Our technology is included in the international libraries of Material Connexion. Our co-founders are graduates of the SBA Emerging Leaders and were part of the U.S. delegation to the 2017 Global Entrepreneurship Summit.

Elinor was founded in 2009 by a materials engineer and an organic farmer, both of whom are believers in permaculture and love the great outdoors. We believe that we have all the tools we need to work with nature, to make the world better for all who inhabit it and to solve some of the most frustrating issues we all have related to corrosion, degradation and fouling to protect the amazing machines, structures and world we’ve created.
