Catalysts

At the heart of successful industrial processes.

Founded by Dr. Haldor Topsøe in 1940, we’ve become a global leader in catalyst development and production.

In 2023 we invested in a state-of-the-art catalyst production facility in Bayport, Texas.

Our portfolio covers over 100 in-house catalyst types.

Approximately 90% of all commercially produced chemical products rely in catalysis.
