Eindhoven, March 15, 2005 - Catalis has increased the capacity of its
US operation in Burbank, Los Angeles by another 50%. The increase
follows a doubling of the capacity in summer of 2004 and is a result
of a number of long term contracts Catalis has entered into with
major clients. Total capacity is now three times the levels of early
2004 while the number of employees has more than doubled from ~20 to
more than 40.
Based on the good start into 2004 the management of Catalis maintains
its full year revenue target of EUR 6.0 million or more with profits
of at least EUR 1.5 million.
