Topsoe锐化焦点，销售排放控制区域

• Topsoe sells automotive and stationary DeNOx business areas to Umicore.
• Topsoe将提高专注于开发新的可持续解决方案，扩大石化工业和炼油厂的催化剂和技术内的核心业务。
• 合同价值是达克900百万加上的赚钱。

Today, Topsoe announced that it has sold its automotive and stationary DeNOx business areas to Umicore. The agreement includes all employees and all technologies, intellectual property rights, and production and R&D facilities belonging to the two business areas in Denmark, USA, China, and Brazil. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be finalized around year-end. Kromann Reumert and Lazard acted as Haldor Topsoe's advisers for the transaction.

“The agreement is in line with our strategic objective to be present in niche markets where we aim to be among the top 3 players. As the automotive and stationary DeNOx markets have evolved, that was no longer a realistic prospect for us, and we have acted on that. It is highly unusual for us to sell parts of our business, but as a top 3 player within automotive catalysts, Umicore is better suited to continue the development and marketing of the world-leading stationary and automotive DeNOx products, we have developed,” says Bjerne S. Clausen, President & CEO, Topsoe.

“随着我们通过本协议实现的金融净空，我们将锐利的是开发开发突破新的可持续解决方案，并在石化和炼油行业的催化剂和技术内扩展我们的核心业务。基于我们强大的核心竞争力，我们将继续支持客户的业务，越来越节能，干净，综合解决方案，“克劳森·克劳森补充道。

280 Topsoe员工被转移到Umicore。

“我们很高兴欢迎来自Topsoe的许多高技能员工。他们将在未来实现我们的战略目标方面发挥重要作用。通过本协议，我们获得最先进的排放控制技术和生产设施。这些是我们广泛的催化剂组合的优秀补充，用于清洁空气应用，并使我们提供更加完整的客户，“Europly副总统催化股份有限公司Pascal Reymendet说。
