American countries with whom the companies have been negotiating and supplying various equipment and products, resulting in consistently successful testing results. As a Mexican company, HGI facilitated this contract with its established network within Mexico’s manufacturing infrastructure, combined with the coordination and support of Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico. Further details regarding production timelines, technical specifications, and contract expansion pathways will be communicated as each milestone event is achieved.
