The Catalyst Group Resources, Inc. (TCGR) is pleased to announce the launch of its biannual publication entitled "Intelligence Report: Business Shifts in the Global Catalytic Process Industries 2003-2009," the tenth edition of the series produced since 1986. From the inception, these reports have been recognized as the standard in the industry and have been consistently quoted by the press, e.g., Chemical Week, Chemical & Engineering News, etc., as well as other publications. The report has evolved and has been re-scoped based on our clients' needs to be global in content and perspective. It has been used by leaders in the chemical, refining, and polymer industries to successfully conduct their business, as well as provide them with competitive benchmarking strategies and insight into this highly dynamic marketplace.

New business and technology perspectives that the tenth edition will deliver to you include extensive forecasts and strategic analyses of the global catalyst industry, with features on developments in "gas-to-liquids" (GTL) and "gas-to-chemicals" (GTC) technologies as well as an emphasis on the Eastern European refining/petrochemicals market. Also included are:

• More comprehensive and concise presentation and review of business statistics, strategies, and growth opportunities.
  
  
• Understanding the impact of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and how they will affect the future refining, petrochemical, specialty chemical, and polymer catalyst markets. These M&A's have created very large global companies with the capability of leveraging their technologies to ensure sustainable growth. They have also become very formidable mega-global catalyst purchasers with considerable buying power.
  
  
• A review of new and existing high growth opportunities in supply, process technology licensing, and raw materials.
  
  
• How the global refining industry will meet the stricter specifications, e.g., lower sulfur limits being imposed on transportation fuels.
  
  
• The growth of metallocene and single-site organometallics in polymerization catalysis relative to Ziegler-Natta systems, including overall industry value and end-market penetrations.

Market and technology intelligence, commercial insight, business strategies and tactics, and value-added new management ideas are a sample of the benefits provided by our "Intelligence Report" series. Just as we have for the past 18 years, TCGR will continue to supply the leading-edge information required to successfully sustain and grow your business in today's dynamic marketplace.
