Graphite India, Kivoro Form Exclusive Graphene Additives Pact

Graphite India Limited has entered an exclusive partnership with Spain-based Kivoro to commercialise graphene-based heat-transfer additives (HTA) in India’s corrugated paperboard industry. The agreement grants Graphite India sole distribution rights for Kivoro’s next-generation HTA technology across the country, marking a significant step in advancing thermal efficiency solutions within a rapidly expanding industrial segment.

Kivoro’s proprietary additive is engineered to enhance heat-transfer efficiency in corrugator plants, enabling higher machine speeds, reduced steam usage, improved board quality and lower production costs. By integrating the material into existing processes, manufacturers can also benefit from shorter start-up times and fewer defects, strengthening operational performance.

Kivoro’s chief executive said the partnership represents a milestone as the company scales its graphene-enabled technologies globally, adding that India is one of the world’s most dynamic corrugated markets. Graphite India noted that the solution aligns with its focus on introducing high-impact, efficiency-driven innovations to Indian industry.

The collaboration supports broader sustainability goals by helping energy-intensive sectors optimise consumption and reduce emissions. Both companies emphasised their shared commitment to advancing industrial modernisation and delivering value-enhancing technologies to India’s manufacturing ecosystem.
