Honeywell completed the £1.325bn acquisition of Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies, integrating advanced catalyst expertise with its automation and digitalisation capabilities to serve refining, petrochemicals, and renewable fuels customers. The deal is part of Honeywell's £11.5bn strategic acquisition programme since 2023, following the spin-off of its Aerospace and Advanced Materials businesses.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Advanced Materials, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you supply narrow-beam catalyst tech or niche process sensors to oil refineries and chemical plants, you've just lost a customer acquisition channel. Honeywell now owns the installed base and the catalyst stack—your buyer just became your competitor, and the path to their customers runs through their salesforce.
