Sannitree® International is a diversified international company offering its customers a wide variety of microbial based products specifically related to waste treatment. It is a research-based company and aims to be the market leader in its chosen field. Sannitree® International began in South Africa in 1981 when Mike Mayne initiated the idea of providing economical sewage treatment in rural areas, farms and settlement camps. At this early stage he realized the need to treat the sewage with something that would rapidly break it up, but at the same time not harm the environment. Together with Dr DG Celliers, one of the world’s most respected enzymologists, they began testing, analyzing and marketing their very first microbial based product, Sannitree® Bio-Enzymes. Mike was then joined by Gordon Bruce (Director, Finance and administration) and Brian Goodman (Director, Marketing & International Development). Today, the group is represented by subsidiaries or agencies in numerous countries around the world.
