"2018 has been a good year for Directa Plus, in terms of accelerating commercial traction, agreements and collaborations signed and orders for our products this year and 2019,” said Giulio Cesareo, the chief executive officer of Directa Plus.
“We also repositioned ourselves in the key verticals we target for G+ products in order to move up the value chain, selling more than just pristine graphene nanoplatelets, so as to capture additional value for our shareholders. Looking forward we now have clearer visibility of a proportion of next year's revenue, and as such the board looks forward to 2019 with increasing confidence," he added.
In mid-morning trading, Directa Plus shares were 3.3% higher at 47.50p.
