Axens has announced the successful closing of its acquisition of 100% of Eurecat, following completion of all required regulatory approvals.
With the deal finalized, Axens becomes the sole owner of the world-leading catalyst services provider, a move the company calls “a significant milestone in Axens’ strategy to further strengthen catalysts circularity, ex situ activation, and metals reuse worldwide.”
Eurecat is renowned globally for regeneration, rejuvenation, and recycling of spent catalysts, as well as ex situ activation of fresh catalysts.
The company also provides reactor services, including catalysts loading and unloading, operating across the entire catalyst life cycle in refining, biofuels, chemicals, and gas markets. Its industrial footprint spans the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Eurecat will continue to operate independently, “serving the entire catalyst market, all operators, and all catalyst manufacturers.” The company’s confidentiality measures on business and technical matters “will remain fully in place, ensuring continuity and neutrality for all customers.”
Under Axens’ ownership, Eurecat’s strategic direction remains unchanged. Axens plans to “build on Eurecat’s recognized expertise to further develop catalyst circularity solutions, including regeneration, rejuvenation, recycling, and ex situ activation,” aiming to deliver high-value services and reduce the environmental footprint of catalyst management worldwide.
