    Company description: Catalytic Solutions Inc. (CSI) develops and manufactures high performance, low cost catalytic coatings for catalytic converters used by automobile manufacturers and aftermarket suppliers. CSI's breakthrough technology surpasses conventional technology in terms of stability at high temperatures and aging durability, without the high levels of very costly platinum group metals (PGM), which comprise Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium.
    CSI varies its coating composition by processing parameters and firing temperatures to produce catalytic coatings that are tailored to specific application requirements. Because the coatings are oxide compounds built with a wide range of chemical constituents, all application and performance capabilities are possible.
    CSI was founded in 1996 by Dr. Steve Golden after 15 years of research in order to focus on advanced materials technologies for the application to auto catalysts. CSI is currently a privately held company with strong financial backing.
