BLACKLEAF DNA
Our history
Born from the encounter of innovation enthusiasts and scientists wanting to provide concrete answers to environmental issues, BLACKLEAF was founded in 2018 with the idea that graphene can change the world.
Graphene is a revolutionary material with exceptional properties, that we believe has limitless potential. We worked hard to develop a revolutionary formula and produce the most eco-friendly and responsible graphene. We are aware of the impact of modern industry on climate and we are convinced that sustainable innovation can address the major environmental challenges of our society. Moreover, we are committed to decarbonizing industry and create value and better performance. At BLACKLEAF, everything we do is driven by innovation and we are convinced that it is essential to build a sustainable future.
This mindset leads all our team members on a daily basis and represents one of the keys to the success of BLACKLEAF. Each and every one of us is committed to representing our identity which is defined by our vision, mission, attitude and values.
We want to make BLACKLEAF graphene an essential material for all manufacturers whose objective is to reduce their carbon footprint while improving the performance and competitiveness of their products.
BLACKLEAF makes diversity a force that creates added value.
We are open and attentive to our customers to ensure a high level of service.
Our ambition is to be a world leader in graphene production by 2030 and to become a key strategic industrial player at the service of our customers. We want to embody the success of France’s eco-responsible reindustrialization, while making cutting-edge technologies in France to create value for society.
We will grow in a profitable and sustainable way with the desire to build a better world tomorrow.
At BLACKLEAF we are optimists, guided by action and the perspective to adapt ourselves every day to bring relevant solutions to our partners and customers.
We want to design a world in which progress and environmental considerations are compatible.
