Eminox

What Eminox does

Eminox is a UK-based designer and manufacturer of exhaust aftertreatment systems (EATS) for heavy-duty diesel and gas-powered vehicles and equipment, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Gainsborough. The company operates within the Hexadex Group of Companies — a majority employee-owned engineering platform since September 2024 comprising 15 manufacturing locations across eight countries and a workforce of approximately 1,400. Eminox's core technology spans DOC/DPF systems for particulate matter reduction, SCR systems for NOx reduction, and combined PM+NOx architectures that achieve up to 99% emissions reduction. Proprietary platforms include the CRT® and SCRT® systems developed with Johnson Matthey since 1994, the EMx Controls ECU launched in 2020, and the Xpurge®/Veritex®/Vericat™/Veritrap™ cleaning and inspection technologies operated under the Ceramex brand. The group also encompasses SaveGuard (thermal and acoustic insulation, acquired June 2024) and Firehalt (passive fire protection, acquired 2025).

Eminox serves seven primary verticals — rail, power generation, on-road, marine, construction, agriculture, and alternative fuels — with embedded Tier 1/Tier 2 supply relationships to major OEMs including Volvo Penta, Bombardier, Alstom, Hitachi, and CNH Industrial/New Holland. The go-to-market combines direct OEM sales for new equipment, a retrofit and aftermarket channel accredited under Energy Saving Trust CVRAS and NRMM RAS schemes, channel partnerships (Paul Clark Services for UK on-road service, Diverse Marine for IMO Tier III marine upgrades), and direct e-commerce for Euro 6 replacement DPFs covering 80%+ of branded European trucks.

Revenue is generated through four primary streams: (1) hardware sales of modular EATS systems for engines ranging from 50kW to 10MW, (2) OE-quality replacement parts (DPFs, insulation components) with next-day delivery across the UK and Europe, (3) professional services for DPF cleaning, inspection, and remanufacturing through Ceramex service centers in the UK, Slovakia, US, India, and Japan, and (4) a managed Gold Service Package subscription offering fixed-cost annual maintenance with real-time telematics monitoring for UK fleet operators. Manufacturing is performed in the UK (Gainsborough), Slovakia (Svit), India (Chennai via the IPR Eminox JV), and the US (Eau Claire and Springfield).
