Catator accelerates growth in Japan with two new orders across marine and environmental applications
Catator AB has secured two significant orders in the Japanese market. One from a major manufacturer of advanced marine propulsion systems and one from a leading company in the environmental engineering sector.
Building on its market activities since October 2024, Catator has translated customer dialogues, strengthened local engagement, and strategic partnerships into initial customer orders and several significant business opportunities with prominent industrial stakeholders. As part of this continued expansion, Catator has also formed a partnership with a respected Japanese engineering company specializing in combustion, separation, and decarbonization, which will distribute Catator’s CataLite® RCO Series for handling ammonia emissions from the semiconductor manufacturing and electronics industries.
Japan has made hydrogen a central pillar of its long-term energy and industrial strategy, supported by substantial government commitments and investment programs. National policies target the large-scale deployment of clean hydrogen across power generation, transportation, and heavy industry, with the ambition to lead global hydrogen innovation, fostering an ecosystem that supports both domestic demand and international collaboration.
“Japan is one of the most ambitious nations in advancing a hydrogen-based economy, supported by long-term policy frameworks, major funding programs, and a clear target of carbon neutrality by 2050,” says Amin Mehdipoor, Business Development Manager at Catator AB. “This creates strong demand for efficient and scalable hydrogen technologies and aligns well with Catator’s focus on compact catalytic solutions for hydrogen production and utilization.”
Catator’s activities in Japan represent a strategic step in the company’s long-term expansion plan in Northeast Asia. Participation in the Global Innovation Accelerator (GIA) program, run by the Swedish Energy Agency in cooperation with Business Sweden, has further accelerated the efforts by enabling local representation and facilitating engagement with priority customers.
