Who Are we...better yet, How'd we get here?

By briging ultra-high resolution printing and trendsetting graphic design abilities to the Outdoor advertising market,...Specifically Vehicle Graphics, Fleet Markings and Commercial Wraps.

In fact Catalyst was awarded a contract to engineer, produce, instal, and wuality assure the most prolific projects at the time. Working with Ford and Shelby to lift the bar in installation quality and pushing the needle on breakthrough production speeds lead to being the concourse graphics vendor for such legendary cars as The Shelby GT-H Hertz Edition, Shelby GT, Supersnake, Don Prudhome, Shelby Turlingua, Shelby Barret Jackson Edition, 40th Anniversary GT, and the ultimate honor of completing the Legenday Ford SVT Shelby GT500KR.
