My story...
Dr. Nenad Milosavljevic
Founder & CEO
With a diverse background in the field of chemical engineering, particularly in the paper industry, I have held various positions throughout my career. Starting as a Production Engineer at DS Smith in Belisce, Croatia, I then transitioned to a Research Engineer role at the Technical Research Center of Finland (VTT Jyväskylä).
After successfully work in VTT, I joined Finnish company Valmet, the largest supplier of paper machines in the world at the time, as Head of Research and Development. Additionally, I earned my Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from Åbo Akademi University in Finland and held an Associate Professor position in the Faculty of Chemical Engineering.
Later, I signed a contract with ANDRITZ AG and served as the Director for R&D Tissue & Paper Drying Systems and Director of Air Systems & Runnability in the Paper, Fiber, and Recycling Division, where I worked until 2021. Afterward, I founded my own company, Nemitek Technology, in Graz, Austria.
