Graphene specialist Directa Plus PLC (LON:DCTA) and clothing group Alfredo Grassi have extended their exclusive relationship for up to a further three years.
The two will focus especially on the use of graphene to enhance military outerwear as well as workwear for organisations such as the Italian police and fire services.
Directa Plus and Grassi have worked together for three years already and produced more than 80,000 metres of fabric enhanced with graphene.
Giulio Cesareo, Directa Plus chief executive, said: "We have a number of active projects that we are already working on in partnership with Grassi, which we hope will result in significantly increased sales of G+ enhanced garments.
“We are particularly excited about new product development plans for military and professional and workwear applications.”
