• Who are we ?

Rhodia Electronics & Catalysis provides performance products for electronics and catalysis markets.

With production and research centers located in key areas in the USA, Japan, China and France, our enterprise is widely recognized for its technological and process know-how.

 

Our products, mainly rare-earths based, provide high technological applications and innovations: precursors for electronic ceramics (SUPERAMIC™), high performance polishing powders (CEROX™, OPALINE™), high purity solvents for wafer manufacturing (RHODIASOLV™), medical imaging or luminescence... The mastering of catalysis related technologies provide applications for environment or automotive emissions control (Fuel-borne catalyst for the regeneration of diesel particulate filters EOLYS™, advanced materials for catalytic converters ACTALYS™, materials for Fuel Cells, chemical catalysis...).

Our products also provide efficient and economic solutions for the manufacturing of numerous materials (coloration of ceramics, functional additives for polymers...).

Providing services that create value, proposing innovations that help companies to grow, developing solutions that suit specific needs are part of our culture of results. But over and above product quality and international experience, satisfying our customers means to be close to them. Everywhere. That's our ambition. Our philosophy.

• Our philosophy

Dialogue as a Basis for Partnership

At Rhodia Electronics & Catalysis, we ask our customers for their advice, suggestions and recommendations. It is our opinion that customers who ask us questions and share their concerns or complaints with us are customers who have confidence in our company and believe in our commitment to the pursuit of excellence.

Dialogue as a Basis for Continuous Improvement

Through their recommendations or complaints, our customers show us the areas in which we have to progress, thereby giving us the opportunity to improve ourselves to better serve them. Seeking solutions together mutually strengthens us.

Dialogue as a Strategic Tool

Listening to our customer's concerns regularly and responding to their requests rapidly allows us to ceaselessly improve our operations, our performance, and avoid repeating a problem in the future.

Dialogue as an Opportunity

We look at our customers' concerns as a real opportunity for progress. It is a chance for Rhodia Electronics & Catalysis to reiterate its commitment to them and to demonstrate its strengths and capabilities as worldwide leader in the Rare Earths industry.
