Cortec® CEO Boris Miksic and Wife Ines Join the Mayo Legacy!

January 5, 2023

What began as a small home business 45 years ago in Hugo, Minnesota, has now led to the placement of Cortec® CEO Boris Miksic’s name alongside those of the Mayo brothers and other philanthropists on the Mayo Legacy wall in Rochester, Minnesota.

Boris and his wife, Ines Tendler, recently joined the Mayo Legacy program through planned giving of a multimillion-dollar endowment that will help fund the Mayo Clinic’s cutting-edge medical research group. In addition to his respect for the Mayo Clinic as the world’s number one hospital, Boris has a special place in his heart for the Mayo Clinic as a fellow Minnesota-made entity like his own Cortec® Corporation, the enterprise that has ultimately made this gift possible. “As a Minnesota based corporation it is our mission to support clinical research for the benefit of mankind ‘made in Minnesota,’” Boris stated.

Boris founded Cortec® Corporation in 1977 after immigrating to Minnesota from Croatia. Over the last 45 years, the corrosion control startup has grown into a multinational group with offices in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia and a distribution network in more than 100 countries. Miksic is happy to know that the fruits of his life work will continue to impact future generations beyond his own lifetime thanks to the Mayo Legacy.
