Established in 2005 by Giulio Cesareo, Directa Plus operates as a producer and supplier of graphene-based products for consumer and industrial applications. Mr. Cesareo, who serves as the company's CEO, has a background in mechanical engineering from the Polytechnic University of Milan and holds an MBA from Bocconi University; his career includes extensive experience in the graphite and carbon industry prior to founding the company. A significant milestone was the company's listing on the AIM segment of the London Stock Exchange in 2016, providing a platform for further growth.
The company's business model is centered on the production and supply of pristine graphene nanoplatelets, marketed under the G+® brand. Directa Plus has developed a patented and chemical-free production process which is scalable and can be co-located at customer sites to optimize logistics. Revenue is generated through the sale of its graphene products and by providing services, primarily within two core verticals: Environmental Remediation and Textiles. The company partners with its customers, enabling them to integrate the high-performance benefits of graphene into their own end-products. This B2B strategy targets existing markets where the addition of G+® can significantly improve product performance. The company's financials show revenues of €6.7 million in 2024, a decrease from €10.5 million in the prior year, with a reported pre-tax loss of €5.4 million.
Directa Plus's core product is G+® Graphene Plus, pristine graphene nanoplatelets derived from natural graphite through a proprietary physical transformation process. This method avoids the use of chemicals, resulting in a product certified as safe, non-toxic, and hypoallergenic. The company's offerings are tailored for various applications. In the environmental sector, its Grafysorber® product is used for oil and hydrocarbon remediation from water and soil. The textiles division develops fabrics with enhanced thermal and electrical conductivity, bacteriostatic properties, and flame retardancy for markets including workwear, luxury apparel, and defense. Other commercial applications for its graphene include composites, paints, elastomers, tires, and advanced battery materials.
