Haydale has congratulated the University of Manchester on the recent opening of its Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre (GEIC).

The global advanced materials group attended the £60 million Masdar Building, which houses the GEIC at the University of Manchester, UK, of which Haydale is a Tier 1 partner.

The recently supplied Haydale functionalisation plasma reactor was a prominent feature at the event where it will be available to GEIC members, including the National Physical Laboratory, to develop the science of functionalisation and pioneer new advanced materials development.

Haydale’s exhibition stand featured many products enhanced with Haydale’s functionalised graphenes currently being sold in the market, including biomedical sensors, heat sensors, printed inks, graphene enhanced pre-impregnated carbon fibre composites and mould tooling, plus its newly launched anti-counterfeit technology, PATit. Haydale generated over £1.0 million of sales from its graphene enhanced products and services in its last financial year.

Additionally, Haydale’s functionalised graphenes were on display throughout the exhibition by some of its customers, including:


  • BAC (Briggs Automotive Company) Ltd displayed its supercar, the BAC Mono, which features a graphene enhanced rear diffuser developed by Haydale; and

  • The University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN) displayed its graphene skinned UAV, which addresses issues within the UAV market, such as lightning strikes, de-icing and light weighting.

David Banks, Interim Executive Chairman at Haydale, said: “I would like to congratulate the University of Manchester on the official opening of the Masdar Building. It was an honour to attend this prestigious event and it was fantastic to see an array of Haydale’s technologies featured within the various products that were on display in the exhibition. It is important that Haydale’s technology is advancing the industry and I look forward to Haydale continuing to work with the GEIC and its collaboration partners to accelerate the commercialisation of graphene.”
