New York, United States, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Graphjet Technology (“Graphjet” or “the Company”) has completed the testing and commissioning of its new machinery and equipment. This has increased the Company’s production capacity by 7 times and with the enhanced functions of the new machinery and equipment, the Company is now also able to produce types of graphite and graphene for other industries, including the semiconductor industry. With this, the Company is now hopeful for more collaborations and offtake agreements from its customers.
In addition, it has also completed commissioning of its laboratory last week. The Company believes that with these new machinery, equipment and laboratory, the Company is geared towards catering for bigger and more sophisticated customers.
The laboratory is essential to the production of graphite and graphene as it will test the properties of both, allowing for (i) the customization of such properties to better suit the needs of its customers, (ii) better quality control over the graphite and graphene produced and (iii) the conduct of future research and development on new usage of graphite and graphene produced.
The ability to produce graphite and graphene for other industries is especially important in light of the recent graphite shortage . The Company will benefit from the growth in the semiconductor industry where many industry players are now moving towards production of next-generation AI chips, with the outlook being favourable especially since big players such as ARM are now deciding to build their own AI chips instead of licensing the manufacturing. On August 18, SoftBank announced a $2 billion equity investment in Intel, stating their belief that chip manufacturing and supply will expand further in the U.S.
“Graphjet stands to benefit from the U.S. market moving aggressively to build AI chip making capabilities as graphite and graphene play a crucial role in the semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in processes requiring high temperature and precise control.”, says Chris Lai, the CEO of Graphjet.
