He started his career at Inbev, Dupont and Monsanto before managing Biochim, a solvent distillation plant. The “Godfather” of Solvakem, it’s clear that without him, none of this would exist. Claude’s general knowledge is second to none and he has an impressive network of contacts in a diverse range of sectors. Has his feet on the ground, but like many creative chemists, can be a touch disorganized.

Erik helps the team to find valorisation solutions for their complicated side-streams, always finding creative ways of adding value to the by-products.
