Johnson Matthey A Growing Network of Technology Centres Global Operations 2002 Billingham, UK 1975 Sonning Common, UK 2011 Savannah, US 2015 Singapore • Figures (2011/12) • Gross R&D spend ~£135million • 1,200 people+ in R&D functions • ~ 270 scientists based at Technology Centres 2013/2014 Pretoria, S.Africa
Current and Future Research Capabilities Johnson Matthey Technology Centre in South Africa • Jan 2013 Modelling laboratory established at CSIR Pretoria • Aim to develop a centre of excellence in multi-scale, multi disciplinary modelling of materials and processes of relevance to Johnson Matthey. • Build on the JM tradition of fundamental research by conducting world class science within JM laboratories in collaboration with the local academic community. Core – Science Provides underpinning research for the development of new products and processes. Creativity, novel techniques and approaches to work, provide a sustainable science base. Academic Programmes link with Core-science and provide people, ideas, opportunity for blue sky research and fundamental scientific development.
