It’s here.

The dreaded holiday hangover was upon everyone who experienced the mother of all Mondays. The last few weeks are a blur and reality has set in. Once the out-of-office notification expired, the only thing between you and that avalanche of emails, voicemails, and unfinished to-do lists was a strong cup of coffee. We feel your pain.

While ’26 isn’t waiting around for anybody, it’s best to ease back into it all. Take a quick break … you’ve earned it! Hopefully, our little video is enough inspiration to jump right back in, full steam ahead.

We’re happy to share some of our holiday memories and hope that you had a safe and joyous time with family and friends, as well as a well-deserved break. When you are ready, just reach out. At Catalyst, we love what we do and we’re excited to see what our clients have in store for us in 2026!

It’s a New Year, let’s get the ball rolling!

The holidays are better when we come together.

Our team stepped up to support Marine Toys for Tots Foundation Indianapolis, helping spread some extra joy to kids in our community—and it was inspiring to see the generosity in action. We’re grateful to be part of a team (and a community) that shows up, especially this time of year.

Happy Holidays from all of us at Catalyst!

Grateful when it all comes together!
This turkey is showing off more than tail feathers—it's flaunting the full spectrum of what we get to create with you.

Catalyst goes all out to design, engineer, prototype, manufacture, and assemble amazing, new things because we’re thankful for every opportunity to turn great ideas into real-world solutions.

To our clients and partners: thank you for trusting us with your innovations. We’re truly grateful to do what we do with and for you.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Catalyst team!

Today’s team lunch was the perfect warm-up for Thursday’s feast, and it came with a new tradition: the first-ever Catalyst Hand Turkey Creation Contest.
Congrats to this year’s champions:
🏆 Eleanor Coffin
🥈 Paul Zink
🥉 Andrew Mendenhall
The rest of us? There's always next year (and definitely more glitter).

As we wrap up another year of innovation and collaboration, we’re grateful for the clients and partners who make it all possible. Thanks for being part of the Catalyst family.

This is what it's all about! STEAM Night at Indianapolis Indians was a great opportunity to showcase a bit of what it takes to create a new product from scratch.

Students from pre-school to college engineering students stopped by to chat and get an idea of why we love what we do every day. Hopefully, we were able to ignite a spark in a few of the fans we had the pleasure of visiting with!

It's always a good day when your workday includes fantastic weather, great people, and of course, watching baseball! They know how to put on a game over there at Victory Field!

From Kickoff to Trade Show Floor in 125 Days.

What do you do when a global brand hands you a bold idea, a hard deadline, and zero margin for error?
You build.

Catalyst took the concept for the Heinz REMIX—an interactive, self-serve sauce dispenser—and turned it into a fully functional product ready for live use at the National Restaurant Association Show… in less than six months.

We delivered:
An intuitive touchscreen UI
An innovative system for 200+ flavor combinations
Internal mechanics that prevent cross-contamination
A clean, service-friendly design that works in real-world environments

All while managing the timeline, the pressure, and the ex*****on.
This is what Catalyst does.

Fast, focused, full-scope product development—from concept to launch, on deadline.

Developing a complex, new product with a hard launch deadline is a formidable challenge, even for a global brand with deep resources.

Whew! A lot can happen in a few weeks! While we were busy launching an entirely new website, volatile have taken U.S. companies on a wild ride.

Despite the 90-day pause, no one knows how this will all shake out. In the meantime, shipping will be slow, logistics are increasingly difficult to tame and 30% tariffs erode the benefits of overseas production. If your company is looking for some calm in the storm, we have a quick solution for you to consider.

Domestic manufacturing reduces risk. is economically viable and we can accelerate the process for you. Read up on how Catalyst can help in this article. You really should see the new website anyway!

Recent tariff fluctuations have underscored the vulnerabilities in global supply chains. Companies that respond by shifting production to the U.S. avoid the increased cost and risk.
