PMR to triple catalytic converter processing output with new AI-powered facility
The 25,000 sqft facility in North Carolina will cost roughly $6 million for infrastructure and technology
PMR USA has made a $6 million investment in a new 25,000-square-foot facility outside of Charlotte, in Gastonia, North Carolina. The new facility reinforced PMR's long-term growth strategy and commitment to advancing innovation in the catalytic converter processing industry.
Scheduled to open in early 2026, the new facility will feature custom-engineered, AI-integrated machinery — developed in-house — to enable one-touch processing that will reduce material handling, increase security, and triple the output of traditional systems — all while enabling real-time mass balancing.
"Our approach is simple — we're building something new, engineered to exceed what came before. In a space where margins are tight, evolving our operations is essential to securing our future. We're proud to be the first converter processor to integrate AI technology into our processing lines, making our operations more future-ready and efficient," said Christian Thibault, CEO of PMR USA.
