ClonBio Group

ClonBio Foods is a family-owned Irish food ingredients company founded by Mark Turley, operating under the ClonBio Group umbrella. The company specializes in developing innovative plant-based proteins and dietary fibers derived from natural grains, with a focus on delivering high nutritional value and functional performance for food and beverage manufacturers. Powered by one of Europe's most advanced biorefineries, ClonBio Foods employs a circular grain-refining process that extracts maximum value from each harvest: starches are converted into renewable alcohol and biofuels, while the remaining grain fractions are transformed into nutritious food ingredients and high-quality animal feeds.

The company's flagship ingredient portfolio includes two core products. FibAX® Corn Arabinoxylan Fiber is a non-GMO, clean-label soluble dietary fiber derived from corn that supports gut health, immunity, and metabolic balance. It is suitable for a broad range of food and beverage applications including bakery, beverages, dairy and dairy alternatives, lifestyle and wellness products, snacks, cereals, pasta, noodles, and meat and meat alternatives. The second key product, PurusPro® Barley Protein, is produced through a pioneering process in which sugars from barley are converted into biofuels, and the remaining fraction yields a nutritionally rich, high-protein and high-fiber ingredient that retains the micronutrients characteristic of barley as an ancient grain.

ClonBio Foods targets B2B customers in the food and beverage manufacturing sector, positioning itself as a science-led ingredient supplier that helps brand owners develop smarter, more nutritious, and more sustainable product formulations. The company participates in major international industry trade shows including SupplySide Global and Fi Europe, reflecting its ambition to reach a global customer base from its Irish base of operations.

The company's research function is central to its operations, with scientists working to preserve the natural nutritional properties of grains throughout the refining process. This commitment to science-backed ingredient development underpins both product quality and the functional claims associated with its fiber and protein ingredients.

Beyond its commercial operations, ClonBio Foods has a meaningful economic footprint in rural Ireland, supporting up to 6,000 jobs annually and contributing to the vitality of local communities through employment and active participation in cultural, sports, and charitable initiatives. The company's circular biorefinery model is designed to ensure that no grain fraction goes to waste, enabling it to produce affordable, scalable ingredients while minimizing environmental impact.
