Johnson Matthey Shanghai produces 60 millionth catalyst

In December our Emission Control Technologies (ECT) team based in Shanghai, China, celebrated the production of 60 million autocatalysts.

Johnson Matthey opened its first autocatalyst facilities in Shanghai in 2001. As business grew, in line with China's automotive industry, a second site was purchased nearby for a technical centre to research, develop and test emission control products. Extra autocatalyst production facilities were also built.
 
Since then, the autocatalyst manufacturing facilities in Shanghai have gone from strength to strength, producing 40 million autocatalysts in 2015, 50 million by May 2016 and 60 million by December 2016.
 
Phil Blakeman, Managing Director - ECT Asia said: "I am proud to be sharing this special milestone with the China team. They have all worked very hard to give us such a great business to build on for the future!"
