Who is Aztalan Bio?
Aztalan Bio, a ClonBio Group company, operates in the village of Aztalan-just outside Jefferson, WI-after ClonBio acquired Wisconsin's largest ethanol plant in 2022. The facility processes up to 40 million bushels of locally grown feed corn each year, producing corn oil, ethanol, corn germ, bran, and distillers' grains. These outputs support a wide range of markets including food production, animal nutrition, and renewable energy.
Aztalan's sister facility, Pannonia Bio in Hungary, is one of the most technologically advanced grain biorefineries in the world. Over the coming years, Aztalan will undergo a similar transformation, investing hundreds of millions of dollars to create a next generation biorefinery tailored to Wisconsin's agricultural strengths.
Owned by the family-run ClonBio Group, Aztalan Bio benefits from a long-term vision centered on innovation and people. Our internal team of engineers and scientists-spanning 23 countries and 5 continents-is a key reason ClonBio's facilities are global leaders in biorefining technology.
