Hoover's coverage by Peter Partheymuller

Overview

Johnson Matthey is truly a golden oldie. The company, which dates to 1817, is an established world leader in the refining and distributing of gold, silver, and platinum group metals (about 60% of sales). It is the sole marketing arm for Anglo Platinum, the world's largest platinum producer, through its Precious Metal Products division. Johnson Matthey's next largest unit, the Environmental Technologies Catalysts division, produces emission control products, fuel cells, and process catalysts. Its Fine Chemicals and Catalysts division makes base and precious metals catalysts and chemicals as well as active ingredients sold to pharmaceuticals manufacturers. In 2007 the company sold its Ceramics business.
