1998 - Maelstrom is founded as a spinoff from TecExec Ltd, a technology incubator business.
2000 - Equity investment secured for launch of the IPM and FDM industrial mixing product ranges worldwide.
2001 - Licensing agreements concluded with partners in the USA and Japan.
2005 - Collaboration with the University of Liverpool and industrial customers into high energy fluid mixing
2008 - Maelstrom builds the Ultra Mixing and Processing Facility (UMPF) at the University of Liverpool with government grant support. Rotational speeds up to 50,000rpm and pressures up to 5000 bar.
2009 - ConCor nano milling machine developed and patented as part of a Technology Strategy Board project with CPI at the Wilton Centre, UK.
2012 - Development of the FDM2 technology as a high performance extension of FDM, using virtual nozzles in the mixing head to provide additional extensional stressing of fluids. This extends performance into the nano-dispersion region for sub-micron deagglomeration of solids.
2015 - Development of a custom processing solution for true inline conching of chocolate masses. Implementation of a system at pilot scale with a key customer.
2017 - Unveiling of a new range of inline powder feeding and blending solutions to solve the upstream processing problems associated with powder/liquid addition to inline processes.
