Our History
The Katalyst.
I answered my phone…
“I saw your new store, who built that for you?” “We did,” I said.
“Can you do that for me?”
I thought for a second. “Well yes, yes I believe we can!”
Todd Nutsch – Chief Executive Katalyst
Having operated multiple successful retail stores, we understand the complex and unique challenges faced by business owners. It was in searching for solutions to our own problems that Katalyst came to be. Although our customers’ projects quickly demanded that we expand our team with additional experts in the disciplines of design, manufacturing, engineering, and print, we still approach every project from the business owner’s point of view. Asking ourselves throughout the process, if this was our project how would we want to be treated, would we want to use that everyday, is this a good value and will it provide a good return on the investment? Therefore our strategy is based on a cost-effective approach to reach the market by offering consolidated services that are affordable and unique from concept to implementation. Being based in Manhattan, Kansas centrally locates us within the U.S.—minimizing shipping costs and diminishing delivery times. Coincidentally, it also places us in the back yard of Kansas State University, home to one of the nations top-ranked Interior Architecture and Product Design schools—giving us the opportunity to access and pass along an endless supply of cutting edge design and technological know how!
