Kimre CEO
George C. Pedersen is the son of a Danish immigrant who farmed vegetables and instilled the values of hard work and determination. As a result, Mr. Pedersen was on the Dean’s list and received his Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, minoring in Nuclear Chemical Engineering in 1962, Master of Science degree in Chemical Engineering Practice in 1963, Chemical Engineer degree in 1966 having completed all requirements for a doctorate in Chemical Engineering, except thesis, all at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). In addition, he studied graduate-level courses in Nuclear Chemical Engineering, Education in Computers, Human Relations, Business and Professional Engineering.
In 1973, Mr. Pedersen founded Kimre, Inc. with only an idea for a solution to a very real problem. He did not have clients, a factory or any money at this point and focused the business activities of Kimre, Inc. to include the utilization of materials for which patents were issued worldwide in the control of Air Pollution and by the Chemical Process Industries.
His hard work and determination have indeed been highly successful as the technology for utilization of these products has been extensively developed and is currently used worldwide for diverse applications in Air Pollution Control (APC) and other gas cleaning and liquid cleaning functions.
Mr. Pedersen is happily married to his wife, Terry, and is the proud father of George C. Pedersen III, Mary, Kimberly and Rachelle. He enjoys fishing, traveling, spending time with family and more fishing.
