Heesung Catalysts, a global foundry in the catalyst industry

For over 40 years, we have independently carried out the commercialization process in the catalyst industry, from catalyst technology development to process development, scale-up, and mass production. We have witnessed countless cases where outstanding catalyst technologies developed by us, other companies, or research institutes failed to commercialize and disappeared. As a global leading supplier of catalysts with over 40 years of experience, Heesung Catalysts provides the best customer-tailored catalyst development and manufacturing services. Through our catalyst foundry business, we expand innovative catalyst technologies to industries worldwide, realizing commercialization through advanced production facilities and extensive research expertise.
