1990’s – Specialisation

• The two industry founders chose their futures

• BASF focuses on speciality chemicals and its

integrated chemicals manufacturing sites

• Sells it’s catalyst business to JM (then ICI) in 1997

• Johnson Matthey specialises in catalysts and

associated technology

• Acquires ICI Syngas catalyst business in 2002

• Acquires Davy Process technology in 2006

• Acquires Formox formaldehyde in 2012
