Asbury Carbons processes carbon and graphite materials. Garmor is an advanced materials company based in Orlando, Florida with a patented, environmentally friendly process for the commercial production of Edge Functionalized Graphene (EFG).
Offering Graphene-enhanced Products
“
The acquisition is a perfect fit between the capabilities, scale and operations of Asbury and the innovation, creativity and specialization of Garmor,” said Anastasia Canavan, president and CEO of Garmor.
“
Garmor has several large-scale industrial customers with graphene-enhanced products already on the market and a substantial developing pipe-line in CASE, plastics and ceramics on the immediate horizon. Asbury’s considerable expertise as a supplier into these markets enables Garmor’s ability to effectively scale production to exploit these opportunities,” said Jeff Bullington, Chief Technical Officer of Garmor.
“
This acquisition enhances Asbury’s engineered solutions portfolio. We look forward to bringing the technology that the fantastic Garmor team has developed to full-scale commercialization at our Lumberton, North Carolina site,” said Noah Nichelson, president of Asbury Carbons.
