Company Overview
Snapshot
Founded in December 2024 by Gilad Lando, CatAmmon operates with 1–10 employees. The company has raised $1.85M across one funding round from two investors. In February 2025, CatAmmon secured pre-seed funding from NetZero Tech Ventures and Israel Innovation Authority.
Business overview
CatAmmon is an Israeli deep-tech startup developing a proprietary nano-ceramic catalyst platform to reduce precious metal dependency in automotive emission control and green hydrogen production from ammonia. Its lead product, CerAmmon, aims to cut PGM loading in catalytic converters by over 50% and reduce costs by 35%, while maintaining performance for Euro 7 emission standards. The company also offers CrackAmmon, designed to eliminate rare metals from ammonia cracking, reducing energy consumption and CapEx/OpEx by up to 50% for hydrogen production. CatAmmon targets the industrial technologies sector, serving markets such as automotive and new fuels, including hydrogen.
