Itaconix PLC (AIM:ITX, OTCQB:ITXXF) CEO John Shaw talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company’s record first-half revenue performance, growth drivers, and outlook as it enters 2026 with strong momentum. Shaw highlighted that Itaconix has delivered its third consecutive record half-year, with revenues rising 59% year-on-year to exceed $10 million for the first time, marking a major milestone for the specialty ingredients company. He said the result reflects years of development work to commercialise a fundamentally new class of chemistry focused on odour-neutralising and scale-inhibiting ingredients. Shaw explained that demand is being driven by customers seeking safer, high-performance, and sustainable solutions across multiple consumer product categories, including automatic dish detergents, laundry detergents, pet products, and carpet cleaning. He noted that Itaconix PLC’s ingredients are plant-based, non-persistent in the environment, and often reduce production costs for customers while improving cleaning performance. “What’s really changed,” Shaw said, is that the company now has “a strong balance sheet from our successful fundraise in 2023,” enabling it to build a broader customer base that recognises the value of its technology. He added that improved customer engagement and visibility have also contributed to accelerating adoption, particularly for the company’s scale inhibitor products. Looking ahead, Shaw said Itaconix PLC is well-positioned operationally, with production capacity in place to meet demand through at least 2027, supported by ongoing investment at its Stratham facility. While he does not expect to repeat last year’s growth rate, Shaw believes the company will continue to grow strongly, stating that “2026 is going to be another milestone year for us” with a robust pipeline of customer projects.
