About INTERKAT
INTERKAT Catalyst GmbH, based in Königswinter, is a specialist supplier of environmental catalysts. Its core business covers the development, manufacture and distribution of emission-reduction catalysts, with a focus on the catalytic coating of ceramic and metal substrate materials with active washcoat. The portfolio includes oxidation catalysts, diesel particulate filters (DPF), SCR catalysts, SCR-on-DPF systems (SDPF), three-way catalysts, hydrolysis and ammonia slip catalysts as well as customer-specific special catalysts. Fields of application range from exhaust aftertreatment for on-road and off-road engines to stationary gas engines (biogas, natural gas, CHP units) and stationary sources such as roasting plants, furnaces and VOC reduction. In-house laboratories with gas test benches and a scalable, self-developed production system enable production from single pieces to series. The company also offers contract coating, prototype manufacturing, analytics services and catalyst recycling.
