Levidian wins significant Saudi Arabia graphene order
The order follows Levidian’s first tonne-scale graphene order in the region, announced in October, and reinforces growing demand for verified graphene at industrial volumes as customers move from testing to procurement. It also reflects a further expansion of graphene evaluation in a new, large- scale industrial setting.
MENA continues to be a strategic focus for Levidian. The company is strengthening collaborations with regional partners to accelerate adoption across multiple applications, while progressing plans to scale local graphene production.
Across global industry, graphene adoption has historically been constrained by barriers around cost, quality, consistency and scalable supply. Levidian’s patented LOOP technology is designed to tackle these barriers directly, enabling customers to access verified, high-performance graphene in industrial volumes.
LOOP’s modular design and potential to deploy near the point of demand can also support supply chain resilience, an increasingly important factor in today’s volatile geopolitical environment.
Colin Elcoate, Managing Director, MENA Region at Levidian, said: “In Saudi Arabia, the focus is not on proving the science but proving performance and commercial value in real industrial conditions. This second tonne-scale order supports a large-scale industrial trial, and it reflects growing confidence from serious operators who want to test graphene properly before committing to wider adoption.
“For us, that is exactly the right pathway. These trials are about building robust data, understanding operational impact, and demonstrating where graphene genuinely delivers value not in the lab, but in the field. Working with Kanoo Energy gives us the right partner on the ground to do this properly in the Saudi market.”
Ali Abdulla Kanoo, Chairman, Yusuf Bin Ahmed Kanoo Company Limited, KSA, said: “This order is a practical step forward for graphene adoption in Saudi Arabia. It will help customers evaluate performance in real operating conditions before moving to wider deployment. Working with Levidian, we are focused on performance, consistent quality and reliable delivery, aligned with the Kingdom’s long-term industrial growth ambitions.”
Fahad Fawzi Kanoo, Chairman, Kanoo Industrial & Energy added: "This order for graphene shows Kanoo Energy's adaptability in introducing new technology in the region. This pilot project with Levidian is expected to lead us to many similar projects in the region.”
