Marc Buttmann, Founder, CEO and majority share holder:
As a former waterpolo premier league and junior national team player, I was always led by the principle of competition, but in my professional career as an engineer I am much more guided by the idea of sufficiency: instead of growth at any price using resources wisely for a good cause. The biocoal idea represents exactly that – and made me so enthusiastic about it in 2008 that I quit my job as board member of a Swiss cooperation to start an endeavor with our small, powerful team to become a global market leader until today. I would like to thank all our companions for that!”
