Growing Industry Acceptance, Recent Safety Innovation Award, and Expanding Commercial Activities Highlight New Milestones for GACW’s Patented Air Suspension Wheel

PHOENIX, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Accelerating its transition from years of research, development, and testing toward broader commercialization, Global Air Cylinder Wheels® (GACW) (https://globalaircylinderwheels.com/), the innovator behind the patented Air Suspension Wheel® (ASW), has received another significant purchase order from a global mining company, providing further evidence of growing customer demand as the company continues building on a series of recent business and industry milestones.

The latest order represents another important step in GACW’s ongoing commercial expansion. This follows its recent recognition of the 2026 People’s Choice Safety Innovation Award at the Queensland Mining Industry Health and Safety Conference in Australia, the opening of its first operational Center of Excellence in Australia, and continued progress in discussions with major mining operators evaluating the company’s non-pneumatic alternative to conventional off-the-road (OTR) mining tires.

The new purchase order comes from a major global mining company operating within GACW’s broader focus region encompassing Australia and Indonesia. The customer and specific transaction details are being kept confidential as the company moves forward with its commercial activities.

For GACW, the order signifies more than another business transaction. It provides further confirmation that years of engineering development and extensive field testing and engagement with mining operators are translating into tangible commercial interest for the company’s wheel technology.

“This is an important milestone for Global Air Cylinder Wheels because it demonstrates that our continued efforts to bring the Air Suspension Wheel into commercial operation are producing results,” said Harmen van Kamp, CEO and Co-Founder of Global Air Cylinder Wheels. “We have spent years developing and validating this technology, working with mining companies and demonstrating its potential to address some of the industry’s most serious safety and operational challenges. Now we are seeing that work translate into growing customer demand and purchase orders.”

GACW has generated $3.2 million in revenue from previous purchase orders, with the proceeds reinvested in research and development as the company advanced its wheel technology.

While research and product development remain ongoing, GACW has substantially increased its emphasis on commercial operations. According to Van Kamp, the company is now directing about 80% of its current efforts toward commercial activities, including customer engagement, procurement discussions, manufacturing readiness, and preparation for operational deployment.

GACW continues discussions with additional major mining companies interested in evaluating and potentially purchasing the Air Suspension Wheel. Recent commercial activities have included visits to multiple mine sites, discussions with prospective customers, and continued work through the technical, operational, and procurement requirements involved in introducing new equipment into active mining operations.

The company anticipates installation of the Air Suspension Wheels associated with the latest purchase order during the first quarter of 2027, subject to customer scheduling and operational requirements.

“Our objective has always been to provide the mining industry with a safer, longer-lasting and more sustainable alternative to conventional tires,” Van Kamp added. “We believe the progress we are making demonstrates that the industry increasingly recognizes the potential of this technology. We still have important work ahead, but we are achieving our milestones and building the commercial foundation for the next stage of Global Air Cylinder Wheels’ growth.”

GACW recently launched a new Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) equity offering through StartEngine (https://www.startengine.com/offering/gacw).
