La Mirada, California — September 27, 2023 — Greenfield Global Inc., the leading producer, manufacturer and distributor of high purity and specialty alcohols, solvents, and custom solutions, has partnered with REMET Alcohols, Inc. to address the growing demand in California and the Western US for bulk and packaged high-purity alcohol and denatured alcohol. With today’s announcement, Greenfield extends its bulk manufacturing and distribution capability and footprint westward, enhancing supply for the industrial, food, fragrance, pharmaceutical, personal care, and beverage industries in California, Nevada, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Arizona.

“After an extensive search for the right partner to expand our operations west of the Mississippi, REMET Alcohols was the clear choice,” said Howard Field, President and CEO, Greenfield Global. “REMET Alcohols has an amazing team and years of experience meeting the quality and service needs of customers on the West Coast. Their deep expertise in logistics, rail connections and bulk tankage will allow us to satisfy the growing demand in the Western United States. Greenfield will continue to directly supply its customers, while REMET will procure Greenfield ethanol and manage their own clients, simplifying the process for all parties involved.”

Under the agreement, the partnership offers unmatched supply security, distribution capabilities in fast-growing markets, and enhanced efficiency to both REMET Alcohols and Greenfield customers by:

Adding the Greater Los Angeles area to Greenfield’s Connecticut and Kentucky manufacturing portfolio.
Combining REMET Alcohols’, onsite storage, rail, and manufacturing capabilities with Greenfield’s efficient, and reliable end-to-end supply chain oversight for premium ethanol products.
Providing REMET Alcohols’ customers with industry-leading high purity alcohols directly from Greenfield’s distilleries, giving them the confidence in security of supply and quality.

This announcement follows Greenfield’s recent expansion in high-purity alcohol production, boosting its annual output to over 70 million gallons per year across three distilleries.

“This is certainly a win-win because REMET Alcohols’ tried and true bulk and packaged blending and distribution service will be complimented by Greenfield’s gold standard quality in ethanol production, and visa versa.” said John S. Paraszczak, President and CEO at REMET® Corporation. “REMET owes some of its success to long-term relationships and superior customer satisfaction – and we are committed to maintaining these qualities and results in this new partnership with Greenfield.”

Leading ethanol producer’s $160M expansion satisfies growing customer demand and security of supply from three distilleries

Toronto, Ontario — September 11, 2023 — Greenfield Global Inc, a world-renowned manufacturer and distributor of specialty alcohols, solvents, and custom solutions, has successfully completed its 30 million gallon alcohol upgrade at its Johnstown distillery, increasing the company’s overall production of high-purity alcohol to nearly 70 million gallons per year. With the expansion project now commissioned and validated, the distillery is exceptionally efficient at producing high-purity alcohol, and has begun to ship both 190 and 200 proof alcohol to customers by tanker trucks and rail cars, as well as to its downstream blending and packaging facilities in the US, Canada and Europe.

“Global demand for our high-purity alcohols in key industries including life sciences, food, flavors and fragrances, personal care, and beverage alcohol has exceeded our production capacity for the past few years,” stated Howard Field, President and CEO, Greenfield Global. “Our 30 million gallon production increase will ensure that we can supply our customers through their growth plans with the highest quality standards for which Greenfield is known. Moreover, considering the critical part we play in hundreds of our customers’ supply chains, the expansion upgrade ensures even greater security of supply across our three high-purity alcohol distilleries – especially at a time when older, less economically viable distilleries in the industry are shuttering.”

Greenfield’s Johnstown distillery upgrades include:

An industry-leading, high-efficiency 30-million-gallon beverage and pharmaceutical-grade alcohol distillation system providing customers with the purest ethanol commercially available.
A state-of-the-art GMP laboratory assuring consistent levels of product quality and controls.
Robust railcar and tanker truck load-outs allowing for pure and blended production at the time of filling, and ensuring shipments get to customers as efficiently as possible.

In concert with Greenfield’s downstream blending and packaging facilities in the U.S., Canada and Europe, the Johnstown high-purity alcohol upgrade will enhance the company’s delivery logistics throughout the United States and Canada, as well as by vessel world-wide.

“Our unique “chain of custody” model allows us to trace the delivery of our alcohol to customers via rail, tanker truck, iso-containers, totes, drums, pails, biobags and more, right back to the load of corn that was delivered to our distilleries which is important to many of our customers.” Field continued. “Greenfield has built a reputation for product quality and consistency, and the Johnstown upgrade will enable us to satisfy the growth of our customers, while adding new customers as well.”

Greenfield extends its thanks to the Government of Ontario for their support of the project through the Ontario Together Fund (OTF) of the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation, and Trade (MEDJCT). Since its establishment in 2008, Greenfield’s Johnstown distillery has been integral to the economic growth and development of the local community. The upgrade has created 19 full-time jobs, plus many indirect jobs in the Johnstown community, and is a further commitment to Greenfield’s 15+ years of support for the local economy.

In today’s dynamic and ever-evolving global supply chain landscape, Greenfield is your steadfast partner, dedicated to delivering not just products, but comprehensive solutions and knowledge that empower your success.

At Greenfield, we understand that your journey in the supply chain is not just about procurement; it’s a collaborative endeavor where we strategize, innovate, and navigate challenges together. Your challenges are our challenges, and your successes are our successes. We are fully invested in your growth and prosperity.

Empowering Your Success Through Knowledge and Solutions

In the complex tapestry of today’s supply landscape, information holds immense power. We are unwavering in our commitment to arming you with the latest industry knowledge and insights, because when you are well-informed, you can make confident decisions, foresee market shifts, and remain at the forefront of industry trends.

Before delving into our role in supporting your supply chain needs, let’s take a high-level look at the current supply chain landscape:

The global supply chain landscape remains balanced in terms of domestic supply and demand, but caution prevails as customers exercise prudence to avoid overstocking, learning from past demand miscalculations. Rising fuel and energy costs, notably the consistent upward trend in diesel prices, introduce added complexity.

Carriers in the trucking market hold optimism for a robust recovery by 2024. Signs of seasonal activity and merchandise restocking are apparent; however, customers proceed cautiously, mindful of potential uncertainties. Smaller carriers grapple with financial challenges amid rising rates and inflation pressures. While contract rate renewals for the coming year are uncertain, significant declines are not expected.

On the global economic front, the US economy maintains its robustness, marked by strong GDP growth. However, a tight job market is expected to persist until 2024. In contrast, the Eurozone faces challenges, with Germany officially in a recession. China’s economic rebound falls short of expectations, particularly in sectors like industrial production. Japan’s economic recovery proceeds steadily, while Latin America anticipates subdued growth.

In terms of inflation, a notable surge in US CPI is primarily attributed to supply-demand imbalances. Core services CPI remains elevated, and producer prices (PPI) see a substantial uptick, especially for goods. Indicators within the PPI pipeline suggest growing demand.

The $2M Government of Canada investment is advancing company’s “waste-to-fuel” technology

Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s leading alcohol, solvent and biofuels producer, yesterday welcomed Mr. Francis Drouin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, to Greenfield’s sponsored laboratory space at the University of Alberta to share progress on a $2M agricultural waste-to-clean fuel project funded by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada under the Agricultural Clean Technology (ACT) Program, Research and Innovation stream.

Greenfield, in close collaboration with the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Engineering, is leading the development of a new clean technology that will convert agricultural waste into renewable diesel fuel. Promoting a circular agriculture economy, this technology has the potential of reducing the overall greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural and transportation sectors by up to 90% when compared to fossil-based diesel fuel.

“Climate change solutions not only help the environment but can also improve the economy and support producers – and projects like this are a great example,” said Francis Drouin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, on behalf of the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau. “This new technology will convert agricultural waste to renewable fuel, add value for producers and boost the energy industry, all while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”

“Our R&D collaboration with the University of Alberta to produce drop-in, renewable diesel fuel from organic waste will allow farming, trucking, construction, standby generators, and other fossil fuel intensive sectors to decarbonize, which is directly aligned with Canada’s climate action plans and helping Canada achieve net-zero emissions by 2050”, said Howard Field, President and CEO of Greenfield Global. “Greenfield has been decarbonizing Canada’s light-duty vehicle emissions for decades, producing fuel ethanol from industrial corn that is blended into gasoline. We are dedicated to the ongoing development of state-of-the-art technology with our partners in research, agriculture, and industry and we appreciate the Government of Canada’s shared commitment and support for innovative and important climate technologies.”

Additional benefits of Greenfield’s technology include being feedstock agnostic and utilizing a spoke-and-hub approach to the collection of feedstocks, production of biocrude, and the refining of biocrude into renewable diesel.

Three key contributors that supported Greenfield’s funding submission process and helped make this project possible were the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture, and the Grain Farmers of Ontario. The collaboration of all parties involved will contribute to the successful commercialization of this technology which will produce a sustainable liquid fuel, improve waste management and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Business View – Greenfield Global Feature

Greenfield Global is providing the life sciences sector with greater volumes of custom solutions under the Pharmco brand, to enhance supply chain confidence and reduce production lead times.

Brookfield, Connecticut (September 28, 2022) – To meet the increased demand from biopharma customers, Greenfield Global is tripling its production capacity for ethanol blends with water-for-injection (“WFI”) at its Brookfield, Connecticut plant from a 2,000 gallon tank to a total capacity just shy of 6,000 gallons.

Greenfield’s increased capacity provides greater confidence in supply chain security and increases production lead times for the laboratories, medical device manufacturers, and both large and small molecule pharmaceutical companies served around the globe. Under the Pharmco brand, Greenfield offers access to a larger volume of these ready to use solutions, helping customers improve their own manufacturing efficiencies as they can rely on Greenfield to quickly meet the demand to make the product they need to their exact specifications.

In addition to blending Greenfield’s USP and World Grade ethanol with WFI, the company also has the capability to blend additional custom solutions used in chromatography resin cleaning, storage, and regeneration in any package size or format required by customers – pails, drums, totes, and single-use containers.

“In medicine and life sciences, innovation happens fast, and the stakes are high.

The pharmaceutical industry depends on suppliers to provide the best available high-purity solvents & solutions, specialty chemicals, and bio-based ingredients to help people live better and longer. For over 10 years, Greenfield Global has provided a customized level of quality and service that small suppliers can’t replicate, and large suppliers can’t react to as we control the process from end-to-end: from order receipt, to manufacturing to delivery.

NII to explore potential for hydrogen demonstration plant in Bruce County

(Port Elgin, Ontario) The Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII) has launched a new study into the role of nuclear power in supporting a growing hydrogen economy. The study will be the first of its kind in Canada to evaluate the technical viability and business case for hydrogen production from emissions-free nuclear power.

Work on the study will be led by Arcadis, supported by NII and project partners Bruce Power and Greenfield Global.

“Hydrogen is poised to play a key role in a net-zero future,” said David Campbell, Director of NII’s Bruce Power Centre for Next Generation Nuclear. “This project will provide a unique exploration of how nuclear power can provide the clean, affordable hydrogen that Ontario will need to continue decarbonizing our economy.”

The project continues the Centre’s research into the potential for hydrogen production and use in Ontario. Hydrogen holds remarkable promise as a source of clean energy with diverse applications and is projected by industry observers to become an increasingly important energy resource in the coming decades. This study will investigate the viability of a local pilot project to demonstrate the economics of the technology, in preparation for the rapid growth of the hydrogen economy.

The study builds on other local work, such as that done through the Bruce Innovates project, to explore the significant benefits a hydrogen project could bring to the region. These benefits include new export opportunities, new trade partnerships between local vendors, and the creation of high-paying jobs. Governments at all levels will also benefit from the study as they execute their own hydrogen strategies.

Bruce County is well positioned to advance the hydrogen economy due to its existing energy expertise, geographic advantages, and natural resources. This project will be another step in building the region’s reputation as the Clean Energy Frontier—a place where government and private sector alike forge the path to a net-zero future.

“Arcadis is honored to conduct this study on behalf of the Centre and its partners, and to play a part in driving green energy forward,” said Dr. Doug Chambers, vice president at Arcadis. “Hydrogen is a key component in designing sustainable solutions and exploring its potential will help propel a larger transition toward a net-zero emissions economy that works for future generations.”

“As the leading producer of low-carbon transportation fuel in Canada, we are delighted to explore the potential of making clean hydrogen in a joint venture with Bruce Power, which provides clean, low-cost electricity to every third home, hospital and business across Ontario,” said Howard Field, CEO of Greenfield Global. “Our two companies have been neighbours and proud corporate citizens of Bruce County for over 30 years.”

Ontario’s boost to ethanol blending will mean lower greenhouse gas emissions and more affordable fuel for consumers in the province.

Toronto, Ontario, November 26, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., Ontario’s first and one of Canada’s largest ethanol producers, today applauded the Ontario government’s announcement of increased requirements for renewable content in regular-grade gasoline from 10 to 15 percent by 2030.

Ethanol is a clean and renewable fuel that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by as much as 60 percent compared to gasoline. Ethanol is already blended in most of the province’s gasoline and provides motorists with an affordable, environmentally friendly, high-performance fuel. As countries worldwide look at increasingly ambitious ways to protect environmental health and build a better future, ethanol provides a smart and ready solution for transportation fuels.

“More than ever, economies need quick and practical measures to lower the greenhouse gases that are responsible for climate change and threatening the health of our planet,” said Greenfield Global President and CEO, Howard Field. “Boosting ethanol content in gasoline is a proven, rapid, and economically sustainable way to fight climate change while spurring jobs, supporting the agriculture community and fostering innovation.”

These changes fulfill a commitment that is part of the Made-In-Ontario Environment Plan and will contribute to the province’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent by 2030.

“Ethanol plays a critical role in energy policy around the world for good reason,” said Jean Roberge, EVP & Managing Director of the Greenfield Global Renewable Energy Business Unit. “Ontario’s move to greener and cleaner gasoline will cut greenhouse gases from transportation, support local jobs and farms, and help drivers save money at the pump – it’s a solution for today and well into the future.”

The former Corn Plus facility in Winnebago, Minnesota, is Greenfield’s first fuel ethanol asset in the United States

Toronto, Ontario, October 21, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s largest fuel ethanol producer, announced today that it will acquire the 182 million litre (48 million gallon) per-year Corn Plus ethanol facility in Winnebago, Minnesota.

The Corn Plus facility makes ethanol for the purpose of blending into gasoline and has been shuttered since September 2019.

“This ushers in a new era of North American production for Greenfield,” said Howard Field, President & CEO of Greenfield Global.” We are excited to join producers in the United States in making the world’s cleanest and most accessible biofuel. The addition of Corn Plus to our biofuels portfolio complements our strategy of being a leading producer of renewable energy solutions and enhances our ability to service low-carbon fuel markets more effectively and efficiently.

”North American fuel markets will continue to operate as an increasingly interconnected supply chain given the market challenges of COVID-19, coupled with the recent coming into force of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement(USMCA). Greenfield Global’s addition of a United States based-corn ethanol facility provides the Company with a larger and more diverse geographic footprint from which to operate. Greenfield Global purchased the Corn Plus facility in a receivership process. The Company expects to produce fuel ethanol and its co-products once a startup plan is established.

“We look forward to welcoming the Corn Plus team to Greenfield, re-establishing a market for Minnesota corn growers, and working closely with the community to bring jobs back to Winnebago.” said Jean Roberge, EVP & Managing Director of the Greenfield Global Renewable Energy Business Unit. “We are confident that our best practices, paired with the technology adaptation experience of our combined staff, will produce Greenfield’s industry-leading, low carbon intensity biofuels from this facility.

”Roberge added, “Biofuels are the key to lowering greenhouse emissions in the transportation sector. This investment in our ethanol portfolio, combined with the expansion of our biorefinery in Varennes, Quebec, will significantly increase our ability to supply renewable fuel needed to help preserve the health of our planet.”

Douglas Dias, Greenfield Global’s VP Sales and Market Development, stated “Greenfield’s fuel ethanol customers will benefit from this new supply of low carbon
ethanol. We are excited to offer our existing customers more resilience and broader supply options to meet their increasing demands, while serving new fuel customers in the United States.”

Greenfield to produce 100 Million Litres per year of US Pharmacopeia Grade (USP) alcohol at its facility in Johnstown, Ontario.
Johnstown, Ontario, October 16, 2020 /[CNW]/ — Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s largest producer of fuel ethanol, and a global leader in the production high-purity specialty alcohols & solvents, announced today that it will begin producing 100 million litres per year of various grades of high purity alcohols, including USP grade, at its 250 million litre per year ethanol facility in Johnstown, Ontario before the end of 2021.

The global pandemic has created an unprecedented demand for both USP Grade alcohol-based hand sanitizers and surface disinfectants which are used to reduce the spread of infectious disease. In April, Greenfield responded to this unprecedented surge in customer demand and maximized production of high-purity alcohols. However, the growth in demand for Greenfield’s high purity alcohols and solvents, both domestic and abroad, warranted a significant expansion in production capacity.

“Expansion of our Johnstown facility is an exciting milestone for Greenfield, a considerable step forward in our domestic supply capacity, and will greatly enhance our capabilities to serve our customers, including Life Science and pharmaceutical companies that are experiencing unprecedented demand for their products,” said Greenfield President and CEO, Howard Field. “This expansion empowers us to increase our supply of high-purity, USP Grade alcohol and produce additional volumes of the highest quality products serving the Canadian market, as well as our newly opened European packaging facility and hub in Portlaoise, Ireland.”

Greenfield is widely regarded as one of the leading high purity alcohol producers worldwide, with distributors in more than 50 countries, as well as five downstream packaging and blending facilities in Canada, the United States, and Europe. Each year, more than 2,500 customers rely on Greenfield’s 30-year history of quality, consistency, and security of supply. The addition of its 100 million litre high purity alcohol distillation system at the company’s Johnstown plant will be accompanied by significant investments in its finished product storage and segregation tanks, a new GMP laboratory, additional rail capacity, and other enhancements related to securing various food and pharmaceutical grade certifications. Moreover, the addition of this high purity alcohol production capacity in Johnstown will allow for more efficient logistics for many of its customers in North America and Europe.

Greenfield received a $2.5 million grant under the Ontario Together Fund (OTF) of the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (MEDJCT) to support the production of additional volumes of high-purity alcohols required by healthcare and medical professionals, life sciences and pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as front-line workers across the province.

The construction project begins this month and is expected to take 12 months. It will create many jobs, including construction, administration, plant operations, and ancillary jobs in the Johnstown, Prescott, Brockville, and surrounding area. It will also be creating a new domestic market to boost the local agricultural economy. Greenfield’s ongoing fuel ethanol demand will be met with increased production at its biorefinery in Varennes, Québec.

“Agility, collaboration, and innovation have always been in Greenfield’s DNA,” continued Field. “Our team in Johnstown worked around the clock with Health Canada to produce a substitute for USP alcohol that would satisfy the demand in the short term. Now, with this expansion, we will continue to do our part to keep Ontarians, and Canadians protected, healthy, and safe.”

Portlaoise 28^th July 2020 Greenfield Global Inc., a global leader in the production of ethanol, high-purity speciality alcohols, and solvents, will soon commence the commissioning phase of their new EU Manufacturing Headquarters in Portlaoise, Ireland.

The new 3,800 sq. metre facility, the company’s first outside North America, will produce Pharmco branded products serving Life Science customers globally and is located on IDA Ireland’s Business and Technology Park. This new facility will result in 75 new jobs over the next five years, while 170 constructions jobs were created during the build and fit-out phase of the project.

Project financing is provided by Allied Irish Banks and is supported by the Irish Government through IDA Ireland.

Greenfield Global, which has its headquarters in Toronto, Canada, has operations in 12 locations across North America, manufacturing and distributing a wide range of products to customers in over 50 countries.

Greenfield Global President and CEO Howard Field said “Greenfield Global has been supplying Pharmco branded mission-critical alcohols, solvents and bio-processing materials to Life Science companies across the globe for more than two decades.

Today, I am very excited to announce that our Portlaoise Ireland plant construction is essentially completed and we are excited to enter the commissioning phase of the facility in preparation to commence the validation program.”

Managing Director of Greenfield Global Ireland Ken Finegan said “This achievement for Greenfield erecting a complex facility with an aggressive timeline in normal settings are something to celebrate and be proud of. The fact that our onsite team, DPS Engineering and all of our contractors had to very quickly change protocol to account for COVID-19, launch and manage a new set of health and safety standards, while still moving this project forward is a feat. All while maintaining Greenfield’s standards of excellence. We are encouraged to move this project to the next phase and will soon be able to service our existing and new customers with Pharmco branded products, including pharmaceutical companies, from Europe and beyond. Greenfield’s manufacturing headquarters in Portlaoise will become a critical part of the Life Science ecosystem in Europe and beyond, especially considering the improvements we can make to globally damaged supply chains caused by COVID-19.”

Minister of State Department of Finance with responsibility for Financial Services, Credit Unions and Insurance Sean Fleming TD. who attended today’s announcement, said: “This investment is a very positive development for the Midlands region and is further evidence of the benefits of locating in the regions outside Dublin where there is access to talent, lower operating costs, and higher staff retention rates. Greenfield Global’s decision to locate their new EU manufacturing headquarters here is not only a sign of the capacity and capabilities that the Midlands provides, but also a sign of Ireland’s expertise and our strong and growing life sciences ecosystem. I would like to welcome Greenfield Global to the area and I look forward to working with them over the coming years.”

CEO of IDA Ireland Martin Shanahan said “I wish to congratulate Greenfield Global on reaching this milestone – the establishment of its EU Manufacturing Headquarters in Portlaoise – which is also Greenfield Global’s first facility outside of North America. Greenfield Global’s presence in the Midlands is of considerable benefit to the economy of the region and enhances Ireland’s vibrant EIT sector. I wish the team here and in North America continued success with the ongoing support of IDA Ireland.”

Greenfield is commencing with its validation program and customer audits starting August 2020 which can be scheduled by contacting Ken Finegan, Managing Director at Ken.Finegan@greenfield.com.

Longhorn has selected Greenfield Global’s Pharmco brand high purity reagent alcohol to quickly distribute its PrimeStore MTM® worldwide.

BROOKFIELD, Conn., June 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics, an innovative molecular tool, assay and vaccine development company, and Pharmco, Greenfield Global’s popular brand of specialty alcohols and high-purity solvents, have combined to rapidly accelerate coronavirus testing and detection which are critical to combating the global COVID-19 pandemic.

In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, most of the COVID-19 testing requires sample collection devices, such as viral transport mediums, that keep the virus alive within the sample and require refrigeration, special shipping and biosafety containment. Unlike standard methods for collecting and transporting samples, Longhorn’s PrimeStore MTM® safely deactivates pathogens at the point of collection and stabilizes RNA and DNA, allowing enhanced point of care and ambient temperature transport for laboratory-based molecular testing and characterization with no need for special containment facilities.

“Safe and robust collection of high-quality samples that can be processed on standard lab benches using conventional qPCR have enabled rapid detection from patients and assisted in combating the global COVID19 pandemic,” said Dr. Luke T. Daum, Chief Scientific Officer at Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics and the inventor of PrimeStore MTM®. “What makes PrimeStore MTM® so important is that once an oral or nasal swab is collected, the viruses and bacteria from the sample are lysed/inactivated, the RNA and DNA are stabilized for safe transport and processing outside of BSL-2/3 laboratories.”

“Formulating solvents that meet our customers’ criteria allows us to help them make incredible products and meet the demands of the market,” said Steve DiBenedetto, Senior Vice President of Sales & Operations. “Our Pharmco branded products are blended and packaged at our GMP-compliant facilities operating under an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System which ensures a high quality, consistent product. Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostic Testing’s innovation is remarkable. We value their trust in our top-quality products, our security of supply, and our reliable supply chain, which allows us to help support millions of critical tests worldwide.” PrimeStore MTM® is an FDA-cleared collection medium for respiratory samples, including SARS-CoV-2 virus and has emerged to become a critical tool in the fight against COVID19.

About Longhorn Vaccines and Diagnostics
Longhorn Vaccines & Diagnostics is an innovative molecular tool, assay and vaccine development company focused on serving unmet critical needs in both developed and developing nations. Longhorn’s core product, PrimeStoreMolecular Transport Medium® (MTM), is a patented, FDA cleared, state-of-the-art ambient temperature molecular diagnostic collection and transport device that can help governments, global health organizations and drug manufacturers improve the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases such as mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) and Influenza. Unlike standard devices for collecting and transporting TB samples, PrimeStore MTM® is the first molecular transport device that can safely deactivate pathogens and stabilize RNA and DNA, allowing enhanced point of care and ambient temperature transport for laboratory based molecular testing and characterization. Longhorn is based in Bethesda, Maryland with the research and development facility in San Antonio, Texas.

Province’s largest ethanol producer says the policy could result in a major expansion of the output of its production in Quebec.

VARENNES, QC, 11 October 2019— Greenfield Global Inc., Canada’s largest ethanol producer and a world leader in high-purity specialty alcohols, welcomed the Government of Quebec’s pre-publication of draft regulations on the minimum volume of renewable fuel in gasoline and diesel fuel. Announced this week, the government’s proposal would set blending thresholds of 10% renewable fuel in gasoline and 2% in diesel fuel by 2021 and increase the thresholds to 15% in gasoline and 4% in diesel fuel, respectively, by 2025.

Jean Roberge, EVP and Managing Director of Renewable Energy commented, “Greenfield applauds the Quebec Government for its ambitious targets and firm commitment to transition the province’s energy. Biofuels are indeed a sector for the future. The Government is demonstrating true leadership on climate change and taking steps necessary to effectively and efficiently increase the use and production of renewable fuels, like ethanol, in the province.”

Greenfield operates the first ethanol plant built in Quebec. In operation since 2007, the Varennes biorefinery is a model for water and energy efficiency and produces the lowest carbon intensity ethanol in Canada, as well as corn oil and distillers’ grain.

The announcement of the proposed renewable fuel regulations in Quebec comes at a time when Greenfield is considering the adaptation of emerging advanced biofuels technologies using non-traditional feedstocks and processes, including cellulosic ethanol, renewable diesel, and renewable natural gas to further reduce the carbon intensity of its biofuels. The first phase of Greenfield’s expansion study was completed in 2018, and the second phase will now commence with engineering, feedstock and environmental studies.

“Provincial renewable fuel mandates, such as Quebec’s proposed regulation, are proven to make meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. It also helps to anchor investment in the region,” continued Roberge. “Quebec’s announcement to increase renewable fuel blending requirements has resulted in the launch of Phase 2 of our feasibility study for production expansion at our Varennes biorefinery.”

Phase 2 will include a thorough review of available feedstocks, engineering assessments, and new technologies. As has always been the case, Greenfield remains focused on job creation, local environment and economic benefits, agriculture, and advancing research in developing the next generation of its biofuel production platform.

Expanded capabilities include Aseptic Filling to support Single Use Biologic manufacturing and temperature-controlled storage for stability programs.

Brookfield, Connecticut September 10, 2019 — Pharmco, a leading international producer of specialty alcohols and high purity solvents, announced an expansion to its packaging facility in Brookfield, Connecticut, through the creation of a bioprocessing wing. The new capabilities include aseptic filling and temperature-controlled storage for stability programs available from 3 to 5 years.

The expansion builds on the facility’s Clean Room which has been in operation since 2009.

Initial portfolio options will focus on assisting customers in outsourcing their resin storage, cleaning, and regeneration solutions, as well as supporting key life science partners. Package sizes are available in single-use and rigid containers ranging from 1L bottles to 1000L bags. Stability programs are available upon request.

This announcement is the latest in a series of investments made by Greenfield Global to grow its expertise in manufacturing, storing, and shipping high-value specialty chemicals and ingredients around the world. In April, the company announced plans to establish a new European manufacturing headquarters in Portlaoise, Ireland.

“We are proud of the role we are playing in helping advancements in bioprocessing, gene therapy, and medical device industry by supplying high-quality, reliable pharmaceutical products, “said Steve DiBenedetto, SVP of Sales and Operations. “Our customers do incredible things, and we will continue to focus our growth in areas that will deliver the maximum benefit to their work and specific needs.”

New Packaging Option Expands High Purity Solvent & Ethanol Portfolio and Reduces Customer Waste.

Brookfield, CT, 2^nd April 2019— Pharmco, a brand of Greenfield Global, today announced it has expanded its portfolio options to include Stainless Steel Pressurized Vessels at the company’s Brookfield, CT, USA facility. This new portfolio option further strengthens Pharmco’s unique production space, improves chemical supply chain and quality control systems, and allows customers to reduce their raw material waste.

Each fleet is dedicated to a customer and ensures a consistent and reliable supply of material reducing supply chain risk. The tightly enclosed system reduces the potential for product contamination and the pressurized environment is perfect for making custom formulations capable of meeting the most stringent custom specifications.

Pharmco’s steel fleet options carry an 8-10-week start-up time and allow customers to connect directly to a research or manufacturing process; shortening workflow throughput time. It also saves time associated with repeat solvent testing and rinsing bottles leading to reduced expenses associated with disposing of hazardous materials.

“Greenfield is constantly innovating and strives to help our customers do the same,” said Greenfield Global President and CEO Howard Field. “These fleets will help our customers make their business more efficient while reducing their environmental impact. This is especially valuable when it comes to high volume, high-quality, research and development.”

“The pressurized fleets should come as welcome news to our customers in life sciences, who have been asking for this option. For the first time, customers can purchase pure ethanol in a pressurized fleet, while also receiving dedicated sales rep support on their ACS/USP, HP/LC, and LC/MS returnable fleet demands,” said Steve DiBenedetto SVP of Sales and Operations.

The pressurized fleets are available immediately for Pharmco’s full solvent portfolio including multiple grades of Pure and Denatured Ethyl Alcohol, Acetone, Acetonitrile, Activator, Cap A, Cap B, Deblock, Dichloromethane, Dimethylformamide, DMSO, Ethyl Acetate, Methanol, MTBE, N-Heptane, n-propyl Alcohol, Oxidizer, Piperidine 99%, Pyridine, Reagent Grade Alcohol, THF and Toluene. Custom blending and testing is also available upon request.
