iGii

Integrated Graphene, founded in 2016 by Claus Marquordt and Marco Caffio, operates as an advanced materials supplier with a focus on commercializing graphene technology. The company has developed and patented a proprietary, low-cost process for producing a pure, porous 3D Graphene Foam, trademarked as Gii™. This production method is designed for scalability and allows for the foam to be applied to various surfaces in a matter of seconds, addressing a key manufacturing challenge that has historically limited the widespread adoption of graphene.

The founders' backgrounds are complementary to the company's mission. Claus Marquordt brings extensive experience in business development and management, having held senior roles across various technology sectors. Marco Caffio, the Chief Scientific Officer, provides the deep technical expertise, with a background in nanotechnology and materials science, focusing on the synthesis and application of carbon nanomaterials. Their combined skills have steered the company from a research-focused entity to a commercial enterprise.

Integrated Graphene's business model centers on supplying this specialized Gii™ material to manufacturers in different sectors, enabling them to enhance their own products. The company tailors the properties of Gii™ for specific applications. A primary market focus is human diagnostics, where they have launched Gii-Sens™. This product is a highly sensitive biosensor electrode designed to improve the performance of point-of-care diagnostic tests. By providing a more effective sensing material, Gii-Sens™ aims to replace traditional, less efficient materials in this market segment. Another key product in their pipeline is Gii-Cap™, a supercapacitor that leverages the properties of their 3D Graphene Foam to offer enhanced power storage solutions for electronics. The company generates revenue by selling these advanced material products directly to other businesses.
