Business outline
Developing businesses that utilize environmental technology to clean the air. Our exhaust gas purification catalysts for gasoline / diesel vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), have the top share in Japan. We are also focusing on the battery material business for next-generation vehicles, such as electrocatalysts for fuel cells, and carbon materials for storage batteries.
Exhaust gas purification catalyst business
From domestic top share to world standard
Utilizing catalyst technology, we are working to comply with automobile emission regulations. Cataler's advanced exhaust purification catalyst technology attracted the attention of the industry from early on, and has already gained the top share in Japan. It is highly acclaimed by overseas automobile manufacturers, and is widely adopted around the world. And that area has evolved to all stages where internal combustion engines operate, not just automobiles. Beyond national borders and beyond genres, the needs are only increasing.
Next-generation vehicle battery material business
We are realizing advanced solutions that will support the automobile society of the future.
With an eye on the hydrogen society and the smart /clean car society represented by the spread of fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) and electric vehicles (BEVs), we are also leading the R&D of advanced technologies such as electrocatalysts.
Other businesses and activities
Aiming for a sustainable society, we are challenging new areas of activity
Cataler is developing various businesses and activities in order to utilize the environmental technology we have cultivated in the field of automobile catalysts. For example, "flow synthesis", which is an organic synthesis method, leads to the realization of a manufacturing process that saves energy and has less impact on the environment. Cataler is taking on the challenge of new areas of activity with the aim of creating a sustainable recycling society, in which people live in harmony with nature on a global scale.
