The name

Sinonin Biotech

The business draws inspiration from the Nandi (Kenya) word “Sinonin”, which describes the lush green habitat teeming with diverse flora and fauna in the scenic Nandi County in Kenya's Great Rift Valley.

The founder

Sinonin Biotech, part of the Sinonin Group of companies, was founded by Dr. rer. nat. habil. Seronei araap Chelulei Cheison. Seronei brings academic depth from protein chemistry research at Jiangnan University (Wuxi, China) and a German Habilitation at the Technical University of Munich, combined with industry leadership at MARS Petcare, where he led projects in alternative protein innovation and palatant development.

This business combines the two worlds: scientific rigor and the practical reality of new product development.
