About this update from Graphite One Inc.
G1 CEO: Company marks "another major execution milestone as we move closer to building America's next-generation graphite supply chain." Advancing a Vertically Integrated North American Supply Chain for EV and Energy Storage Battery Materials VANCOUVER, BC, June 18, 2026 /CNW/ - Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) ("Graphite One", "G1" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has engaged a leading global engineering and production line integration provider to support the design and integration of the manufacturing equipment being procured for the Company's planned Ohio advanced graphite materials facility, which remains subject to project financing. The contract represents another significant step in Graphite One's strategy to build a fully integrated, U.S.-based graphite supply chain capable of supplying battery-grade graphite materials for electric vehicles, energy storage systems, and defense applications. "This is a meaningful execution milestone for Graphite One," said Anthony Huston, Chief Executive Officer. "We are moving beyond planning and into the detailed engineering and implementation phase required to build a battery materials manufacturing operation. Bringing on a highly experienced production integration team reduces execution risk, accelerates our development timeline, and positions us to efficiently scale production as demand for domestic graphite continues to grow. By involving and iterating with end-users during the design and development phase, G1's production line will be purpose-built from the start – a key to our go-to-market strategy that we believe will serve us well." The engineering team will provide Production Line Integration services, ensuring the seamless coordination and optimization of the equipment that will form the backbone of Graphite One's Ohio manufacturing operations. The work includes equipment interface design, process integration, production flow optimization, and operational readiness planning. The Ohio facility is expected to produce Active Anode Materials ("AAM"), the largest component by weight in virtually every lithium-ion battery. With graphite accounting for approximately 95% of the anode in today's lithium-ion batteries, Graphite One believes the project is strategically positioned to support th...
