Flexible Solutions International Receives $2.5 Million Payment for Food Grade Product Development Assistance

Flexible Solutions International (FSI) received a $2.5 million payment for assisting in the development of a new food grade product. The company may receive additional payments in the future and has the potential to obtain new business manufacturing the product. FSI's CEO, Dan O'Brien, commented on the revenue generated from the R&D support and hopes for future orders.

Flexible Solutions International (FSI), a developer and manufacturer of biodegradable polymers and environmentally safe technologies, has received a significant milestone payment of $2.5 million for its role in the development of a new food grade product. The payment, received on July 1, 2025, marks a key advancement in FSI's diversification strategy into the food grade manufacturing sector [1].

The company, which specializes in products for oil extraction, detergent ingredients, water treatment, and crop nutrient availability chemistry, may receive additional payments for this development work in future quarters. Additionally, FSI's NCS division could potentially secure manufacturing contracts for the newly developed product. CEO Dan O'Brien expressed optimism about the R&D revenue and highlighted the company's focus on establishing long-term production relationships as a food grade manufacturer [1].

The latest development aligns with FSI's strategic expansion into the food grade market, following the signing of a significant new contract with a US-based company for food grade manufacturing in January 2025. This contract is expected to generate annual revenue between $15 million and $30 million or more, with revenue generation anticipated to begin in approximately six months [2].

FSI's financial performance in recent quarters has shown mixed results. The company reported a 19% decline in revenue to $7.47 million in Q1 2025, attributed to reduced sales volume, higher cost of goods including tariffs, and expenses related to CAPEX and Panama factory operations. However, CEO Dan O'Brien noted that customers who adjusted inventory in Q1 returned to normal order patterns in April, and ENP's lower revenue has rebounded in Q2 [3].

Despite the challenges, FSI remains optimistic about its future prospects. The company's focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly technologies positions it well to capitalize on the growing demand for eco-conscious products. As the company continues to expand its manufacturing capabilities and secure new contracts, investors can expect to see further updates on its progress in the specialty chemicals sector.
