History

The origins of Calix began in 2005, with work on flash calcining. In 2007 their first pilot calciner facility was built to test what was possible with a fully established CFC 850 calciner plant at Bacchus Marsh in 2011. In 2012 Calix acquired mining tenements at Myrtle Springs, South Australia. Between 2013 and 2017 Calix established a plant in South East Asia and won several awards and funding for a variety of sustainable technologies including Advanced Battery research, and Agricultural applications. Calix listed publicly in the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in 2018 and in coordination with the LEILAC (Low Emissions Intensity Lime & Cement) project in Europe, began construction of a pilot plant in Lixhe, Belgium. In 2019 Calix acquired the US-based company Inland Empire Resources.
