Applying Science for Commercial Benefit

Meeting, and often exceeding, client needs through the application of chemical, thermal, and engineering disciplines is the mission of The Trezek Group and its founder/principal, George J. Trezek, PhD.

From his pioneering days at the University of California, Berkeley, Dr. Trezek has been an innovator. He built the first Waste Process Lab that served as the benchmark for subsequent production facilities and, more recently, an early prototype facility to convert sugar cane and other cellulosic materials into ethanol. Together with his associates, Dr. Trezek has been in the forefront of the application of scientific discovery for commercial purposes.
