Partner Spotlight: Scaling Cleantech Innovation from Lab to Pilot
A Canadian cleantech startup, developing advanced materials for a variety of applications, partnered with Agrisan in October 2024. The aim was to accelerate their journey from lab-scale experiments to pilot production. This innovative company sought a trusted partner to help advance their technology from R&D to commercialization.
The company chose Agrisan for several reasons: our pilot-to-production mixing capability, strong Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) practices, geographic location, and fast, transparent communication. These qualities aligned perfectly with their need for flexibility, speed, and technical expertise during a critical growth stage.
Over the course of the partnership, Agrisan provided toll formulation manufacturing, quality control support, packaging and labeling, and logistics coordination. These services allowed the startup to scale efficiently, meet tight development timelines, and deliver products on schedule. Our Quality Control team performed various quality compliance tests, providing evidence-based data that supported process optimization and product consistency.
One of the greatest challenges the cleantech startup faced was schedule volatility during pilot trials. Agrisan addressed this by reallocating capacity on short notice and aligning production windows with their evolving needs. We also worked side-by-side on the production floor, troubleshooting scale-up variability and ensuring that product properties remained intact during processing. On the logistics side, Agrisan handled carrier bookings, packaging, and shipping documentation to guarantee on-time dispatch and delivery.
The results were clear: improved throughput, reliable scale-up, and consistent on-time shipments. With Agrisan’s support, the startup was able to focus on advancing its technology while relying on us to manage production, safety, and logistics.
“Agrisan has been a flexible, responsive partner. When pilot schedules shifted, they stepped in on short notice, worked with our team to troubleshoot, and coordinated logistics so our batches shipped on time and to spec.” — CEO, Canadian Cleantech Startup
At Agrisan, we take pride in helping innovators overcome barriers to scale and succeed in bringing advanced technologies to market.
