CORMETECH acquired by JOHNSON MATTHEY

Johnson Matthey acquires Cormetech, a US-based specialist in SCR catalysts used for emissions control in power generation and industrial applications. The transaction strengthens JM’s Clean Air Solutions business, which focuses on pollution abatement technologies for stationary engines, gas turbines and coal-fired power plants. The acquisition is designed to enhance JM’s positioning in a structurally growing emissions control market, underpinned by stricter environmental regulation and rising electricity demand driven by data centre expansion and distributed power generation. It significantly broadens JM’s technological and geographic footprint across North American and global power markets. The combination is expected to create a more integrated global platform in stationary emissions control, leveraging complementary product portfolios, industrial capabilities and customer relationships. It also supports consolidation dynamics in the catalyst market, with increased focus on technology integration, lifecycle services and cross-regional industrial optimization between Europe and the United States.
