Our History

GreenCore Composites is a spin-off created by the Innovations Group at the University of Toronto (TIG) in September 2005, to commercialize Natural Fibre Composites technology invented by Professor Mohini Sain of the Faculty of Forestry and Chemical Engineering.

Extensive trials with automotive industry partners have confirmed the commercial potential of GreenCore's technology.   GreenCore has also conducted prototyping trials in furniture and household products applications.

In 2006, GreenCore's seasoned Management and Directors joined the Company.

Since 2005, GreenCore has obtained over $1.4 Million in financing from the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE), the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation (MRI), and the Ontario BioAuto Council.   With this funding, GreenCore is currently installing a Scale-up Manufacturing Plant in Toronto, Canada for product development, and to produce commercial quantities of composite material for testing and validation with potential customers.
