“Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.”
Who We Are
Catalyst Operating Group is a private investment firm that invests in and provides active operational leadership to small and lower middle-market manufacturing companies.
We are not a traditional financial acquirer or private equity firm. Rather, we are operators and entrepreneurs with a proven track record of successfully investing our own personal capital with a vision toward building and holding businesses for the long term. By leveraging our deep industry knowledge and management expertise, we create lasting value through operational improvements that drive sustainable profitability and growth into the future.
Simply stated, we don’t manage capital… we manage people.
