Frontier IP investee Dekiln hits key Eralith milestone

Episode Summary

Dekiln CEO Dr Aled Roberts talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s first commercial installation of its sustainable bio-based product, Eralith, marking a key step from laboratory innovation to real-world deployment. The tiles are being installed at Sustainable Ventures spaces in Manchester, part of the £1.7 billion innovation district hub known as Sister. Dr Roberts described the installation as “a quite significant milestone for us,” emphasising how it validates Dekiln’s technology under commercial conditions. He added that the project demonstrates the company’s transition “from the lab to commercial scale commercial deployment.” Alongside this, Dekiln has moved into new premises in the heart of Manchester — a facility three times larger than its previous location. The expanded space will allow the company to increase production capacity by about twentyfold, supported by larger-scale equipment to meet growing demand. Dr Roberts also highlighted support from the Henry Royce Institute and collaboration with the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) as part of a successful grant project aimed at scaling up production.
