Catacel custom engineers and manufactures catalytic heat-exchanging materials that enable breakthroughs in production economics and energy efficiency. These materials allow customers in the fuel cell, hydrogen, gas-to-liquid, petrochemical and aerospace sectors to design smaller and lighter solutions of their own that are less costly and/or more energy efficient. Catacel completed its past fiscal year with 35% overall job growth, a 50% increase in workspace and 72% revenue growth.

The 2010 Inc. 5000 serves as a unique illustration of the profound changes taking place in the U.S. economy. Despite the fact that the measuring period (2006-2009) took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year.

This year's Inc. 5000 companies employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year's list. With unemployment remaining stubbornly high, policymakers and business leaders will do well to look to the Inc. 5000 companies for fresh ideas on achieving growth and creating jobs.
