GMG Achieves Major Commercial Milestone - THERMAL-XR(R) to be Distributed Through Australian Beijer Ref and Kirby Network

GMG · Price

Executive Summary

  • Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (GMG) has entered into a collaboration with Beijer Ref to offer GM G’s proprietary THERMAL‑XR® ENHANCE heat‑transfer coating as an optional solution on Beijer Ref and Kirby refrigeration evaporator coils across ~73 wholesale locations in Australia, starting 17 Nov 2025.
  • The agreement allows Beijer Ref customers to contract directly with Beijer Ref, which will then enter a bilateral agreement with GMG under the company’s standard terms; either party may terminate at any time.
  • GMG will deploy a network of certified HVAC contractors (trained in its “GMG SPRAY ACADEMY”) to apply the coating, enabling rapid rollout and scaling through both on‑site service and pre‑approved spray plants.

Key Details

  • Scope of Collaboration – Optional THERMAL‑XR® ENHANCE coating offered on Beijer Patton and Kirby Guardian evaporator coils; coverage includes all 73 Beijer Ref/​Kirby wholesale locations in Australia.
  • Start Date: 17 Nov 2025 (indeterminate duration, terminable by either party).
  • Coating Benefits – Graphene‑based formulation improves thermal performance, corrosion resistance, cooling efficiency, reduces energy consumption and emissions; positioned as an environmentally responsible technology.
  • Distribution Model – Beijer Ref customers contract with Beijer Ref; Beijer Ref then executes a bilateral agreement with GMG under standard terms and conditions.
  • Contractor Program – Certified HVAC contractors will apply the coating via a three‑stage process (surface prep, graphene‑based application, post‑inspection). Contractors receive certification through GMG’s SPRAY ACADEMY and may operate on‑site or at GMG‑approved spray plants nationwide.
  • Strategic Significance – First large‑scale Australian rollout of THERMAL‑XR® ENHANCE via a major global HVAC wholesaler, expanding GMG’s market reach and supporting its “Build Revenue from Energy Savings Products” objective.
  • Quotes – CEO Craig Nicol: “We are proud to see THERMAL‑XR® ENHANCE incorporated into Beijer Ref's and Kirby's product offerings… demonstrates the growing recognition of graphene‑enhanced materials as a viable route to corrosion resistance and greater efficiency.”; Chairman Jack Perkowski: “Congrats to the team – great to see this next step in the roll out of GMG's global leading energy saving products.”
