Our story starts in 2000 when we met as colleagues and became friends. For 14 years we worked together as engineers and business managers, gaining extensive experience in the corporate world. In 2015 we decided to start a new journey.
Our love for nature is one of our strongest friendship ties and it felt like a natural step to start a new company where we could serve the environment with our substantial engineering, business, and management experience. In pursuit of this goal, Sinowatek was registered, as a company specializing in process and product innovation for circular economies.
