Ecovyst, a leading integrated and innovative global provider of advanced materials, specialty catalysts, sulfuric acid and regeneration services, and ChiralVision, a leading innovator of biocatalysis-based technologies have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enhance collaboration in the field of enzyme immobilization.

This partnership is expected to leverage the unique expertise of both companies to drive innovation and efficiency in industrial biocatalysis.

Ecovyst brings its extensive experience in developing high-quality, robust materials for advanced applications. ChiralVision provides innovative solutions that enhance biocatalytic performance in industrial processes.

This collaboration represents a significant step toward delivering high-performance solutions for industries seeking to optimize biocatalysis for a greener and more sustainable future.

"For almost two decades, ChiralVision has been successful in deploying its expertise in enzymatic process development using tailored immobilized biocatalysts. Biocatalysis, and in particular enzyme immobilization, is the key to economical and sustainable commercial production. Through the collaboration with Ecovyst, one of the largest and most innovative advanced materials and specialty catalysts manufacturers in the world, we can support larger and more complex development projects and let our commercial scale production of immobilized enzymes grow further. We are eager to take this step and strengthen the current partnership," said Dr. Rob Schoevaart, Managing Director, ChiralVision.

"This partnership perfectly aligns with Ecovyst's commitment to drive innovation through material science expertise. Our deep knowledge of silica technology and ability to tailor its properties for specific applications have played a crucial role in optimizing the immobilization process, enabling improved enzyme stability and performance. Together with ChiralVision, we are shaping solutions that meet the growing demand for greener, more cost-effective industrial processes," said Paul Whittleston, President of Advanced Materials & Catalysts at Ecovyst.
