Established in 2005 during a hike through the Swiss Alps, HeiQ was born from a moment of inspiration between co-founders Carlo Centonze and Dr. Murray Height. Motivated by solving everyday challenges through science – like persistent odors in hiking shirts – they embarked on a mission to revolutionize material innovation. As a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich, HeiQ has grown into a global leader in biotech ingredients and specialty chemicals. We serve over 1,000 partners in 60+ countries, offering innovative solutions for textiles, flooring, building materials, glass, plastics, probiotic cleaning, cosmetics, and more.
