BM Catalysts reports significant growth in 2022
BM Catalysts has reported a successful year of growth in 2022, saying it experienced high demand throughout the year.
The manufacturer of aftermarket catalytic converters, DPFs and front pipes, opened its third manufacturing plant last year in the UK for final assembly.
BM Catalysts says its three hi-tech manufacturing facilities enables it to stock over 60,000 parts, covering 95 per cent of the European car parc, while also developing up to 300 new-to-range parts each year.
Once at full capacity, the company adds that it will allow additional capacity of up to 200,000 units per year.
BM Catalysts highlights how even throughout the pandemic and Brexit, it still managed to keep stock levels high, meaning availability remained at approximately “99 to 100 per cent”.
The company claims its ongoing growth is also down to its continual investment during the pandemic and Brexit both in its plants and machinery. This includes a significant six-figure investment in new additional hi-tech machinery to help further increase productivity and capacity, and in its research and development of new-to-range parts.
In 2022, BM Catalysts also launched a dedicated European company, BM Catalysts EU Ltd, to facilitate the “smoothest possible trading” with European partners and help fulfil demand for its products.
BM Catalysts already has an established presence in Europe having built long-term relationships with distributors in the region over the past decade. Here in Ireland, the brand is represented through Top Part and Serfac.
The formation of BM Catalysts EU allows partners to trade with an EU-based company, simplifying many of the existing processes in place for working with a UK business.
What’s more, BM Catalysts also launched a range of Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) references early last year, with considerably strong launch sales reported across Europe and the UK.
Commenting on 2022, commercial director at BM Catalysts, Mark Blinston, said: “It’s been a great year for BM Catalysts, as we continue to focus on what our customers want, and that’s quality, range and availability.
“Looking ahead, it’s clear that continued growth is on the horizon, and we will continue to make valuable investments to ensure we can meet market demand and customer satisfaction.
“It’s definitely an exciting time for the automotive aftermarket, with plenty of opportunities available and we look forward to doing all we can to maintain our industry-leading position as the number one supplier for hot-end emissions products.”
