Over the last decade Korea has emerged as a leading player in the global automotive industry and Johnson Matthey plans to build a plant to manufacture emission control catalysts for a wide range of both diesel and petrol powered vehicles. The new facility will also carry out research and development activities and will include vehicle and engine emission test capabilities to support the Korean motor industry.
谅解备忘录是由环境催化剂和技术执行董事Larry Pentz和Gyeonggi省州长Hak-Kyu签署的。Gyonggi省的其他高级代表，伦敦的韩国大使馆和韩国贸易 - 投资促进局Kotra也参加了签字仪式。签署仪式结束后，韩国代表团进行了参观约翰逊·马特（Johnson Matthey）的欧洲自催化技术中心，以及罗伊斯顿（Royston）现场的广泛排放控制催化剂生产设施。
拉里·彭茨（Larry Pentz）在评论约翰逊·马特（Johnson Matthey）的投资计划时说：“我们认识到韩国汽车行业的重要性及其在全球车辆市场中的战略地位。此外，随着排放标准在整个地区继续收紧，韩国将成为亚洲最重要的重型柴油催化剂市场之一。我们认为，在韩国进行投资的时候是正确的，并且对我们与Gyeonggi省的关系感到非常满意。这是我们建立主要存在的理想场所，是这个关键市场。我们很荣幸索恩（Sohn）和他的代表团今天能够访问我们”
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Governor Sohn said: “We are delighted that Johnson Matthey has selected Gyeonggi province for this important investment. It is our aim to attract high technology companies, with progressive, long-term plans to establish R&D and manufacturing facilities in our province in order to serve Korea and the Asia region.
