Research Center - Proven Catalyst Development
As one of the leading suppliers of catalysts in Japan, NU develops new catalysts and applied technologies under a well-established R&D system.
-
Research and Development
The Research and development division always puts the customer's needs as first priority and works on developing high quality and high performance catalysts. We realize customer’s needs through effective cooperation system among R&D, sales and manufacturing departments with close communication.
-
New Product Development and Commercialization
A new product is commercialized by scaling-up a research prototype through commercial and massproduction trials. The Technical Center takes the lead to advance the commercialization taking into account diversified standpoints such as quality, HSE (health, safety and environment) and manufacturing capacity. Under the well-organized production system, we develop and deliver products to customers with confidence.

Development of New Field for Catalyst and Technology
We can support customers to develop and commercialize their catalysts by applying our experience and technologies on catalyst preparation, analysis, performance evaluation and material development (alumina, zeolite, etc.).
-
Joint Development
Based on abundant experience of both ourselves and UOP for catalyst development, we can support your catalyst development activities. (Conclusion of a joint development agreement is assumed.)
