According to New Jersey Economic Development Authority chief executive officer Caren S. Franzini, “The growth of technology and life sciences companies in New Jersey is critical to our economy, and Rive Technology exemplifies the kind of innovative businesses we are encouraging to locate in the state. We are very excited to welcome Rive Technology to New Jersey and thrilled that, after a nationwide search, the company has chosen to open its research lab in Einstein’s Alley.”

The new R&D facility currently employs a catalyst development team of eight individuals, and the number of employees based at the facility is expected to almost double in size this year. The company continues to expand its team and is hiring experienced chemical engineers, scientists and lab technicians to support R&D activities aimed at optimizing the performance of Rive’s zeolite catalyst technology and driving product commercialization.
