TOMI to Acquire Graphite Producer Carbonium Core in $120M Deal

Event summary

  • TOMI Environmental Solutions has signed a letter of intent to merge with Carbonium Core, a U.S.-based producer of nuclear-grade graphite.
  • The merger will result in Carbonium Core becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of TOMI.
  • Carbonium Core stockholders will receive 19.99% of TOMI’s outstanding shares and newly created preferred stock.
  • The enterprise valuation of Carbonium Core is set at $120 million, pending due diligence.
  • The deal is expected to be finalized in Q2 2026, subject to stockholder approval and customary closing conditions.

The big picture

TOMI's acquisition of Carbonium Core represents a strategic pivot into the advanced materials market, driven by reshoring initiatives and geopolitical concerns surrounding critical mineral supply chains.
