About Peter
Peter Janicki is a master engineer and visionary leader, best known as the founder of Janicki Industries, a highly successful family-run manufacturing business in Sedro Woolley, Washington. Growing up as a master tinkerer in his family’s logging business, Peter developed a practical mindset that now guides his company, which has grown to over 600 employees. Janicki Industries specializes in tackling the world’s most demanding engineering challenges, primarily using composite materials and exotic metals for large, high-precision projects. Their work is essential in advanced sectors like aerospace and defense, including contributions to major programs for companies like Northrop Grumman and Boeing. The company is currently undergoing a major expansion to increase its advanced manufacturing capacity. Beyond aerospace, Peter is a social innovator. He founded Sedron Technologies (formerly Janicki Bioenergy) to take on a critical global challenge: sanitation. This led to his invention of the OmniProcessor, a revolutionary, ecologically sound machine commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The OmniProcessor takes human waste and converts it into three safe and valuable products: clean drinking water, electricity, and fertilizer. The OmniProcessor has been successfully piloted in places like Dakar, Senegal, proving that this self-sustaining technology can help solve the global sanitation crisis, which still affects billions of people. Peter’s work consistently demonstrates the power of engineering to solve both industrial and humanitarian problems.
