Nitto Denko Corporation (headquartered：Osaka, Japan, President：Hideo Takasaki, Hereafter Nitto), a global leader in advanced materials innovation, and Numat Technologies, Inc. (headquartered： Chicago, Illinois, USA, Founder & CEO: Benjamin Hernandez, hereafter Numat), a pioneer in metal-organic framework (“MOF”) materials, announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of next-generation decarbonization technologies. The partnership will focus on advancing separation solutions that address critical challenges in energy efficiency across key industrial sectors.
MOFs represent a breakthrough class of programmable materials that enable selective control of molecular interactions at the atomic level and are uniquely suited to enhance existing separation and purification technology to enable more efficient industrial processes.
As part of the partnership, Nitto has also made a strategic investment in Numat.
The partnership brings together Nitto’s global customer base, advanced materials expertise, and manufacturing infrastructure with Numat’s chemistry design capabilities and proprietary MOF manufacturing platform. By combining these complementary strengths, the companies aim to accelerate the deployment of high-value-added products addressing urgent challenges in industries such as energy and chemicals.
Founded in 1918, Nitto Denko Corporation is a global pioneer in materials science, delivering state-of-the-art solutions across industries including electronics, mobility, life sciences, environment, and infrastructure. From turning ocean water into drinking water to enabling safer vehicles, sharper displays, and more sustainable industrial processes, Nitto’s proprietary technologies and constant pursuit of innovation contribute to solving real-world challenges. With a strong global presence since its entry into the Americas in 1968, Nitto continues to develop functional materials that enhance everyday life and power the future of industry.
Numat is the market leader in Metal-Organic Frameworks (”MOFs”), a transformative precision chemistry platform that reduces the negative impact of chemical products and processes on human health and the environment. MOFs can be designed, atom-by-atom, to capture and separate hazardous chemicals in ways limited by traditional methods. Numat offers a total solutions platform for MOF commercialization, integrating advanced design and application development expertise with high volume manufacturing infrastructure. Through this platform, Numat is delivering mission critical solutions to customers in the industrial, defense, semiconductor and energy sectors.
