Bringing the world of sustainable technologies to students
One of the ways we work to reinforce our link to the communities in which we operate is through educational initiatives by stimulating scientific interest.
Growing for clean mobility
Over the current 5-year period Umicore has been driving economic performance by ramping up capacity in a number of selected areas to meet the growing demand in our products and services. 
Powering towards a future in electric Vehicles
Battery technology will need to evolve to do more with less: more power density and longer range with less weight and material. Umicore is exploring iterative improvements to NMC technology and the use of high-density composite anodes.
Smooth integration of Haldor Topsoe’s DeNOx technology
Our acquisition of Haldor Topsoe’s heavy-duty diesel and stationary catalyst businesses further enhance our leadership in products for clean mobility and air.

Expanding to meet the clean mobility challenge
One of Umicore’s Horizon 2020 goals is to be a leader in clean mobility materials. This means keeping up with the rapid adoption of electrified vehicles (EVs). There are 2 million EVs on the road today. This number is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years.
Ensuring sustainable cobalt sourcing
Umicore’s Sustainable Procurement Framework for Cobalt ensures that a key raw material is sourced according to the principles of ethics and sustainability.
Pushing for progress on safety
Umicore’s Rechargeable Battery Materials business unit has transformed its approach to safety. Its impressive results are serving as an excellent example throughout Umicore.
New automotive catalyst plant to enable cleaner air
To achieve cleaner air the European Commission is enacting ever-stricter limits on vehicle emissions. As carmakers need to implement the changing regulations, a new factory in Nowa Ruda will help Umicore meet the growing demand for advanced pollution control systems.
Olen: Charging for the Future
Olen has been an important part of Umicore for over a century. Now, after a large-scale improvement programme, the site is proudly prepared to play a key role in the years to come.
Collaborating on new metal recovery processes
Recent collaboration between Umicore and Prysmian Group has led to innovative recovery processes that reduce waste and lower the consumption of germanium, a scarce resource.
