Official opening: $90M plant will improve air quality in China

Today, Haldor Topsoe, a world leader in catalysis, officially opened an advanced automotive catalysts plant in Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area (TEDA) – a 600 million renminbi investment (more than 90 million US dollars).

“Topsoe is strongly committed to China, and it is no coincidence that this plant – our largest investment ever – is located here. China is an important growth market for us, and we believe that the production of our highly efficient automotive catalysts will be a relevant contribution to support the ambitious environmental goals in the thirteenth five-year plan,” says Bjerne S. Clausen, CEO of Haldor Topsoe.

The plant produces advanced catalysts that clean the exhaust from heavy duty diesel engines in trucks, buses and other vehicles. Basic components of smog as well as hazardous soot particles are removed, which improves air quality significantly.

The plant is equipped with state-of-the-art production equipment, including robots. Safety is a focal point for Topsoe so machines have the highest safety standards and there are strict rules for the use of protective equipment and handling of chemicals.

The official opening was carried out in the presence of Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte of Denmark as part of her visit to China. At the opening ceremony the Royal Danish Ballet performed a piece from the ballet ‘Napoli’ contrasted by a traditional Chinese lion dance.
