What Redox Tech does

Redox Tech is a privately held, US-based specialty environmental remediation firm founded in 1995 by Dr. John Haselow and headquartered in Cary, North Carolina. The company provides in situ (non-excavation) treatment of contaminated soil and groundwater, operating across a comprehensive technology stack that combines chemical oxidation (permanganate, persulfate, Fenton's chemistry, ozone), chemical reduction (food-grade zero valent iron), anaerobic and aerobic bioremediation using proprietary carbon substrates (ABC®, ABC+, ABC-Olé, OBC™, SBC™, EOS Pro, EOS 100), specialized bioaugmentation cultures (RTB-1, TCA-20, MDB-1, ENV-425), and mechanical/thermal methods including sonic drilling, soil blending, pneumatic and hydraulic fracturing, and steam-enhanced extraction. Products are blended and formulated in-house for site-specific geochemistry and hydrogeology, a capability the company treats as central to its value proposition.

The business operates a dual revenue model combining product sales of proprietary remediation amendments with turn-key project services delivered from conceptual design through bench- and pilot-scale testing to full-scale implementation. Go-to-market is field sales-led via regional representatives in NC, GA, IL, PA-NJ, and New England, supplemented by channel partners (Carus Corporation in Europe/Middle East/Africa, TerraCorrect in BeNeLux, QM Environmental for EOS products) for international reach. Active customer segments include industrial facilities, DOD and government facilities, and construction/development sites dealing with legacy contamination; representative engagements involve multi-thousand-pound amendment injections and, in the metals-stabilization line, over 100,000 tons of soils treated cumulatively.

The firm has executed more than 900 turn-key projects over nearly three decades, holds a registered patent on the ABC® formulation and multiple trademarks on core products, and in 2023 acquired the EOS Pro product line from EOS Remediation to expand its emulsified vegetable oil platform. In 2024 it formalized a co-marketing partnership with Carus Corporation and launched DualSorb™, a PFAS-binding specialty product, signaling a pivot toward emerging-contaminant remediation. The company remains founder-owned and founder-led with no disclosed outside capital, supports a headcount in the 11-50 range, and reports no public listing or institutional investment ownership signals.
