Wilmington, Del. – November 10, 2026 -- DuPont (NYSE: DD) has launched four high-flow Electrodeionization (EDI) modules, extending the nominal product-water flow range of its EDI portfolio to 2-8 m3/h for industrial deionized (DI) water and selected ultrapure water (UPW) applications in microelectronics.

New EDI-520, EDI-820, EDI-530 and EDI-830 modules deliver 5 or 8 m3/h

The four plate-and-frame modules are available in two- and three-outlet configurations. They join DuPont's existing EDI-310 module and its spiral-wound technology, which together cover installations from small systems to large-scale industrial projects.

The modules combine DuPont ion exchange resins, ion exchange membranes and electrodes. DuPont says this design helps reduce dilute-chamber pressure drop and electrical resistance. The company cites more than two decades of EDI manufacturing experience.

Vancouver – November 10, 2026 -- Graphite One Inc. (TSXV: GPH; OTCQX: GPHOF) is targeting a final investment decision by April 2027 on a US$80 million, 10,000-tonne-per-year synthetic graphite anode plant in Conneaut, Ohio, with first sales planned for fourth quarter 2028.

Ohio plant is designed to generate revenue before Alaska mining starts

The Phase 1 facility would blend and coat purchased synthetic graphite and other materials into active anode material (AAM) for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and energy storage. It does not depend on ore from the company's Graphite Creek deposit in Alaska, which gives Graphite One a potential revenue path ahead of mine production. The US$80 million initial capital cost is an estimate and will be updated after final engineering.

President and CEO Anthony Huston said, "Ohio lets us pursue customer sales, generating company revenue, before mine production begins."

Dubai – November 10, 2026 -- Robo.ai Inc.

The October figure was driven primarily by subsidiary Quantum Core Capital Limited (QC Capital), which Robo.ai acquired on June 15, 2026.

QC Capital bills enterprise customers per completed delivery order

QC Capital manages operations and delivery for enterprise customers and charges for each delivery order once it is completed and accepted. Robo.ai says the unit has maintained stable operations and service delivery since the acquisition.

The company cautioned that revenue alone does not indicate profitability or operating cash flow. The full-year outlook reflects current management estimates and is subject to change.

Alpplas covers the product lifecycle from toolmaking to box-build assembly

The company says its main competitive edge is handling the entire product lifecycle under one roof. Its capabilities span precision plastic injection mold tooling, injection molding, high-speed SMT electronics production and final box-build assembly. Global OEMs can use these services instead of managing fragmented supply chains.
