British catalyst maker Johnson Matthey has acquired the Formox formaldehyde catalyst business from Sweden’s Perstorp for about $160 million. The business, which makes and recycles metal oxide catalysts that convert methanol into formaldehyde, had sales last year of about $75 million. Johnson Matthey says the purchase enhances its supply of technology for syngas and other chemical processes. It also sees use for Formox’ selective oxidation catalysis technology in other areas.
