How we started

The early years of Attix began in Toronto in the year 2000, D. Syveon Liu, the founder and the lead chemist of Attix, rented space in a lab at York University to develop Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API’s) for pharmaceutical manufacturers.  After having worked on several projects, Syveon developed strong relationships with these manufacturers and had formed key partnerships.  As the industry grew in China, and knowing that these manufacturers now reached a North American standard for quality, Syveon decided it was time to expand the scope of the business and equipped with these strong relationships, started taking key steps to becoming a premier supplier in the industry worldwide.

Prior to developing the framework of his company, Syveon graduated from the School of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the Beijing Medical University in 1992 with a Masters of Medicine.  He later moved on to pursue a PhD and do research work in the Biochemistry Department at Sydney University in Australia, before taking his foundation of knowledge and research to North America.  He then continued to study at the Chemistry Department of the University of Toronto, where some of his PhD research work was published in the Journal of Chemical Research (Cambridge, England) and some North American Journals as well.   Syveon also gained valuable experience in Canada as a research chemist for some of the largest pharmaceutical companies in Canada, focusing on R&D, drug delivery, and product development.  With 20-year experience in the pharmaceutical industry, as a chemist, Syveon understands the importance of using high quality products, and therefore maintains this same standard for each and every customer.

We are proud of our extensive product knowledge, excellent technical skills, innovative thinking and strong project management.
