Business Wire
With the appointments of Greg McKenzie and Tom
Rooney as the initial members of the SAC, the international
technology company will augment its knowledge and experience in
energy, infrastructure, policy, capital markets, and corporate
governance as it accelerates its growth strategy into North
America
Graphex Technologies, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Graphex
Group Limited (collectively “Graphex” or the “Company”)) (NYSE
American: GRFX | HKSE: 6128) and a global leader in mid-stream
processing of natural graphite for use in Lithium-ion (Li-ion)
powered batteries, today announced the formation of its U.S.
strategic advisory committee as it continues to move forward with
its business objectives to establish end-to-end graphite processing
and production capabilities in North America and beyond. The
advisory committee is being formed to provide advice and
consultation by professionals across multiple industries to
accelerate Graphex’s business opportunities. It is expected that
shares of Graphex that are granted to the advisors will be subject
to a 12-month lock-up restriction.
Graphex has retained Greg McKenzie and Tom Rooney as strategic
advisors and the first members of its newly announced advisory
committee. Additional members will be announced in the coming
weeks.
- Greg McKenzie arrives with deep experience in metals and
mining, most recently serving as Chairman and CEO of Maritime Iron
Inc., a Toronto-based company developing a world-class dedicated
Merchant Pig Iron plant. Greg’s input will help to further advance
Graphex’s reputation as leaders in manufacturing and production.
His previous experience in investment banking will bring value to
Graphex as the Company continues to expand its presence in North
America and pursue new avenues for capital investments and market
positioning.
- Tom Rooney joins Graphex with a strong background not
only in energy and infrastructure, but also vast executive
experience in leading public companies through growth
transformations, operational turnarounds, and various corporate
evolutions. Tom has served as a board member at Central States
Water Resources, Integrated Water Services, and Crom Corporation,
along with many others, and will bring valuable insights from those
experiences to Graphex.
“We have reached a pivotal period in our strategic growth plan.
The depth and breadth of the experience, guidance, and counsel that
these gentlemen bring will help us navigate the next phases of
development and positioning,” said John DeMaio, Chief Executive
Officer of Graphex Technologies. “Graphex continues to lead with
deep production experience coupled with the ability to quickly
bring facilities online to meet the unprecedented demand for
refined graphite in North America. This advisory committee will
further advance the Company’s work to increase graphite production
globally and to onshore mid-stream critical mineral supply chains.
Each advisor brings a wealth of experience across various sectors
to support our global expansion and overall business strategy. I
look forward to working closely with each of them.”
Graphex is currently among the top 10 suppliers of specialized
spherical graphite to the EV and renewable energy industries. As
the projected demand for EVs and other sustainable energy solutions
continues to grow, there is a correlated increase in demand for the
critical minerals necessary to manufacture the Li-ion batteries
that power them. Graphex’s graphite processing plant in Warren,
Michigan is forecasted to be operational in 2024 and is on track to
be one of the only plants in the U.S. to have a solidified North
American supply chain of natural graphite.
