Transaction<\/h2>\n

H.C. Starck sold the AMPERKAT\u00ae product line, because these catalysts no longer belong to the company’s core businesses. In its markets the AMPERKAT\u00ae brand is known for its high quality. In line with a license agreement, Evonik will continue to use this brand name for a limited period of time.<\/p>\n
