Averhoff Energi strategic engineering alliance
A new strategic engineering alliance between Johnson Matthey and Averhoff Energi is formed to meet the increasing demand for catalytic emissions control on combined heat and power plants in Denmark
Revenue is generated through the licensing of its proprietary technologies and from the sale of associated basic engineering packages, catalysts, specialist equipment and other services.
Johnson Matthey and DPT have a long history of technical collaboration and, together with Aker Kvaerner, form the One Synergy alliance which provides turnkey solutions for methanol production and other syngas based processes including the emerging gas to liquids (GTL) market.
The combination of Johnson Matthey process catalyst businesses with DPT will present new opportunities to exploit the research capabilities of both organisations.
Johnson Matthey catalyst expertise will enhance the DPT ability to develop advanced catalyst based processes for a number of key growth markets and the acquisition will give Johnson Matthey new opportunities to grow its sales of catalysts into both existing and new emerging markets.
DPT employs around 175 people and is headquartered in London.
It has a purpose-built R and D centre in Stockton-on-Tees.
The company has a long history, having been established in the 1830s as a mechanical engineering business, and was part of Trafalgar House before being purchased by Kvaerner in 1996.
More recently, the business changed hands in 2001 when Yukos bought DPT from Aker Kvaerner.
Johnson Matthey has acquired DPT from Yukos International UK.
