Palladium Benefits and Promotion

A reliable supply of palladium is essential to producing catalytic converters that protect the environment and public health. Palladium is also a key component in ongoing research and development of fuel cell technology because of its potential to allow safe, on-board transport of hydrogen in cars. Palladium is also used to produce electronic components for cellular phones, personal computers and fax machines. It has uses in the dental arena as well.

Norilsk Nickel's investment in Stillwater helps ensure the availability of a reliable ongoing supply of palladium to those manufacturers and other users worldwide. Reinvigorated through Norilsk Nickel's investment, Stillwater will be in a position to produce a reliable supply of metals for its customers. This means improved choice and ready supplies of palladium for consumers. Improved supply choice and reliability, in turn, will allow palladium users in the U.S. and throughout the world to continue to advance important research on additional uses of palladium.
