Dorf Ketal Speciality Catalysts LLC ("Dorf Ketal") will be the exclusive manufacturer of Methes PP-MEC Catalyst.

As previously disclosed via press release on July 22nd, 2014, Methes announced that it was officially launching a new pre-treatment process for high free fatty acid (FFA) biodiesel feedstocks, including non-food grade corn oil, on August 28th, 2014 via a webinar hosted by Biodiesel Magazine.

The fact that they can manufacture our PP-MEC catalyst is great and gives us the peace of mind that we were looking for. I believe that the market potential is enormous for this new process so we wanted to make sure that we had a catalyst manufacturer that would be able to follow our growth not only in North America but around the world."
