Three complementary Business Groups

AUTOMOTIVE CATALYSTS
We are one of the leading producers of emission control catalysts for gasoline and diesel on-road and non-road applications, power generation and industrial processes to meet environmental standards around the world.

FUEL CELLS & STATIONARY CATALYSTS
We are a leading player in emissions control catalysis for industrial plants and shipping, and supply state-of-the-art fuel cell catalysts for zero emission mobility and green hydrogen production.

PRECIOUS METALS CHEMISTRY
We are experts in metals-based catalysis for life-enhancing applications. Emission treatment technologies, cancer treatments, the production of fine chemicals and advanced electronics – all are made possible by our organometallic technology know-how.

COBALT & SPECIALTY MATERIALS
We are experts in sourcing, production and distribution of cobalt and nickel products. Our materials are at the heart of everyday products such as rechargeable batteries, tools, paints and tyres. Our recycling and refining processes, including our proprietary lithium-ion rechargeable battery recycling technology, give new life to cobalt and other metals.

ELECTRO-OPTIC MATERIALS
We are a leading supplier of material solutions for the space, optics and electronics sectors, including products for thermal imaging, wafers for space solar cells, high brightness LEDs and chemicals for fiber optics.

METAL DEPOSITION SOLUTIONS
We are one of the world's leading suppliers of products for (precious) metal-based electroplating and PVD coating of surfaces in the nano and micrometre range. Our solutions for the highest demands are used in many products of daily use or enable their production in the first place.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY MATERIALS
We are a pioneer in battery materials and a leading cathode material supplier for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, giving added range and performance to electric vehicles, and longer battery life for portable electronics.

BATTERY RECYCLING SOLUTIONS
Our leading technology closes the loop for rechargeable batteries. We use proprietary high-quality recycling processes to recover all valuable metals in an environmentally sound manner. We offer a unique sustainable and circular approach.

JEWELRY & INDUSTRIAL METALS
We are experts in developing products and processes based on precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum. Our customers use these materials to make fine jewelry, coins, high-purity glass and industrial catalysts. We provide our customers with sustainable and responsible sourcing of these metals and closed-loop recycling.

PRECIOUS METALS MANAGEMENT
We supply and handle all precious metals, ensuring physical delivery by using both the output of our precious metals refineries and our network of industrial partners and banks. We offer our customers tailor-made solutions for delivering, hedging and trading precious metals.

PRECIOUS METALS REFINING
We operate the world’s most sophisticated precious metals recycling facility and we are experts in treating the most complex materials. Our refining and recycling technology gives used metals a new lease of life. Our processes help bring value to the circular economy.
