Premier Graphene, Inc. (OTC: BIEI), a developer of advanced graphene-based defense and protective-wear fortification technologies, announced that it has secured its first contract with the Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), a division of Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (DEFENSA). The contract was awarded in coordination with its joint venture partners HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI and Nevada Ballistic Armor Corp., along with other affiliates.
The contract follows a direct request for proposal and successful testing that conformed to military specifications, often exceeding expectations. The initial production will serve as a qualifying batch, undergoing rigorous evaluation protocols including durability, performance, and compliance testing. Successful validation is expected to unlock access to larger procurement opportunities for a wide range of products.
“This contract represents more than a first award—it is an affirmation and a validation point,” said 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.”
As a Mexican company, HGI facilitated the contract through its established network within Mexico’s manufacturing infrastructure, with coordination and support from Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico. The award specifically involves uniquely fabricated, specialized belt assemblies with integrated magazine carriers designed to meet demanding operational requirements, including protecting military personnel.
Premier Graphene and HGI have secured financing for production and delivery costs, with initial product expected within 10 business days. The companies anticipate similar financial arrangements for future contracts. “After many months of intense work, we finally have the first of many contracts,” added Lic. Hernández Rico. “We still await a successful landing of three major ongoing supply contracts currently in process.”
This landmark achievement opens the door to other Latin American countries with which the companies have been negotiating and supplying various equipment and products, resulting in consistently successful testing results. The formal award reflects affirmation of both companies’ operational execution capabilities and long-term potential as reliable suppliers for ongoing revenue streams.
