Last week, Redox brought together its Senior Leadership Team, Executive Committee, and Board for a two-day conference dedicated to strategic planning and leadership development. Throughout the event, participants engaged in thoughtful strategy discussions, explored new opportunities, and strengthened the leadership capabilities that will guide Redox into its next phase of growth.

Following the conference, Redox officially celebrated its 60th Anniversary with an unforgettable evening at The Calyx in the Royal Botanic Garden. The stunning venue provided the perfect backdrop for honouring this incredible milestone and reflecting on six decades of innovation, dedication, and success.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended. Each of you is an important part of the Redox family, and your commitment, passion, and support have helped shape our journey. This milestone belongs to all of us, and we look forward to continuing to build Redox’s success together.

In 2024, Redox conducted an employee engagement survey, which strongly affirmed our culture and the foundations that make Redox a great place to work. The outstanding results earned us a Great Place to Work certification, while also revealing areas for improvement that we are committed to addressing.

This certification was achieved through the valuable feedback provided by our employees, whose insights continue to guide us in making Redox an even better workplace. Their responses helped identify what we do well: a culture built on respect, safety, and opportunity while highlighting where we can grow to further strengthen our people-first approach. Importantly, this year, we have been able to obtain certification across Australia, New Zealand, and North America.

Building on that momentum, we are proud to announce that Redox has now been officially recognised as one of the Great Places to Work for 2025. This achievement reflects both the enduring loyalty of our people and our commitment to creating an environment where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow.

As we strive for excellence, Redox has identified five key priorities that guide our journey:

To explore what makes Redox a truly great place to work, we asked our HR team to share their insights.

Culture & Recognition

What does being recognised as a Great Place to Work mean for Redox, and what do you think helped us achieve this milestone?

Being recognised as a Great Place to Work is a source of great pride for Redox. It reflects the positive culture, strong values, and shared commitment that define who we are as an organisation. This recognition reinforces that our people feel valued, supported, and connected to our purpose.

Our success in achieving this milestone is built on strong foundations, a culture of respect, open communication, and genuine care for our employees. By investing in our people, promoting collaboration, and maintaining a safe and inclusive workplace, Redox has created an environment where individuals can thrive both personally and professionally.

Which of Redox’s values do you believe most contributed to earning this recognition?

All of Redox’s values play an integral role in defining our culture and guiding how we conduct ourselves both internally and externally.

Together, they set the standard for how we collaborate, support one another, and deliver excellence to our customers. It’s this consistent commitment to living our values every day that has helped Redox earn recognition as a Great Place to Work.

Tenure & Retention

What is the average tenure of Redox employees, and what does this say about our culture and employee loyalty?

The average tenure of Redox employees is approximately nine years, which reflects the stability of both our workforce and the business as a whole. This longevity demonstrates the loyalty and commitment of our people, many of whom have grown and developed alongside the company. Our steady growth over time allows employees to see the tangible impact of their contributions, further strengthening engagement, retention, and pride in being part of Redox’s ongoing success.

How do we support career growth and development to encourage long-term commitment from staff?

A significant portion of our workforce has been with Redox for many years, reflecting the company’s ability to foster long-term commitment and loyalty. As our people have grown and evolved with the business, so too have their development needs.

We support career growth by maintaining open and honest discussions about the company’s direction, goals, and future opportunities. This ensures that employees understand how their personal development aligns with Redox’s strategic objectives. Through ongoing training, mentoring, and development initiatives, we help our people build the skills and capabilities needed to progress in their careers while contributing to the organisation’s long-term success.

Benefits & Flexibility

Beyond salary, what extra benefits do employees value most , such as work-from-home flexibility, training opportunities, or other perks?

How do these benefits reflect Redox’s commitment to work–life balance and employee wellbeing?

Redox recognises that our employees are vital to the organisation’s success. By understanding our workforce and its diverse needs, we’ve developed a range of benefits to support both professional growth and personal wellbeing.

Our flexible work arrangements allow employees to manage their personal and professional responsibilities better, promoting a healthy work–life balance. The provision of a paid daily lunch fosters social connection and convenience during the workday, while our Employee Assistance Program offers confidential support for mental health and wellbeing. In addition, our attractive bonus structure rewards dedication and performance, reinforcing a culture of recognition and appreciation.

Together, these benefits demonstrate Redox’s strong commitment to employee wellbeing and maintaining a balanced, supportive workplace.

Community & Giving Back

How does Redox encourage and support staff involvement in charity and volunteer work?

Redox sponsors a paid volunteer day for employees who wish to dedicate their time to a charity of their choice. Some of the organisations our people have supported include:

We are also proud supporters of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and the Chemical Education Foundation, and we host a number of charitable events throughout the year such as the Biggest Morning Tea, Jeans for Genes Day, and R U OK? Day.

Looking Ahead

How do the five priorities; diversity and inclusion, securing the right talent, employer brand, closing the gender gap, and safety, shape Redox’s strategy for the future?

The five priorities form the foundation of Redox’s long-term people strategy.

By embracing diversity and inclusion, Redox cultivates a workplace that values different perspectives and drives innovation. Securing the right talent ensures we continue to attract and retain skilled professionals who can support the company’s growth and adapt to evolving market demands. A strong employer brand enhances our reputation as a preferred workplace, helping us stand out in a competitive industry.

Closing the gender gap promotes fairness and equal opportunity while reflecting our commitment to equity and progressive leadership. Finally, maintaining a strong focus on safety safeguards our workforce and reinforces a culture of care and responsibility.

Together, these priorities position Redox to build a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready organisation that can sustain long-term success.

What challenges do you foresee in maintaining Redox’s reputation as a Great Place to Work as we continue to grow globally?

As Redox continues to expand, one of the main challenges will be maintaining the strong culture and foundations that support our growing and diverse workforce. Rapid growth across regions can make it difficult to ensure consistent communication while upholding our core values and sustaining a high level of engagement across all sites.

Another challenge lies in adapting our policies and benefits to suit diverse cultural expectations, legal frameworks, and market conditions while still delivering a cohesive employee experience. Ensuring leaders across the business embody our values and foster inclusive, supportive environments will also be essential.

To address these challenges, Redox will continue investing in leadership development, transparent communication channels, and initiatives that reinforce our shared culture regardless of location. By doing so, we can preserve what makes Redox unique while evolving into a truly global, people-centred organisation.

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.”

“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.

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.
