Industrial metals, processes, and development
We are an international company, with subsidiaries and sales offices in four countries. Our market reach is wide and extensive, from the Nordic countries to Asia and Australia.
All the precious metal-containing products we export are produced at our Norwegian factory in Hamar, where the group’s head office is also located.

Extensive experience with catalysts and industrial processes
K.A. Rasmussen began its production of catalysts in 1932 and has since actively worked to further develop its products in collaboration with large, international catalyst customers.
Our silver crystals are of the highest quality and feature a special surface that ensures solid performance, selectivity, and yield for our customers. Their low specific gravity also results in lower pressure drop and improved process control.

Research and Development
Research and development is an integrated part of our business. In close cooperation with industrial and technological environments, we continuously work to improve processes, material properties, and methods for the recycling and refining of precious metals.
Our work encompasses both the development of new alloys, the optimization of production technology, and analyses that ensure high and stable quality.
With modern laboratories, specialized expertise, and a clear focus on innovation, we contribute to solutions that strengthen both our own production and the value chains we are part of.
Industrial deliveries to customers worldwide
From our production in Norway, we deliver precious metals and technical solutions to industrial customers globally. With extensive experience, high metallurgical expertise, and strict quality requirements, we support everything from research and laboratories to demanding industrial processes – regardless of geographical market.
Customized catalyst systems
Catalyst systems for the oxidation of ammonia in nitric acid production are customized to suit the specific conditions of the given reactor. Combustion yield, lifetime/campaign length, PGM value for installation, and metal loss are calculated to ensure the best possible outcome for our customers.
This will be ensured for each reactor type (atmospheric, low, medium, or high pressure), all of which require their specific composition of PGM mesh packs.
