military technology sector
Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of
graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and
industrial markets, announces a strategic collaboration with The
SPECTRUM Group ("Spectrum"), a US strategic advisory and government
relations firm, to explore the potential of G+(R) technologies in
the US defence sector, ahead of presenting Directa Plus' products
at the Annual Meeting of the Association of the United States Army
on 9-11 October 2023 in Washington, DC.
Spectrum will leverage its expertise and extensive network to
support Directa Plus in driving its business expansion into the
military technology sector. Spectrum has a comprehensive
understanding of Directa Plus' G+(R) textile and Grafysorber (R)
technologies, and its potential and extensive applications, and is
well placed to educate and gain traction within the US market.
Spectrum's customers span a wide spectrum, including startups,
Fortune 500 companies, government entities at various levels, and
international organisations. The collaboration involves joint
efforts in the development of cutting-edge products, including
G+(R) textile technologies (i.e thermal management, antistatic,
antimicrobial and thermal camouflage solutions), and Grafysorber
technology, with the aim to minimise the time to market for the
Group's G+ technologies in the US personal protection and defence
sector.
Through this partnership, Directa Plus has been invited to
attend the Association of the United States Army Annual Meeting in
Washington D.C. in October, where the Group will have the
opportunity to engage with US federal entities and explore
potential partnerships and opportunities in the US federal
sector.
Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus,
said : "Our collaboration with Spectrum is the result of an
introduction and the significant support from General Wesley K.
Clark, who joined our board in October 2022.
"Our strategy is to align in personal protection and defence
with key partners with a deep understanding of key vertical markets
and robust networks. We see this as a platform from which to secure
new business in the US. Directa Plus will leverage its track record
of our established and proven products, such as Grafysorber and
G+(R) textile applications. "
Lieutenant General John Caldwell, Head of Aerospace and Defence
at The SPECTRUM Group added: "The more we learn about Directa Plus,
the more confident we are regarding opportunities in the U.S.
Defence Sector".

Notes to Editors
Directa Plus (www.directa-plus.com) is one of the largest
producers and suppliers of graphene-based products for use in
consumer and industrial markets. The Company's graphene
manufacturing capability uses proprietary patented technology based
on a plasma super expansion process. Starting from natural
graphite, each step of Directa Plus' production process -
expansion, exfoliation and drying - creates graphene-based
materials and hybrid graphene materials ready for a variety of uses
and available in various forms such as powder, liquid and
paste.
This proprietary production process uses a physical process,
rather than a chemical process, to process graphite into pristine
graphene nanoplatelets, which enables Directa Plus to offer a
sustainable, non-toxic product, without unwanted by-products.
Directa Plus' products are made of hybrid graphene materials and
graphene nano-platelets. The products (marketed as G+(R)) have
multiple applications due to its properties. These G+(R) products
can be categorised into various families, with different products
being suitable for specific practical applications.
