Catalina Tool & Mold was founded in 1973 and quickly developed a reputation for engineering and manufacturing close-tolerance, high quality tools. Over the years Catalina has been able to grow by initiating new ideas and investing in the latest technology. It has been the company's policy to provide close technical support to its customers and to offer early input in the product-design phase of a project. The company has enhanced its technical expertise by investing in advanced technologies such as, CNC high speed machining centers, EDM sinkers and Wire EDM equipment, molding presses for customer product sampling and CAD/CAM hardware and software. CTM continues to make significant investments needed to remain an industry leader. These investments include information systems, engineering templates, and additional resources aimed at increasing quality while reducing cost and delivery times. CTM maintains an NTMA and state approved apprentice program to ensure continuity of training skilled craftsmen. The adoption of a TQM philosophy in 1990 has also played a major role in increasing the employee's contribution to the success of the company and Customer Driven Quality. In 1996, CTM was one of the first mold making facilities to certify to the ISO 9001-1994 standard. During 2002, CTM achieved certification to the new ISO 9001-2000 standard. Since 2002, CTM expanded its capabilities to include production molding and Concept To Market programs in order to diversify into growth markets. CTM has become a one-stop facility to produce products from concept to a fully marketable product. Starting in 2004, Concept To Market products and services expanded to software and electronic solutions including hardware. In January of 2006, Catalina Tool & Mold changed its name to Catalina Technology Management in order to represent our expanding range of worldwide capabilities. Catalina Technology Management will continue to grow while maintaining the same dedication to excellence and providing impeccable service with commitment to Quality, Delivery and Total Cost, which has always been our focus in satisfying customer needs with ever increasing effectiveness.
