Premier Graphene and joint venture partner HGI Industrial Technologies have received their first defense contract from Mexico’s SEDENA via a direct award from the FAVE division, covering specialized belt assemblies after pre-contract military testing.
Premier Graphene, Inc. together with joint venture partner HGI Industrial Technologies SAPI, has been awarded its first defense contract issued by Mexico’s Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) through its Dirección General de Fábrica de Vestuario y Equipo (FAVE) division, according to official disclosures.
The direct award followed a formal government-initiated request and extensive pre-award testing under military protocols. The contract covers production of specialized belt assemblies featuring lower back support and integrated ammunition carriers.
The initial production run will serve as a qualification and validation batch subject to further military durability and compliance testing, with first delivery expected within ten business days. This development matters because SEDENA’s procurement ecosystem is tightly regulated and highly selective. Demonstrating compliance and potentially exceeding standards in several performance areas qualifies Premier Graphene and HGI as emerging suppliers within Mexico’s military manufacturing framework.
The companies have secured necessary financing for production and delivery. Industries impacted include defense textiles, advanced materials, and military logistics. Regional stakeholders include Latin American defense agencies where the companies have conducted prior testing.
For investors, successful validation through SEDENA could unlock additional procurement programs in Mexico and across Latin America, while the direct award mechanism rather than competitive bidding, signals institutional confidence based on demonstrated product performance. HGI’s local manufacturing capabilities and domestic supply-chain relationships were instrumental in navigating the procurement process.
Premier Graphene is a developer of graphene-based defense and protective-wear technologies headquartered in the United States.
SEDENA is Mexico’s national defense secretariat, responsible for the Mexican Army and Air Force.
