    Miniaturization, biocompatibility, and durability are now essential requirements for many components in medical technology. Platinum remains the material of choice for meeting these requirements, but the quality of the coating is crucial to the performance of the end product. PLATUNA® PT enables the production of very uniform, dense, and abrasion-resistant platinum coatings on almost all metals. Layers up to 50 micrometers thick increase the service life of sensitive components and enable the integration of microstructures to ensure precise functionality.

    Portable electronics help us stay connected, especially during holidays whether you're navigating new places, snapping photos, sharing memories, or calling loved ones back home. You can't see us, but our Umicore advanced materials are there too, powering your devices from enabling facial recognition to making them functional. And when your electronics reach the end of their life, we help bring them back to life through recycling. What’s the one electronic you can’t leave the house without? #UmicoreSummer

    We had the pleasure of giving a presentation at ISOM 25 in Liège, Belgium a special edition of the International Symposium on Olefin Metathesis that also marked the 20th anniversary of the Nobel Prize awarded to Robert H. Grubbs, Richard R. Schrock, and Yves Chauvin for their groundbreaking work in the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis. As part of the celebration, we proudly awarded two poster prizes to recognize outstanding contributions. At Umicore PMC, we continue to build on this legacy by offering Grubbs Catalysts® at industrial scale, up to multi-ton quantities, enabling innovation from lab to production. As recently announced, we are moreover expanding our state-of-the-art production facility in Catoosa, USA, further strengthening our global supply capabilities and commitment to customer-driven growth in homogeneous catalysis. Let’s create good chemistry. Together.

    Today we shared our half-year results for 2025. We’ve had a solid first half of the year with earnings well up versus the previous year, driven by sustained demand and Group-wide operational efficiency measures within a supportive metal price environment. We had a strong performance in our foundation businesses and a gradual ramp-up of contracts in Battery Cathode Materials. This encouraging performance in a dynamic global context highlights the quality of our businesses as well as our continued focus on operational efficiencies and rigorous capital deployment across the Group.

    Recently BMW began road-testing the BMW i7 equipped with large-format solid-state batteries using Umicore’s cathode active materials. Solid-state batteries are a next generation battery technology that goes beyond what is possible with lithium-ion technology. Think higher energy density and consequently improved electric range. Turning this potential into real-world performance requires cutting-edge R&D and close industry cooperation. That’s why we're proud to collaborate with BMW Group and Solid Power, Inc. to advance in next-generation battery technologies.

    Last week in Munich, I had the chance to test-drive the BMW i7 that is equipped with an all-solid-state battery, powered by Umicore’s cathode materials. Solid-state batteries promise higher energy density and consequently improved electric range. The BMWi7 is a beautiful example of what is possible when you combine automotive ambition with Umicore’s expertise in chemistry, materials science and metallurgy. At Umicore, we are proud to contribute to this breakthrough with BMW Group and Solid Power and we are eager to continue to build partnerships that shape the future of mobility. #ProudToBeUmicore

    7월 24일, 유미코아는 파리에서 열린 충청남도 주최 투자양해각서(MoU) 체결식에 참석했습니다. 이번 협약식에는 유미코아 배터리 양극재 사업부의 SVP Operations & Refining 인 Matt Cherevaty 씨가 참석한 가운데, 충청남도와 천안시는 공장 라인 증설에 필요한 각종 정부 인허가를 포함해 다양한 인센티브와 행정적 지원을 약속했습니다. 유미코아는 배터리 소재 사업부가 1999년 한국에 진출한 이후 25년 이상 꾸준한 신규 및 증설 투자를 통해 고용을 늘려왔으며, 이제는 충청남도와 천안시를 대표하는 외국계 기업으로 자리 잡았습니다. 앞으로도 지역사회와 함께 성장하며, 지속 가능한 배터리 소재 공급을 위한 여정을 이어가겠습니다. https://lnkd.in/ePqsMUDp #Umicore #지속가능성 #배터리소재 #충청남도 #천안시 #지속적인성장

    Since he was a kid, Danilo was curious to know about how things work and fascinated about how technology can transform and solve complex issues. That's exactly what he does as a test bench engineer at our Automotive Catalysts plant in Americana, Brazil - making sure that our technology is the best to make the air we breath cleaner.
