Executive Summary

  • ALUULA Composites Inc. entered a binding twelve‑month supply purchase agreement with OCEANICWING SAS (operating as Airseas) effective January 1, 2026, securing demand for its composite fabrics in the Phase 2 development of Airseas’ Seawing wind‑propulsion system.
  • The agreement sets fixed pricing and minimum purchase volumes for up to 600 m² of ultra‑light, recycle‑ready composite material per kite, supporting Airseas’ planned sea trials on a bulk carrier in 2026.
  • The partnership positions ALUULA to benefit from the anticipated 20 % fuel‑savings and emissions‑reduction potential of the Seawing system, enhancing its exposure to the maritime decarbonisation market.

Key Details

  • Agreement Scope: Twelve‑month term beginning 1 Jan 2026; fixed unit prices; minimum material purchase volumes stipulated (specific quantities not disclosed).
  • Product Application: Composite fabrics will be used for constructing 600 m² Seawing kite(s) – the next‑size up from the 300 m² kite tested in June 2025.
  • Development Milestones: Phase 2 of Seawing underway; large kite already built; land‑based testing completed; sea trials scheduled for 2026 on a bulk carrier.
  • Commercial Impact: Guarantees continued revenue stream from Airseas during critical development stage; aligns ALUULA’s production scheduling with Airseas’ timeline.
  • Strategic Significance: Enhances ALUULA’s exposure to the maritime wind‑propulsion market and supports its sustainability narrative (ultra‑high molecular weight fibers, eight times stronger than steel, recycle‑ready).
  • CEO Quote: Sage Berryman highlighted the partnership as a joint effort to accelerate sustainable innovation and decarbonisation in shipping.
