Versarien and Haydale to take part in Graphene promotional exhibit

Versarien and Haydale Graphene have announced their participation in the UK Graphene Exhibit at Nano Korea in July.

The two AIM companies will join a plethora of leading graphene technology companies, research institutes and government agencies at the event, which is supported by Korea and UK Trade and Investment.

The exhibit, which will span 1-3 July, will promote the merits and potential of the UK's graphene industry to Korean stakeholders.

"This is a milestone for us as we take our new graphene product into the Far East having received lots of inquiries from this region and we are expecting a warm reception," said Versarien chief executive Neill Ricketts.

Meanwhile, Haydale announced that it will also be establishing a Seoul office, to further drive expansion into the country.

"Initially the company will be a sales and marketing office managing companies Haydale has been working with and sampling over the last nine months," a Haydale spokesperson said.

"Thereafter a centre of excellence will be established to include a Haydale reactor offering both functionalisation and advisory services to Far East customers."
