Graphite Innovation & Technologies

GIT is focused on providing innovative and most sustainable smart coating solutions for the shipping industry - we use nanotechnology to make smart and environmentally friendly paints for constantly moving vessels to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The company has several ocean-going ships utilizing the technology and getting ready to ramp up production worldwide. GIT offers a full suite of marine coating systems for seafaring vessels. As a trusted partner in unlocking peak vessel efficiency, our innovative marine coatings help ship operators save money by reducing fuel consumption and GHG emissions. Our products are designed to be the most sustainable marine coatings in the world. Unlike many marine coatings, we do not rely on leaching chemicals and other harmful substances to improve fuel efficiency. Our coatings are unique in that they are hydrophobic and extremely hard, which prevents marine life from adhering to the hull surface, thus reducing drag as the vessel cuts through the water. GIT competes in the global marine coatings market and has positioned itself as a disruptor in the industry. This is driven by our passion for innovation and change as we push towards a more sustainable future for the maritime industry.
