Premier Graphene Completes First Military Order, Opens Door to Latin American Defense Contracts

Premier Graphene, Inc. (OTC: BIEI) announced today the successful completion and delivery of its first military-related order, marking a significant operational milestone. The order, issued through Mexico's Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) and its Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE), was delivered and passed preliminary inspection on May 8, 2026. This initial tranche of goods positions the company for ongoing defense-related supply opportunities within Mexico and potentially broader Latin American markets.

The successful fulfillment under the SEDENA-linked procurement framework is expected to lead to follow-on supply discussions involving military-grade protective plates, graphene-enhanced tactical equipment, advanced materials for personnel and vehicle protection systems, and broader graphene-related defense applications. Mexico, with a GDP exceeding $1.4 trillion, represents one of the largest defense and infrastructure markets in Latin America, with growing investment in modernization and security.

“This first completed delivery represents an important operational and strategic milestone for Premier Graphene,” said Pedro Mendez, President of Premier Graphene and HGI. “Successfully meeting delivery timelines and passing inspection standards demonstrates our production capability, execution readiness, and ability to operate within highly demanding government procurement contracts.” He added that the delivery helps establish a foundation for potential long-term participation within Mexico's military supply chain.

Lic. Emmanuel Hernández Rico noted that Mexico's defense modernization efforts and focus on advanced materials create a substantial long-term market opportunity. Completing the initial order is a critical step toward potentially expanding the company's role as a supplier of graphene-enhanced products across Latin America.

Premier Graphene believes that graphene's growing importance across defense, infrastructure, aerospace, and industrial sectors positions the company to participate in what management views as a potentially significant multi-billion-dollar global advanced materials market. The company remains engaged in ongoing discussions surrounding future procurement opportunities and broader graphene-enhanced defense applications.
