When we did our ‘meet the team’ videos, the last question we asked was what is a product you cannot live without… here is Alex our design director’s answer 👀

What product products can you not live without?

Team npd studio are visiting The Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre in Manchester!

Did you know Graphene was discovered in Manchester AND is Nobel Prize-winning?!

It’s quietly transforming how materials perform across almost every industry!

When introduced into other materials as a 2D additive, it can make them stronger, lighter, more flexible, more thermally conductive - without adding meaningful weight. It doesn’t replace materials, it supercharges them.

And it’s showing up everywhere:
Aerospace - lighter structural components, wing skins at half the weight.
Automotive - stronger, more flexible materials for lightweighting.
Energy - next-generation batteries and supercapacitors. Construction - graphene-enhanced concrete with significantly improved strength. Electronics - faster, thinner, more efficient devices.

The team at the GEIC are doing extraordinary work

We’ve been part of something there. Can’t show you yet - but we will soon.

For now, here’s a glimpse into what’s happening at one of the most exciting facilities we’ve ever walked into.
