Celtic Catalysts

Celtic Catalysts is an Irish biotechnology and specialty chemical company that specializes in the development of chiral synthesis technologies. Founded in 2000 as a spin-out from University College Dublin, the company leverages proprietary P-chiral ligand technology to produce high-value enantiomerically pure intermediates and catalysts. These products and services primarily support the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries in the development of complex small molecule drugs. The company's platform enables more efficient and cost-effective asymmetric synthesis processes, reducing waste and improving yield for drug manufacturers. In 2014, Celtic Catalysts was acquired by SESVanderHave, a global leader in the sugar beet seed industry, to enhance its internal research and development capabilities.
