    With over 40 years of proven expertise, AM&C is expected to deliver immediate earnings and cash flow accretion, reinforcing Technip Energies’ financial profile and unlocking new value-creation opportunities.

    Arnaud Pieton, CEO of Technip Energies, commented: “Closing this transaction is an important milestone in the evolution of Technip Energies. With Advanced Materials & Catalysts, we are combining a differentiated catalysts and advanced materials platform with our process technologies and engineering expertise, creating an integrated offering that helps our customers to improve efficiency, reliability and emissions performance across their assets.

We are very happy to welcome Advanced Materials & Catalysts teams and look forward to working together to deliver the next phase of growth for our customers and stakeholders.”

    Kurt Bitting, CEO of Ecovyst, commented: “As a leading provider of technologies that are highly-valued by the energy industry, we believe Technip Energies provides the scale and technology development expertise that will further enhance product development and market reach for the Advanced Materials & Catalysts business. We want to thank our Advanced Materials & Catalysts colleagues for their dedication and contributions over their tenure with Ecovyst, and we wish them continued success in the future as part of the Technip Energies organization.”

    Paul Whittleston, President of Advanced Materials & Catalysts, said: “With the completion of this transaction, we reach an important milestone for Advanced Materials & Catalysts. As part of Technip Energies, we can now scale, accelerate innovation and deliver even greater value for our customers, while contributing together to a more sustainable future.
