Catalyst sourced a highly experienced management team to lead an industry consolidation strategy.

-
Market share and margins were enhanced by improvements in B&D’s
service proposition and customer relationships as well as significant
investment in the B&D brand.
-
Cost savings were achieved in the existing B&D business as the
head office function was moved to Queensland and manufacturing
efficiencies were realised.
