High mileage titanium based Ziegler‐catalyst, aluminum alkyl cocatalyst systems are widely used in industry today to produce a broad spectrum of polyethylene grades. The performance of these catalyst systems is excellent because they are well adapted to the technical processes and able to produce an interesting product portfolio. It will be reported how these catalyst systems work, how they are formed, and how they can be utilized in technical processes. These catalyst systems can be regarded as a benchmark for further catalyst developments in industry. Their introduction in industrial processes represents a technological breakthrough.
