Directa Plus makes luxury accessories breakthrough

04/05/2018
Graphene-based textiles developer Directa Plus has revealed it has entered into a 12-month exclusivity agreement to produce luxury accessories “with increased mechanical properties” for one of its existing customers. 

The company said the deal, which includes a nine-month development agreement, is worth approximately €130,000. It anticipates it will lead to a commercial contract in the future. 

It has already begun work with this customer at its advanced development facility, which it hopes will allow it to reduce the time it takes to bring the new products to market. 

Giulio Cesareo, CEO of Directa Plus, said: “We are delighted to continue our work with this forward-thinking premier global player in the luxury accessories market and look forward to helping them launch leading graphene-enhanced products that will set new industry standards. 

“The deal further demonstrates the increasing traction and great opportunities that exist for our innovative and disruptive G+ material, especially as we now have an enhanced process for the physical functionalisation of graphene. Companies across multiple large global industries are waking up to the benefits we can bring to them.”
