Johnson Matthey opens its new engineering center in India
Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies, announced the opening of its new engineering center in Mumbai. This new site confirms JM’s commitment to India as a partner for manufacturing and engineering.
The center will tap into India’s engineering talent, increasing JM’s capacity to deliver projects for its customers across its core licensing business and new growth areas in hydrogen, sustainable fuels and chemicals.
Maurits van Tol, Chief Executive for Catalyst Technologies at Johnson Matthey, said, “India is internationally renowned for its engineering talent and expertise, and recruiting more talent is crucial to our plans to deliver more projects for our global customers across both our core licensing business and our growing business in low carbon technologies.
“We’re excited to continue our long history in India and look forward to welcoming more local talent into the JM family.”
The new center will support India’s ambition to reach net zero by 2070, developing projects that reduce carbon emissions from fuel, power generation, and hard-to-abate sectors. The center will focus on hydrogen, sustainable fuels, sustainable methanol and specialty chemicals.
The center will be led by Ramsundar Solaimalai. Its opening was celebrated with an exclusive reception at the British High Commission in Mumbai which gathered many of India’s most prominent decision makers across one of the fastest growing markets in the world.
Harjinder Kang, His Majesty’s Trade Commissioner for South Asia, and British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, said, “I’m delighted to see that British multinational Johnson Matthey is strengthening its long-standing presence in India by setting up a new engineering center in Mumbai. Focused on providing low-carbon technology solutions to the world, this new facility is another testament to the UK’s strong commitment to accelerating clean growth by working alongside indispensable partners like India.”
