“The mill is built. Every piece of equipment that touches the material is installed and connected, from the conveyor at ground level to the cyclone that catches the dust.”
David Villarreal, Chief Executive Officer of RenX Enterprises
“What is left is power, start-up, and bin walls to store the finished product. Florida growers have been importing their substrate for decades, and we expect the next thing our shareholders hear from us on Microtec to be that the line has been energized.”
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / November 6, 2026 / RenX Enterprises Corp. (NASDAQ:RENX) ("RenX" or the "Company") today announced that its licensed Microtec UTM 1200 Turbo Mill at its permitted 80+ acre organics processing facility in Myakka City, Florida is now fully assembled. The feed conveyor, hopper, metering feeder, screening and magnetic separation unit, and cyclone dust collection system are installed and connected to the mill, completing the fifth of the seven installation milestones the Company laid out on September 30, 2026. Two milestones remain: connecting power and commissioning (the start-up and testing phase), which remain on track for the fourth quarter of 2026. Photographs and video are available at https://www.renxent.com/media.
The mill is designed to turn oversized material that has historically left Myakka City as a lower-value byproduct into specification-grade engineered substrate, a higher-margin product line alongside the compost, mulch, and processed wood products the Company sells today. Florida growers currently source much of their substrate as sphagnum peat and bark shipped from Canada and other regions outside the state, and, as described in the Company's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K, recent U.S. tariff adjustments on imported amendment inputs have created a competitive tailwind for domestic producers of waste-derived substrates.
