Air Burners Partners with Courizon Partners

New York, NY — November 25, 2025 — Air Burners, Inc. (“Air Burners”), the global leader in air curtain burner systems for environmentally responsible, on-site disposal of wood and vegetative waste, announced its acquisition by Courizon Partners LLC (“Courizon”). The new partnership with Courizon is an important milestone for Air Burners as it continues to support customers across land clearing, forestry management, wildfire mitigation, agriculture, and municipal applications in the U.S. and more than 30 international markets.

Demand for Air Burners’ solutions continues to grow as operators face increasing pressure to manage wood and vegetative waste safely, cost effectively, and with reduced environmental impact. Air Burners’ systems offer a unique value proposition:

• Reduce smoke and particulate emissions by more than 90% compared to open burning;
• Reduce operating costs by eliminating whole trees, limbs and root balls without mechanical processing;
• Generate high-value biochar and carbon credits.

The result is a differentiated combination of environmental benefit, regulatory compliance, and compelling economics that deliver an attractive payback to end-users.

Air Burners is also excited to announce that Darin Clause has been named Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Clause brings extensive leadership experience across manufacturing and industrial distribution, most recently serving as President of Cadrex Manufacturing Solutions. He previously held senior roles at Airtech Advanced Materials Group, Diploma plc, and AFGlobal Corporation.

“It is an honor to join Air Burners at this important moment in the Company’s history,” said Mr. Clause. “The team has built an impressive platform with industry-leading technology, a strong reputation for reliability, and a clear mission to provide solutions that are becoming more urgent as operators seek better alternatives to traditional disposal methods. I look forward to partnering with Brian, our colleagues and our new partners at Courizon to build on this foundation and drive meaningful growth.”

Brian O’Connor, Founder and long-time CEO of Air Burners, will transition to the role of Chief Technology Officer and focus on product innovation and building the Company’s technology roadmap.

“After more than two decades leading Air Burners, I am excited to assume a new role that allows me to focus on the areas where I have the most passion,” said Mr. O’Connor. “We have an outstanding opportunity to expand the solutions we offer customers to responsibly manage wood and vegetative waste by advancing our technology and enhancing performance. I have enjoyed getting to know Darin and the Courizon team, and I look forward to working with him to take Air Burners to new heights.”
