Up for the Challenge

Even in these challenging economic times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m excited to launch OnRAMP magazine.

The pandemic broke out just as we were preparing to put this first issue on press, but we remained undeterred to bring you this new magazine in partnership with the Pittsburgh Technology Council.

Catalyst Connection and the Pittsburgh Technology Council have a long and productive history of partnering to help manufacturers succeed. We are thrilled to bring you OnRAMP to show you the power and possibilities when manufacturing and technology join forces.

At Catalyst Connection, we know that manufacturing is, always has been and always will be essential to the economic vitality of our region and critical to our shared ability to thrive as a community. We hope that it will serve as a resource to showcase manufacturing and technology at its best.

We want to assure you that everyone on our team is here for you. Whether you need guidance, support, strategic direction or a partner, everyone at Catalyst is committed to being as responsive as possible and to maintaining business as usual. 

Catalyst has been positively impacting southwestern Pennsylvania’s manufacturing industry with strategic services around People, Products, Process and Finance to accelerate your growth and improve your productivity. We forge partnerships to bring new resources to our clients. We continually add new services to meet our clients’ needs and expand business opportunities.

We offer:

•    Organizational Development consulting services to create a culture of engaged employees.

•    Business Growth consulting services to focus on sales growth through new customers, new markets or new products.

•    Operational Excellence consulting services to help to produce better quality products faster and at a lower cost.

•    More than just a loan, we provide: assessments, advice, counseling, consulting and referrals to make a successful purchase.

•    Continuous improvement initiatives may not take any additional money from your company's finances.

Challenging times are undoubtedly ahead, but our industry is no stranger to adversity. We’ve weathered changes and challenges before while continuing to make and create the products and components that support critical infrastructure and industries. 

We will face these challenges together head-on, and we will come out stronger as businesses, as individuals and as a community. We think OnRAMP will serve as an important tool in the journey ahead. I hope that you enjoyed this first issue.
