Our History
From Vision to Global Leadership.
Visionary Beginnings
1992: Cleaning Differently Begins.
In 1992, two visionary Canadian scientists decided it was time to clean differently. Working nights in their university lab—without official backing—they set out to replace harmful chemicals with nature-powered alternatives. Their breakthrough bacterial cultures revolutionized restaurant kitchen cleaning and laid the foundation for a global biotech movement.


Revolutionizing Cleaning
with Nature
From the start, InnuScience believed that nature holds the key to superior cleaning. By pioneering bacteria-based solutions, we replaced toxic chemicals with safer, more effective alternatives—proving that sustainability doesn’t mean compromising on performance.
A Breakthrough Moment
2000: The First Biotech Degreaser Patent.
InnuScience redefined the industry with Nu-Grip Plus, the world’s first patented biotech degreaser. Combining enzymatic technology with proprietary bacterial cultures, it outperformed traditional chemicals—setting a new standard for high-performance, sustainable cleaning.


Global Leadership in
Sustainable Technology
Today, InnuScience drives the global shift to biotech cleaning, delivering cutting-edge solutions in over 40 countries. From humble beginnings to worldwide recognition, we continue to raise the bar for safety, performance, and sustainability—redefining what clean means for industries across the globe.
