Johnson Matthey bows out of gas purification market
This is due to a weaker LED and semiconductor market
Johnson Matthey is leaving the bulk gas purification market.
The exit regards gas purification for bulk gases using palladium membrane, heated getter or regenerable catalytic purifying technology.
Many of the products the company produces are suited to LED and compound semiconductor manufacturing.
The result will be the closure of the company's manufacturing facility in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
As a consequence, the company will begin to wind down operations at its Gas Purification Technology (GPT) business with immediate effect.
The firm also stresses to customers of Johnson Matthey’s gas processing catalysts and absorbents business, which principally serves the oil, gas and chemicals sectors, that these activities are in no way related to the company’s GPT business.
Johnson Matthey says it continues to stand behind its warranty obligations for previously purchased products.
