Bioform Technologies

Founded in 2021, Bioform has developed a proprietary method to manufacture plastic alternatives based on wood pulp reinforced hydrogels at high speeds by modifying existing pulp and paper making machinery. The manufacturing process has a low carbon footprint and can produce highly versatile materials to replace a wide range of single use plastics. Bioform has developed both compostable and paper-recyclable films that can be heat sealed or thermoformed depending on the application.

Bioform’s core technology was developed at the University of British Columbia by co-founders Jordan MacKenzie, the company’s current CTO, and Mark Martinez, Professor, Bio-Products Institute, University of British Columbia.

PINPOOLS GmbH

PINPOOLS was founded by two brothers who grew up far away from the world of chemistry. Alexander and Heribert-Josef Lakemeyer lived on a farm in Eastern Westphalia with their two brothers and parents until they started their university education. Both pursued their studies in the field of economics and business administration, Alexander in Cologne and Heribert-Josef in Paderborn. Throughout their courses, they gained important practical experience on semesters abroad and during internships, which helped shape their economic expertise.

While still pursuing their diplomas, the two brothers founded their first company. Lakemeyer Extrusion GmbH now is a successful plastics extrusion. Soon after founding the business, they found out how difficult it can be to manually match supply and demand in the ever-growing and digitalizing market, which finally inspired Alexander and Heribert-Josef to develop PINPOOLS. They came up with the idea of creating an independent B2B platform which connects businesses and automatically matches promising partners in the industry.

The development process of PINPOOLS was a challenging but also exciting time. The two brothers had many approaches as to how they could create a platform which would fit the market’s needs, but somehow it was still not what they were looking for. In late 2016, they finally came up with the innovation that would later be known as PINPOOLS. The key aspects were that the purchaser would publish RFQs which would then be responded to by the sales side via auction. During the whole process, PINPOOLS was only to be used as tool, while the direct contact between sales and purchaser remained untouched. The key market was found to be basic chemicals, as these fluctuate in prices and are in high demand, thus making it the perfect good for an online platform. PINPOOLS finally went online in May 2017.

Now, only six months later, PINPOOLS has all major German suppliers for chemicals onboard, new RFQs are coming in every day and the team around the two brothers is steadily growing. While still expanding, it is important for the PINPOOLS team that the platform remains independent, thus guaranteeing a neutral market place for its users.

In the future, PINPOOLS will steadily grow by including more and more suppliers and purchasers. Also, logistics management and relevant information such as force majeure notifications will be integrated into the platform, hence optimizing the purchasing process even further.

Grandperspective GmbH

With the scanfeld™ system Grandperspective provides the world's first early warning solution for hazardous gases that covers complete industrial sites. Based on our optical sensor units that identify a multitude of chemicals from the distance, we visualize and locate hazardous gas clouds and warn in real time against gas leaks and fugitive emissions.

Grandperspective is a young company rich in experience. Our know-how in the development and application of remote sensing systems has been developed over years of working with plant operators and first responders all over the world. scanfeld™ bundles this knowledge into an innovative solution for the remote monitoring of plants of any size.

The scanfeld™ early warning solution combines a novel detection system with an intelligent software package to form world's first remote monitoring solution that is completely automated. Hundreds of different chemicals are identified from kilometers distance by passive FTIR spectroscopy. Large areas such as production sites, storage or transportation areas are monitored with just a handful of sensor units. Gas leaks are quickly detected and the distribution of hazardous gas clouds is monitored and visualized in real-time.

The fully automated early warning solution is designed for the control room of the plant. It delivers an intuitive visualization of gas clouds and a mapping of hazard zones. It provides additional safety barriers and helps to mitigate the effects of gas release events.
