Graphene-enriched carbon fibre is a game-changer: it combines extraordinary strength, lightness, and conductivity to enable breakthroughs in aerospace, automotive, renewable energy, space, defence, and construction. From local raw material sourcing to an emphasis on cutting-edge technologies, GIM GrapheneFibre stands as a beacon of Saudi excellence, accelerating the Kingdom\u2019s global influence in advanced manufacturing.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission is to revolutionize the advanced materials sector universally by bringing graphene-enriched carbon fibre to commercial scale,\u201d<\/strong> said Dr. Vivek Koncherry, Chairman & CEO of GIM GrapheneFibre<\/strong>. \u201cBy integrating graphene\u2019s remarkable properties into carbon fibre, we are pushing the boundaries of what\u2019s possible. We are delighted that this innovation was developed in close partnership with OCH, enhancing the Kingdom\u2019s role as a global technology leader.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ahead of his visit to Saudi Arabia the UK Prime Minister, Sir Kier Starmer\u2019s office heralded the deal between GIM and OCH as prime initiative of Saudi UK Partnership.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to leveraging Saudi Arabia\u2019s abundant resources and homegrown talent,\u201d<\/strong> stated Abdulrahman Assaker, Chairman of OCH<\/strong>. \u201cThis investment supports Vision 2030 by building local expertise, unlocking more sustainable applications for oil resources and creating more opportunities in high tech industries, firmly positioning the Kingdom as a leader in advanced materials. This project will contribute by adding over 4,500 new skilled jobs to Saudi Arabia\u2019s economy by 2030, generating revenues exceeding SAR 6 billion.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur strong partnership with GIM and shared vision ensures that we bring the best of international know-how to Saudi Arabia,\u201d<\/strong> added Abdulghani Alhindi, CEO of OCH<\/strong>. \u201cBy prioritizing and harnessing innovation, we are developing an ecosystem that nurtures entrepreneurs, empowers the workforce, and strengthens the economic fabric of our nation. This project produces raw materials that will attract state of the art industries to localize advanced manufacturing in Saudi Arabia\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The launch of GIM GrapheneFibre\u2019s commercial production is underpinned by a forward-looking operational strategy that emphasizes speed, adaptability, and intelligent resource allocation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deploying the \u2018CHON Concept\u2019\u2014a framework integrating artificial intelligence, open innovation, rapid prototyping and investment, and lean startup principles\u2014to accelerate product development and continuously improve performance,\u201d<\/strong> explained Abdul Rahman Khalidi, COO of OCH<\/strong>. \u201cThis holistic approach ensures that our operations remain agile, efficient, and resilient.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission at OCH is to transform innovative, unconventional ideas in Saudi Arabia into viable business opportunities,\u201d<\/strong> said Areej Alturki, Chief Strategy Officer of OCH<\/strong>. \u201cBy investing in advanced tools, encouraging talent, and engaging with diverse partners, we are working to shape a future-ready environment that supports sustained growth and perpetual advancement of Science and Technology. We invite industry leaders and innovators to collaborate with us on this exciting journey at och.sa\/collab\u201d \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
