Analysis · ZTEK · Industrial Applications And Services
The ZenGUARD air filtration business has just converted a standing offer into actual revenue-generating orders from the Government of Canada, while the Albany graphite project achieved a new purity record of 99.99985% carbon — exceeding the 99.9992% figure that underpinned the US$3.85B PEA. Both developments strengthen the commercial case for the company's two core platforms at a time when it has no revenue and recently lost its Nasdaq listing.
