The Continuum mission

Be the most sustainable, quality metal powder supplier on the planet, providing a direct path to decarbonization, avoiding metals mining altogether.

What drives us

At Continuum Powders, we are driven by an insatiable passion to do the right thing, to create better things. We started with the premise that it wasn’t enough to just recycle metals. We set out to change the entire complex value chain of metal powders and make it as simple, lean and easy to implement as possible. 

To do this, we also realized that a better way would require completely new thinking. We didn’t want to update existing solutions. Our global teams looked at everything and we built a new, agile, circular, one-step process from the ground up. 

We are driven to solve real world problems for our customers, safely, reliably. We strive to be the best sustainable metal powders solution, providing the highest quality, traceable and affordable path towards decarbonization, while avoiding mining altogether.

With Continuum Powders as decarbonization partners, our customers will make meaningful gains towards their sustainability goals and lead their industry in corporate responsibility without compromise to quality or cost.

Our history

Our founder, Jim Wilson, is fascinated with growing things and taking a top-down approach to ensure they succeed.

Perhaps it's the farmer from a small town inside him combined with his  many years as a pilot. Either way, he is always blazing a new path that not many have traversed, and even fewer have envisioned--a world where we grow our own medicine.

Zea started in the food industry, growing and selling lettuce in 2016--where teams were able to optimize a unique growing platform that could deliver a path to the predictability and unrivaled precision.

The crisis of COVID-19 gave Zea a unique opportunity to move the precision growing platform into the pharmaceuticals market.

Along with a vastly experienced science board and management team, Zea has rapidly accelerated its technology platform over the last 24 months--believing that plant biologics can transform the treatment of diseases both from a production and manufacturing point of view.  

Today, Zea is able to identify, test and trial the existence of molecules and their reproduction inside plants --similar to a bioreactor. Zea has many pilot projects in the pipeline, too.

"We believe our vision of growing medicine in plants and sharing it with the world will become a beacon of hope. That is why our platform is aptly named The Lighthouse. " --Jane Lalonde, CMO
