About Catalytic Solutions, Inc.

Catalytic Solutions operates in the field of catalysis, offering catalyst-based solutions for clean utilization of fossil fuels. Catalytic Solutions was successfully admitted to AIM (AIM:CTS and CTSU), a market operated by the London Stock Exchange plc, in November 2006. The Company is focused on the creation, manufacture and supply of emission control catalysts for motor vehicle (gasoline and diesel engines) and energy applications (gas turbines, boilers, gensets). Catalytic Solutions' catalysts are designed to deliver high value to customers while benefiting the global environment through air quality improvement, sustainability and energy efficiency. With over eight million parts supplied to customers since 1996, Catalytic Solutions' proven technical and manufacturing competence meets auto makers' most stringent requirements. In December 2007, the Company acquired Engine Control Systems (ECS), a manufacturer of technology-based emission control systems giving Catalytic Solutions access to European manufacturing, product testing and development. ECS develops, manufactures and supplies a full range of custom-built technology-based and standard emission control products for original equipment, aftermarket and retrofit applications. The products are used for treating harmful exhaust emissions primarily in the heavy-duty diesel market. ECS' technology-based products change or modify the nature of the exhaust gases, thereby reducing hazardous elements rather than simply attenuating noise. In August 2006, the Company acquired certain tangible and intangible assets from Applied Utility Systems (AUS) and established Applied Utility Systems, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as the operating company for the new business. AUS is engaged in designing and installing systems related to the clean and efficient use of fossil fuels outside of their use in motor vehicles. The Company currently has operations in the USA, Canada, France, Japan, Sweden and an Asian Joint Venture.
