Premier Graphene Inc. (OTC: BIEI), a developer of advanced graphene-based defense technologies, announced the award of its first defense contract from Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA). The contract was issued by the Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), a manufacturing and supply division of SEDENA, following a formal request for proposal and extensive pre-contract testing by the military authority.
The direct award resulted from FAVE’s evaluation of Premier Graphene’s specialized military equipment solutions. Product testing demonstrated full compliance with SEDENA’s operational and technical specifications and, in several performance areas, may have exceeded required standards. This initial contract covers the production of specialized belt assemblies with lower back support and integrated ammunition carriers designed to meet military operational requirements.
The first production run under this contract will serve as a qualification and validation batch, subject to rigorous durability, performance, and compliance testing by Mexico’s military authorities. This milestone formally establishes Premier Graphene and its joint venture partner, HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI, as entrants into Mexico’s military supply chain. The companies believe this validation positions them for additional contract opportunities in Mexico and throughout Latin America, where prior testing and product evaluations for other military and security applications have already been conducted.
As a Mexico-based company, HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI played a key role in supporting the procurement process through its local manufacturing capabilities and domestic supply-chain relationships, working in coordination with Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico. The companies have secured all necessary financing to support production and delivery, with initial product delivery expected within ten business days.
Pedro Mendez, President of Premier Graphene and HGI, stated, ‘This directly awarded contract represents an important validation of both our technology and our ability to meet the standards of Mexico’s Military. It confirms our capability to respond effectively to a government-initiated direct adjudication, satisfy demanding military requirements, and deliver solutions precisely aligned with military operational needs. We believe this is the first step in what will become a broader and more impactful defense relationship, including near-future graphene-enhanced solutions.’
Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico added, ‘After months of focused technical development and evaluation, this initial contract represents the first of what we anticipate will be multiple defense supply agreements. Several additional significant procurement opportunities remain actively under review. We are awaiting ITAR certification, including so that we can commence creation and delivery of heavy military hardware and specialized vehicle protection, drone equipment, and anti-drone technology to protect the troops while combating the heavily armed cartels.’
This directly awarded contract represents a strategic entry into Mexico’s tightly regulated and highly selective military manufacturing ecosystem. It establishes Premier Graphene and HGI Industrial Technologies as emerging, qualified suppliers capable of meeting the operational, quality, and delivery standards mandated by national defense procurement authorities. The successful completion of this FAVE-initiated direct award strengthens the companies’ ongoing discussions with other Latin American military agencies, where equipment has previously been supplied and subjected to successful testing programs. Validation through SEDENA is expected to open pathways to additional military and security-related procurement programs both within Mexico and across the region.
Further updates will be provided as production milestones are achieved, evaluations are completed, and any follow-on contracts are awarded. For more information, visit premiergrapheneinc.com or hgiindustrialtechnologies.com.
