Redox Ltd (ASX: RDX, ‘Redox’ or ‘the Company’), a leading global distributor of chemicals, ingredients, and raw materials, is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Molekulis Pty Ltd and Molekulis Limited (‘Molekulis’), a recognised leader in Transformer and Specialty Oils.

This acquisition, aligned with Redox’s inorganic growth strategy, enhances the Company’s client base across Australia and New Zealand, adds valuable supplier relationships with key specialty oil manufacturers, and expands the product range available to Redox’s loyal customers. It also strengthens Redox’s value proposition, allowing us to better meet the needs of clients across both existing and new industry sectors.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Philippe Reboul, Molekulis has established itself as a specialist in the supply of Transformer Oils — a critical component in the energy production, transmission and distribution sector. Headquartered in Brisbane, the company also operates a transformer oil regeneration plant in New Zealand. Molekulis recorded approximately A$27 million in sales revenue in 2024.

Philippe Reboul, Managing Director of Molekulis, commented:

“I’m very grateful of what the Molekulis team has built over the years and the strong relationships we’ve developed with our customers and suppliers. Joining Redox is a powerful next step for the business — their scale, resources, and the strong values we share will open up new opportunities for our customers while maintaining the high level of service and expertise they’ve come to expect. I’m excited to see Molekulis grow as part of the Redox team and confident this move will create lasting value for everyone involved.”

Raimond Coneliano, CEO & Managing Director of Redox, added:

“Molekulis is a business we’ve long respected, and we’re thrilled to welcome Philippe and his team to Redox. This acquisition strengthens our technical expertise and broadens our product offering — particularly in the power industry, as well as the lubricants, rubber, and bitumen sectors. We’re especially excited about Molekulis’ regeneration plant in New Zealand, which enables us to play a bigger role in the circular economy by giving used transformer oil a second life through careful reprocessing and helping reduce waste.”

Transaction Details and Transition Arrangements

A Share Sale Agreement was executed on 29th of April 2025, with completion on the 30th of April 2025, with key assets of Molekulis acquired by Redox as at that date.

Customers and suppliers should continue to engage with Molekulis as usual. Integration plans will be communicated in due course.

Redox, in partnership with the Ciantar family (prior owners of Auschem), is proud to announce a generous donation of $50,000 to Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation (SCHF). This joint contribution will help fund a vital piece of equipment for The Children’s Hospital at Westmead, explicitly benefiting the Grace Centre for Newborn Intensive Care and NICU. 

The donation will provide the hospital with the Sim NewB airway—a groundbreaking tool designed to transform the way doctors and nurses treat newborn babies in their first moments of life.

The Sim NewB airway offers realistic training for newborn airway management, helping medical professionals develop the skills necessary to effectively perform airway procedures with the correct resistance. This will improve neonatal resuscitation and better equip staff to handle critical moments.

Our contribution will help secure the future of sick kids by: 

Redox is honoured to make this donation on behalf of our staff and their families in support of the Western Sydney community. This contribution will also benefit families and babies across the state who are transferred to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead for specialised paediatric care. 

Redox will be acknowledged at this year’s Grace Gala on Saturday, 31 May 2025, 6.30 pm at The Star Event Centre, Sydney. 

At Redox, we are committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. As part of our ongoing efforts to minimise our environmental impact, we are proud to announce that starting March 2025, we have joined Agrecovery to provide a sustainable solution for recycling our product packaging.

About Agrecovery

Agrecovery is a not-for-profit charitable trust that offers New Zealand farmers and growers nationwide programmes for the responsible disposal of unwanted agrichemicals and the recycling of empty containers, drums, IBCs, and small seed, feed, and fertiliser bags. Their mission is to promote sustainable practices and improve environmental outcomes for rural communities by ensuring farm plastics are properly recovered, recycled, and reused.

What is Product Stewardship?

Product Stewardship is a proactive approach where manufacturers, brand owners, importers, and retailers take responsibility for reducing the environmental impact of their products. This extends beyond recycling—it encompasses the entire lifecycle of a product, from its design and use to its eventual disposal.

By embracing a circular economy model rather than a linear “make, take, and waste” approach, we can significantly reduce waste. Redox has committed to this initiative by supporting Agrecovery’s voluntary Product Stewardship Scheme, ensuring our packaging is collected and recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.

Redox Bags Now Accepted for Recycling

Through our membership with Agrecovery, we are pleased to offer a more sustainable solution for our customers. Eligible customers can now return certain Redox bags for recycling through Agrecovery’s Small Bags Programme.

This initiative allows small bags (25kg)  Woven PP plastic (number 5) to be recycled, provided they meet Agrecovery’s eligibility criteria.

The following 25kg products have been approved for recycling:

This collaboration reinforces our dedication to reducing plastic waste and supporting a circular economy. By making it easier for our customers to dispose of packaging responsibly, we are taking a significant step towards a more sustainable future.

At Redox, we believe in making a difference through our business and by giving back to communities in need. In 2021, we proudly established a philanthropic relationship with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to support their life-saving humanitarian work worldwide. Through ongoing donations and fundraising initiatives, we are honoured to stand alongside MSF as they provide critical medical care to those affected by war, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and exclusion from healthcare.

A Relationship Rooted in Compassion

Médecins Sans Frontières is an internationally recognised humanitarian organisation that delivers impartial medical aid in over 72 countries. Its teams operate on the frontlines of the world’s most pressing crises, providing emergency care in war zones, responding to epidemics, treating malnutrition, and ensuring that those without access to healthcare receive desperately needed assistance.

Redox’s commitment to MSF is more than just financial; it’s about aligning with an organisation that shares our values of integrity, compassion, and action. By supporting MSF, we empower their teams to respond rapidly to unfolding emergencies, ensuring high-quality care reaches those who need it most.

“We recognise that we must work in new ways to address the unprecedented challenges the world is facing,” said Redox CEO and Sales Manager Raimond Coneliano. “Redox is delighted and proud to be putting our commitment into action, and by supporting the dedicated team at Médecins Sans Frontières, we hope to make a fundamental difference to lives across the globe.”

The Impact of Our Support

The past year has demonstrated just how vital MSF’s work is. In 2024 alone, MSF teams have provided urgent medical aid to communities devastated by conflicts in Gaza and Sudan, responding to increasing humanitarian crises with unwavering dedication. Their teams have remained on the ground, treating patients despite ongoing violence, ensuring that critical medical assistance reaches those caught in the crossfire.

Thanks to continued support from donors like Redox, MSF remains independent and agile—ready to respond wherever and whenever they are needed. As we enter 2025, MSF teams are already hard at work delivering life-saving care, whether assisting refugees fleeing conflict, providing maternal healthcare, or combating the latest disease outbreaks.

One of MSF’s most heartwarming traditions is celebrating the first babies born in their hospitals at the start of the new year.

These new beginnings symbolise hope and resilience—reminders of why we support their mission. Each newborn delivered safely into the world is a testament to the impact of humanitarian aid and the generosity of those who make it possible.

Looking Ahead

Our relationship with MSF is just beginning, and we are excited to continue working together to ensure that urgent medical care reaches those in need. Through regular donations and fundraising programs, Redox remains dedicated to supporting MSF’s extraordinary efforts, helping to bring relief, healing, and hope to the most vulnerable.

To our team, partners, and customers—thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your support makes a difference, allowing MSF to continue their vital work worldwide. We look forward to another year of making a positive impact together.

As recently announced, Redox was named Dow’s channel partner for industrial acrylic additives. This partnership enables Redox to take responsibility for distributing Dow’s advanced polymers, specifically designed to meet the needs of water treatment, mining, and mineral processing applications with unmatched efficiency.

The ACUMER™ range of scale inhibitors comprises Low Molecular Weight Polyacrylic acids and their corresponding sodium salts, offering a phosphorus-free solution for industries adhering to strict discharge water regulations.

Key Benefits of ACUMER™ Polymers:

Let’s look at a few of these in more depth.

Performance of ACUMER™ Scale Inhibitors in Scale Control for Cooling and Boiler Systems.

Cooling circuits are widely used across industries to dissipate heat by circulating water. However, recirculating water tends to accumulate impurities, leading to the precipitation of salts. These salts and other particles can form deposits on equipment surfaces, reducing heat transfer efficiency and increasing operational and maintenance costs.

To combat these challenges, Dow ACUMER™ polyacrylate water-soluble scale inhibitors effectively prevent scale formation in cooling systems, boilers, and evaporators. ACUMER™ Polymers work by dispersing salts to prevent deposition and modifying their structure, making scale less adhesive and easier to manage.

These inhibitors effectively address the particulate matter, including calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, calcium phosphate, silica, silicate, silt, and iron, reducing their ability to stick to heat transfer surfaces and ensuring optimal system performance.

ACUMER™ 2000 Polymer

ACUMER™ 2000 is a high-performance acrylate copolymer specifically formulated to enhance the stabilization of phosphate-based water treatment systems. It also serves as an effective stabilizer in zinc-containing treatment programs. Additionally, ACUMER 2000 efficiently disperses common inorganic particulates and maintains its performance even under pH fluctuations.

Designed for high-alkaline storage stability, ACUMER™ 2000 allows for the convenient formulation of single-package water treatment solutions, making it a reliable choice for long-term use in demanding environments.

ACUMER™ 5000 Polymer

ACUMER™ 5000 is a proprietary multifunctional polymer with a molecular weight of 5000, specifically designed to inhibit silica and magnesium silicate scale formation. It effectively disperses colloidal silica and minimizes magnesium silicate scale buildup on heat transfer surfaces, ensuring optimal system performance.

Key Applications & Benefits:

This combination of scale inhibition, stability, and versatility makes ACUMER™ 5000 a reliable solution for water treatment applications in both cooling circuits and high-pressure boilers.

How can we help?
