AM Technology

What AM Technology does

AM Technology (trading as Ashe Morris Ltd) is a UK-based specialty equipment manufacturer founded in 2000 and headquartered in Cheshire, England. The company designs and produces the Coflore range of dynamically mixed continuous flow reactors — the Coflore ACR (100 mL bench-top), Coflore ATR (0.35–10 L pilot/production), and Coflore RTR (100 L production) — built around its patented Dynamic Mixing technology that enables multiphasic chemical reactions (liquid-solid, liquid-gas, liquid-solid-gas) which typically cause blockages in conventional continuous reactors.

The company's value proposition is anchored in operational and regulatory economics: cited benefits include 20–30x lower peak power demand versus batch processing, 20–50% lower OPEX, up to 33% less waste, 50% smaller plant footprint, and up to 80% CO2 reductions, positioning the platform against EU regulatory pressure (90% net GHG reduction target by 2040) and European cost disadvantage versus Asian manufacturing. AM Technology holds ISO 9001 certification and was named among the Top 10 Flow Chemistry Companies globally in 2025 by Kings Research.

The business operates three revenue streams: capital equipment sales (Coflore reactor systems), flow chemistry testing services delivered from in-house laboratories, and engineering services for scaling processes from R&D to commissioned continuous flow plants. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with quote-based, multi-year contract pricing, supported by direct email/phone engagement ([email protected]) and an international distributor network. End customers are fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers transitioning from batch to continuous manufacturing, with the company presently operating at a small scale of 11–50 employees and no disclosed external institutional investment beyond a single 2013 raise of approximately $61K.

Core offering

AM Technology designs, manufactures, and supplies the Coflore range of continuous flow reactor systems (Coflore ACR laboratory scale, Coflore ATR pilot/production scale, Coflore RTR production scale) for fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Its reactors use patented Dynamic Mixing technology to handle multiphasic reactions including those with solids, enabling direct scalability from 100 mL bench-top R&D to 100 L multi-tonne production. The company also delivers flow chemistry testing services and continuous flow reactor engineering services from its Cheshire, UK laboratories to support process translation, scale-up, and full plant commissioning.

Product overview

AM Technology offers the Coflore platform of continuous flow reactor systems designed specifically for the fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The product portfolio includes three reactor models—Coflore ACR (bench-top, 100 mL), Coflore ATR (pilot/production scale, 0.35–10 L), and Coflore RTR (production scale, 100 L)—all utilizing patented Dynamic Mixing Technology to handle multiphasic reactions that typically cause blockages in standard continuous reactors. The company complements its reactor systems with Flow Chemistry Testing Services and Continuous Flow Reactor Engineering Services, providing end-to-end support from R&D feasibility testing through to full-scale plant commissioning.

Brands

• Coflore: Coflore is AM Technology's platform brand for continuous flow reactor systems. The range includes Coflore ACR (benchtop laboratory scale, 100 mL reactor volume), Coflore ATR (pilot/production scale, up to 10 L reactor volume), and Coflore RTR (production scale, 100 L reactor volume). The technology uses patented Dynamic Mixing to handle multiphasic reactions including those with solids.

Products and services

• Coflore ACR (Actively Mixed Continuous Flow Reactor) An actively mixed, bench-top continuous flow reactor used by fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers to develop and optimize chemical processes in flow or to produce limited quantities of material. The reactor process channel is divided into ten reactor cells, equivalent to ten CSTRs in series for plug flow.
• Coflore ATR (Advanced Tubular Reactor) A variable volume tubular continuous flow reactor of up to eight reactor tubes in series for plug flow, with reactor volumes from 0.35 to 10 L. Directly scalable from the Coflore ACR using the same active mixing technology to produce material at pilot and production scales for fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
• Coflore RTR (Reactor Production Scale) A 100 L production scale continuous flow reactor capable of processing countless reactor volumes without interruption. Operates as a ten-stage, actively mixed, self-baffling plug flow reactor with the potential to produce many thousands of tons of material per year from a single reactor, serving enterprise fine chemical and pharmaceutical production needs.
• Flow Chemistry Testing Services Flow chemistry testing services delivered at AM Technology's Cheshire, UK head offices, using state-of-the-art laboratories equipped with analytical and process equipment to test and assess customer-specific processes at R&D and pilot-plant scale. A multidisciplinary team designs, sets up, and runs experiments to convert existing batch processes into flow or develop novel flow processes, with submission of a full report on completion.
• Continuous Flow Reactor Engineering Services Engineering services for scaling chemical processes from R&D to multi-tonne scale, provided by an in-house team of chemists, chemical, mechanical and electrical engineers, and project managers experienced in taking chemical processes from R&D through to fully commissioned continuous flow chemical plants for fine chemical and pharmaceutical customers.
