Agilyx Obtains $25 Million Series C Financing
New investment led by Keating Capital
(firmenpresse) - BEAVERTON, OREGON -- (Marketwire) -- 12/19/11 -- announced today it has secured a new round of Series C funding worth $25 million, spearheaded by new lead investor and joined by existing investors Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, Saffron Hill Ventures, Waste Management, Total Energy Ventures International, an affiliate of Total S.A., Chrysalix Energy Venture Capital and Reference Capital. Agilyx is the first company to economically convert difficult-to-recycle waste plastic into synthetic crude oil.
The Agilyx system processes all types of waste plastic, including those with high levels of non-plastic contamination (food, water, metal, glass), turning it into high-value, synthetic crude oil. They are also the only company with a known refinery off-take agreement in place and crude oil shipments underway.
"This represents another major achievement for Agilyx," said Chris Ulum, CEO of Agilyx Corporation. "This new round of financing will provide us with working capital to fund marketing, business development, the deployment of new projects, but more importantly, allow us to build a war chest to continue to scale our operations and to use when domestic and international expansion opportunities arise. With new partner on board, we continue to address key issues like our insatiable need for oil and the incessant growth of landfills with our solution of turning difficult to recycle plastics to synthetic crude oil."
