The Competence Centre for Technology & Innovation
The Competence Centre for Technology & Innovation will provide services to all three of SANITIZED’s business units: Textiles, Polymer Additives, and Coatings and Preservation. It will be built on top of SANITIZED’s TecCenter for Analytics, Microbiology and Applications and its regulatory department.
Michael Lüthi, CEO of SANITIZED AG, is delighted to welcome such a highly experienced new member of the SANITIZED team: “Martin Čadek understands, lives and breathes our philosophy of thinking and acting with customers and solutions in mind, where sustainability plays a crucial role.”
Dr. Čadek believes that it is important for SANITIZED’s customers to benefit from the company’s technological and innovation expertise in more ways than just products. “The team at SANITIZED AG also provides the industry with reliable and expert assistance in using our technologies,” explains the new CTO, who places great value on long-term collaboration with customers and partners.
