Muchnik holds over two dozen U.S. and international patents, which are the intellectual property basis for products used worldwide. He brings high-technology commercialization expertise to Nuclear Solutions: -- His entrepreneurial career started in 1984 with a start-up company, Kerdix, Inc. As the founder, technology inventor and CEO of KerDix, Muchnik conceived, patented and commercialized the recordable/eraseable CD technology, which is utilized today in multiple audio and data storage/retrieval applications such as the Sony mini-disc and computer data devices. KerDix licensed its manufacturing technology in 1989 to Hoechst AG Hoechst AG was a German life-sciences company that became Aventis after its merger with Rhône-Poulenc S.A. in 1999. It has been called "The pharmacy of the world" due to its important role in the world's drug market. of Germany, a multi-billion dollar chemical company, and Konica of Japan.
