Innovation begins at our Corporate Strategic Research center, with the invention of new, active materials. Catalyst development and process evaluation progresses in our Process Research laboratories. Catalyst manufacture occurs at our state-of-the art Chemical Specialties Plant in Texas, with support from additional manufacturing capabilities in Japan. But we don't stop there. ExxonMobil catalysts are used extensively throughout our worldwide refining and petrochemical plants. This experience base in innovation, manufacture and use allows us to bring a unique perspective to the marketplace.
ExxonMobil catalysts have been used in over 100 commercial facilities throughout the world: in petrochemicals for the production of xylenes, ethylbenzene, and cumene via benzene alkylation; in refining for distillate and lubes dewaxing via cracking and selective isomerization; and in advanced hydroprocessing catalysts for hydrodearomatization and desulfurization.
And as the marketplace continues to put higher demands on catalytic technology, whether for improved desulfurization for low sulfur mogas and diesel, or increased VI for Group II/III lubricant production, we will continue to deliver next generation catalysts to meet those demands.
