John Warner has helped steer JordProxa's growth from a start-up in 2018 to becoming a major supplier of crystallisers to the battery chemical market. John currently lives and works in Perth. Prior to the formation of JordProxa he has designed and sold process plant and equipment, much of it in modular form, to leading global companies. Many of these sales introduced new products into JordProxa's portfolio. He has worked extensively on clean air and clean water projects in both the research and corporate sectors in Australia, USA, Korea, India and Chile. These projects have included the application of evaporation and crystallisation technology to achieve zero liquid discharge solutions.
