$BURU -NUBURU and Tekne Begin Production of GRAELION Platform for Ukraine, Launching Phase 1 Revenue
Prototype Enters Manufacturing as Program Moves into Execution with €5–10M Initial Revenue and Visibility Toward €80–120M Steady-State
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a dual-use Defense & Security platform company focused on non-kinetic effects, directed-energy technologies, electronic warfare and software-orchestrated defense systems, today announced that its Ukraine initiative with Tekne S.p.A. (“Tekne”) and Engineering Bureau “BERYL” LLC (“Beryl”), an established Ukrainian industrial company actively producing and supplying vehicles to Ukrainian military forces, has entered the production phase under an executing industrial program supporting Ukraine deployment activities.
Following the execution of the strategic cooperation agreement, the initiative has advanced into active manufacturing, with the first GRAELION tactical prototype entering the production line, as formally certified by Tekne in an official industrial progress declaration dated March 17, 2026.
Transition to Executing Program
The advancement into production marks a clear transition from structured agreement to executing industrial program and initiates contract-linked revenue activities associated with prototype manufacturing, qualification, and initial deployment. The program is aligned with Phase 1 revenue objectives in the €5–10 million range and provides visibility toward scaled deployment as production ramps.
The program builds on established operational and industrial foundations. GRAELION vehicles are already deployed in Ukraine with the State Emergency Service (DSNS) for demining operations, while an existing military-grade configuration has been commercialized in Italy. Beryl serves as an active Ukrainian industrial supplier supporting defense requirements.
Execution Framework
First GRAELION tactical prototype entered into production line.
Industrial supply chain and manufacturing protocols validated.
Platform configured for Ukrainian military qualification.
Coordinated execution with in-country industrial partner Beryl.
Visibility toward €80–120 million scaled program potential.
NUBURU participates in the program through a structured economic and governance framework that includes pricing and margin participation, capital coordination, and potential integration of higher-margin non-kinetic and software subsystems. The Company also maintains a 2.9% equity position in Tekne, with potential expansion subject to Italian Government authorization under Golden Power regulation.
This structure enables NUBURU to participate in program economics as production scales while supporting its broader Defense & Security platform strategy.
Management Commentary
Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman and Co-CEO of NUBURU, stated, “The entry into production marks the transition from structured agreement to executing program. This is now an operational industrial initiative aligned with Ukraine deployment requirements and supported by a validated supply chain.”
Dario Barisoni, Co-CEO of NUBURU and CEO of Nuburu Defense LLC, added, “We have achieved alignment across engineering, production, and local industrial capabilities. The program is progressing through a defined qualification and deployment pathway with coordinated execution.”
Strategic Outlook
With production underway, validated industrial readiness, and revenue-generating activities initiated, NUBURU continues to transition from strategic framework development to execution of defense programs with real-world deployment and scalable revenue potential.
