Renix Inc and ClonBio Group Ltd are pleased to announce a multi-million dollar investment to accelerate the next stage of Renix’s corporate development.
“As we enter the next phase of our journey, we’re thrilled to have found a such a great partner in the agri-business space,” said Christine Haas, founder and President of Renix. “ClonBio is committed to a vision of dramatic change to methods and sources of production in the agri-food business. They have a seasoned team with a very successful commercialization record. We look forward to working together to transform processes and bring sustainable products to market.”
Having worked together on application development over the past two years, Renix and ClonBio subsidiary Pannonia Bio are cooperating on recovery of alternative protein from spent grain streams, to create a high-purity ingredient for food and feed use.
“Over the past two years ClonBio has been impressed by Renix's technology and, just as much, by its dedicated and talented team, who advanced our soluble protein development efforts by leaps and bounds despite Covid. It is our honour to support the Renix team further with this investment,” said Mark Turley, founder and CEO of ClonBio.
Bioindustrial Innovation Canada and Southwestern Ontario Angels have been supporters of Renix from the company’s early days. As these organizations exit from the company, they are excited to see Renix taking the next steps with this strategic partnership.
“We’re proud of the accomplishments of the Renix team and that we were able to provide early support to the company. Today we’re pleased to see this investment attracted to a Canadian SME in the Cleantech space”, said Renix Board Chair and Investor Representative, Carmen Gicante. “We and our colleagues at BIC will continue to offer any support we can to help Renix grow.”
Renix will continue to pursue opportunities to develop value recovery processes in the agri-food processing space, as well as mining and water management, from the company’s office at The Grove at Western Fair District in London, Ontario.

Renix is proud to be the recipient of the London Chamber of Commerce 2020 Business Achievement Award
Sep 25, 2020
Our company was founded to develop and commercialize an innovative new technology for liquid processing in the resource sectors, whether that’s food, water, minerals, metals, fuels, or chemicals.
We take our platform and use it to help our customers create new processes that solve their problems – innovative new processes that might reduce cost, increase yield, or improve quality. They might also protect the environment, produce clean water, create new food ingredients, and provide sustainable metals. It is our goal to work with our customers to solve their problems and enable resource companies and their communities to thrive together.
On top of that, we are innovating with our supply chain at our new home at the Grove at Western Fair District, where we are currently building production scale equipment.
We are literally innovating every single day - the Innovation Award is very meaningful to our team.
We want to say thank you to our supporters, investors, Board, vendors, partners, and customers from around the world.
We want to say thank you to the London Chamber of Commerce, the event and award sponsors, and all the volunteers who help make the Business Achievement Awards such a wonderful experience. And congratulations to all of the finalists and nominees involved.
And finally I want to say thank you and congratulations to the Renix team – without the team, there is no innovation award for Renix. Thank you all!

Renix Completes New Demonstration Unit
May 22, 2019
After beginning construction in 2018, London, Ontario-based Renix Inc. has successfully developed its RenixUIX™ unit to help provide sustainable solutions to capture, separate, and purify resources for the increasing needs of the global population.
Renix has developed the steady-state RenixUIX™ system utilizing the proven chemistry of ion exchange and delivering it in a newly patented platform, to achieve higher quality industrial liquid separation while minimizing required inputs.
To provide scale-up demonstration and industry acceptance, Renix built a universal fully automated demonstration unit to allow for application configuration across multiple industries. The demonstration unit incorporates full remote monitoring and control, robust 24/7 continuous operations, and modular skid mounted components that industries demand to maximize operational efficiency.
Eduardo Cordova, Vice President of Business Development at Renix, acknowledged that Renix’s project received financial and advisory support from Bioindustrial Innovation Canada has provided, through their Centre for Commercialization of Sustainable Chemistry Innovation program.
The RenixUIX™ unit marks a significant advance in Renix’s commercial growth, advertising itself as the world’s first steady-state ion exchange system that unlocks the chemistry of ion exchange and transforms traditional batch treatment processes into a true steady-state process. RenixUIX™ makes previously unfeasible separations challenges possible and existing applications more efficient and cost-effective.
