Our Story

In the summer of 2015, Eco Scandic's current CEO, Georg Bitarichvili, received a call from a family friend, Andrei Abrosimov (current Technical Director), who shared his idea of establishing the Nordic region's first recycling facility for F-gases. Georg's friend Niklas Rinne, now the current Chief Development Officer and a member of FREA's board, was studying at Aalto University for a diploma in energy engineering at that time. He became interested in the idea and wrote his thesis around the newly founded company. After a long and diverse career in handling hazardous chemicals and with a diploma in chemical engineering, Andrei, along with two enthusiastic and knowledgeable youths, founded Eco Scandic. Today, seven years later, the company has 11 employees and operates in Helsinki and Stockholm.
