- US EdenCrete® sales approx AUD 116k with major Colorado projects advancing
- New EdenCrete® trials and orders in Canada, Ecuador, Argentina, Guatemala, and Mexico
- OptiBlend® orders and quotations surge, driven by US data centre demand

EdenCrete® Gains Traction Across Americas
Eden Innovations Ltd has reported encouraging progress in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with its signature EdenCrete® concrete additive continuing to gain commercial footholds across North and South America. US sales for the quarter reached approximately AUD 116,000, supported by advancing major construction projects in Colorado, including the Bellview Station Block F and the Colorado Department of Transportation’s I-70 Floyd Hill expansion.
Notably, EdenCrete® has expanded its presence within the Holcim Group’s network, with the first Canadian order placed by Innocon in Toronto, marking Canada as the third country after the USA and Ecuador to adopt EdenCrete® for commercial use. This milestone follows successful trials and installations of bulk dispensing systems, with further orders anticipated from Holcim Ecuador and trial requests underway in Argentina and Guatemala. Mexico is also progressing towards commercial adoption after ongoing trials.
OptiBlend® Sales Accelerate on Data Centre Demand
Meanwhile, OptiBlend®, Eden’s dual fuel system for gensets, is experiencing growing market interest, particularly from the booming US data centre sector. The quarter saw new orders totaling approximately AUD 225,000 and quotations exceeding AUD 1.3 million. This surge is driven by increasing power demands from cloud computing and artificial intelligence applications, with OptiBlend® offering extended backup power duration and reduced emissions; a compelling value proposition for data centre operators.
Strategic Property Sales to Strengthen Balance Sheet
On the corporate front, Eden is progressing the sale of its 65.5-acre industrial property in Augusta, Georgia, with completion and payment expected by early November 2025. The transaction, valued at US$5 million, will significantly reduce Eden’s outstanding loan from iBorrow LP, easing interest burdens and improving liquidity. The company is also actively marketing its Littleton, Colorado property, aiming to further reduce debt and bolster working capital.
Despite a negative net operating cash flow of AUD 941,000 for the quarter, Eden’s cash position improved to AUD 744,000, supported by equity raises and loan funding. The company anticipates that increased sales activity and property disposals will enable it to approach cash flow breakeven in the medium term.
Looking Ahead
With EdenCrete® under consideration for electromagnetic pulse protection in a new Ohio data centre and OptiBlend® gaining traction amid data centre expansion, Eden Innovations is positioning itself at the intersection of construction innovation and critical infrastructure resilience. The coming quarters will be pivotal as the company converts trials into commercial contracts and completes strategic asset sales to underpin growth.
Bottom Line?
Eden Innovations is navigating a critical growth phase, balancing expanding product adoption with strategic asset sales to secure its financial footing.
Questions in the middle?
- Will EdenCrete® secure commercial contracts beyond trials in Argentina, Guatemala, and Mexico?
- How will US tariffs on Canadian goods impact EdenCrete® sales growth in the Toronto market?
- Can OptiBlend® maintain its accelerated sales momentum amid rising data centre power demands?
