$15.7M Revenue | $55M+ Backlog | $10M CEO Investment: PyroGenesis Executes on Industrial Cleantech Vision

Posted by Brittany McNabb at 1:57 PM on Tuesday, May 27th, 2025

A Bold Signal of Confidence from the Helm

In an era when executive skin in the game is more often promised than proven, PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (TSX: PYR | OTCQX: PYRGF | FRA: 8PY1) stands out. CEO P. Peter Pascali has now personally invested over $10 million into the Montreal-based cleantech company, underlining a rare and compelling alignment between management conviction and shareholder interest.

The move comes amid a string of key developments for the company, including a growing $55 million contract backlog, expanding adoption of its proprietary plasma torch technologies, and recent success in producing fumed silica — a widely used industrial material — in a cleaner, more efficient way. In fiscal year 2024, the company achieved $15.7 million in revenue, marking a 27% increase over the previous year and signaling a strong return to growth across its core business segments.

PyroGenesis, a global leader in all-electric plasma solutions, operates at the intersection of industrial decarbonization, waste remediation, and advanced materials manufacturing. Its systems are being commercialized across sectors ranging from aluminum and defense to additive manufacturing and hazardous waste destruction — including aboard U.S. Navy aircraft carriers.

Strategic Milestones Backed by Founder Commitment

In a recent interview, Pascali addressed his continued investment directly, revealing that beyond recent financings, his total personal contribution now exceeds $10 million.

“I’ve increased my personal holdings over the years and reinvested heavily in the business because I believe in our long-term trajectory. This isn’t just about optics — I’m putting real capital to work,” said Pascali.

While most CEOs receive compensation in options or warrants, Pascali’s recent $5.75 million financing — in the form of a loan to the company — included no common shares. Instead, he accepted warrants as part of the package, providing upside only if the share price increases.

“I benefit only if the company succeeds. That’s the message I want to send — this isn’t about short-term gains; it’s about building something enduring,” he added.

Fumed Silica: A Breakthrough in Clean Production

One of the company’s most exciting breakthroughs is in fumed silica, a versatile material found in thousands of products — from toothpaste and cosmetics to fiber optics and lithium batteries.

In partnership with HPQ Silicon’s subsidiary, Polvere, PyroGenesis has developed a pilot-scale reactor that converts quartz into fumed silica in a single, cleaner, and more energy-efficient step — potentially eliminating hazardous chemicals and reducing energy use versus traditional methods.

Recent independent lab results confirmed that the powder produced in PyroGenesis’ system is indeed high-quality fumed silica, aligning closely with commercial standards used by industry leader Evonik.

Why This Matters:

Traditional fumed silica production is energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. PyroGenesis’ system reduces:

  • Capital and operating costs
  • CO₂ emissions
  • Use of hazardous feedstocks

This could disrupt a high-volume, $1+ billion global industry. Next steps include refining purity and scaling output to 50 tonnes per year — a key commercial milestone. Notably, Evonik has signed an LOI to assess samples, signaling high-level industry validation.

Electrification of Heavy Industry: Plasma Torch Adoption Accelerates

Beyond materials, PyroGenesis is pushing forward on industrial electrification using its patented plasma torch systems. These torches offer a drop-in replacement for fossil-fuel-based burners in high-temperature manufacturing environments like aluminum and steel.

Key Highlights:

  • Plasma torches demonstrated 45% energy savings versus legacy diesel burners
  • In certain trials, melting time decreased by 30%, significantly boosting productivity
  • Major clients include Norsk Hydro, one of the world’s largest aluminum producers, and GE Vernova, with whom PyroGenesis is exploring long-term co-development

These wins are particularly significant because they stem from rigorous, long-cycle evaluations by billion-dollar companies — further proof of the robustness and scalability of PyroGenesis’ technology.

Diversified Business Model Built for Resilience

Rather than relying on a single product or market, PyroGenesis has built a multi-legged platform, delivering solutions across three verticals:

  • Energy Transition & Emission Reduction
  • Commodity Security & Optimization
  • Waste Remediation

This diversified approach offers built-in stability. Should one product line underperform, others can support continued growth — a strategic model that few small-cap companies have executed successfully.

The company’s client base is equally diversified, with customers across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Its business is also insulated from many trade-policy shocks, thanks to flexible global operations and contracts largely denominated in USD or Euros.

Conclusion: A Rare Small-Cap with Vision, Validation, and Velocity

In a market full of speculative narratives, PyroGenesis offers something different: execution.

  • Double-digit revenue growth year-over-year
  • A $55M+ contract backlog with Tier-1 clients
  • Successful lab-to-pilot transition in fumed silica
  • Early adoption of plasma torch electrification
  • And perhaps most important — a CEO with over $10 million of personal capital at stake

PyroGenesis may not yet be a household name, but with multiple industrial revolutions underway — from decarbonization to reshoring of critical materials — it’s a company worth watching.

As Pascali put it, “This is serious work. And we’re just getting started.”

  • The Client’s name will remain confidential for competitive reasons.

MONTREAL, Dec. 16, 2020 — PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that, further to its press releases dated April 1 st and 21 st , 2020, it has signed an additional contract (the “Contract”) with a US based tunneling client (the “Client”) for approx. $1.1MM. The total value of all contracts, including the one announced today, entered into with the Client is in excess of $3.6MM. The Company has received $1.3MM to date under these contracts. The Client’s name will remain confidential for competitive reasons.

Based on these contracts, PyroGenesis will be designing, manufacturing, testing and supplying the Client with a plasma torch tailored specifically for tunneling (the “TT1 Torch”).

PyroGenesis $PYR.ca Board Approves Plan to File Application to #NASDAQ for Q1 2021 Listing $RTN $NOC $UTX $DDD.ca $HPQ.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 9:23 AM on Tuesday, December 8th, 2020
  • Announced today that at the Company’s Board of Directors’ meeting on December 7th, 2020, it was formally approved to move forward with the strategic decision to file an application to list its common shares on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange over the next several days.
  • NASDAQ is the second largest exchange by market capitalization worldwide, and is home to many of the world’s best technology companies.
  • Company has engaged Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP as its US legal counsel to process the NASDAQ listing, and the Company’s external Canadian legal counsel will provide the required oversight during this process.

PyroGenesis Canada Inc. (http://pyrogenesis.com) (TSX: PYR) (OTCQB: PYRNF) (FRA: 8PY), (the “Company”, the “Corporation” or “PyroGenesis”) a Company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes plasma atomized metal powder, plasma waste-to-energy systems and plasma torch products, is pleased to announce today that at the Company’s Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) meeting on December 7th, 2020, it was formally approved to move forward with the strategic decision to file an application to list its common shares (“Shares”) on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange (“NASDAQ”) over the next several days. NASDAQ is the second largest exchange by market capitalization worldwide, and is home to many of the world’s best technology companies.

The Company has engaged Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP as its US legal counsel to process the NASDAQ listing, and the Company’s external Canadian legal counsel will provide the required oversight during this process.

“We are pleased to announce today another significant step towards ultimately enhancing shareholder value,” said Mr. P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “The United States has the largest capital market in the world and, as such, a NASDAQ listing has always been on our radar as one of the many strategies to execute as part of our long-term vision for the Company. On the back of our recent achievements, and our successful uplisting to the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”), the Board decided that the timing was right to proceed with this application. After discussions with our US legal counsel, and a representative of NASDAQ, it was confirmed that the Company meets the standard requirements for a listing. However, there still remains a rigorous application procedure which the Company must pass before a final listing is granted. The listing, barring any delays or objections, is expected before the end of Q1 2021.”

There will not be a concurrent financing associated with this listing nor will there be a reverse stock split.

“A NASDAQ listing is a natural next step for the Company,” said Ms. Rodayna Kafal, VP IR/Comms and Strategic BD. “We believe a NASDAQ listing should, amongst other things, (i) provide additional opportunities to attract institutional and retail investors, thus allowing the Company to further broaden its investor base, and (ii) increase the visibility and credibility of the Company worldwide thereby attracting additional sales, partnerships, and M&A opportunities.”

In advance of an anticipated listing on NASDAQ, PyroGenesis will, over the next several days, formally file an application to list on NASDAQ. Shortly thereafter, the Company will file a 40-F registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The listing of the Company’s Shares on NASDAQ remains subject to the approval of the exchange, and the satisfaction of all applicable listing and regulatory requirements. The Company will continue to maintain the listing of its Shares on the TSX and, subsequent to a successful listing, would trade on both exchanges under the ticker symbol “PYR”.
