Seattle Supplier Rebrands as Catalynt

January 9, 2024

Seattle’s TRInternational, a provider for raw materials and ingredients since 1994, is rebranding as Catalynt Solutions, Inc.

Megan Gluth-Bohan, the company’s CEO & Owner, announced the company’s name change in a video release, which also debuted a new logo and brand colors.

As Catalynt heads into its 30th year in business, Gluth-Bohan says the new branding better reflects where the company stands today. The new name is a combination of the words “catalyst” and “talent,” both of which, Gluth-Bohan says, capture her team’s energy, skillset and dedication to hard work.

“When you add those two words together, you get one powerful word that really describes who we are,” she said. “But we’re still the same hardworking team of people committed to your business.” 

Along with the rebrand, Catalynt has acquired the companies ChemBlend of America, LLC, and American Chemie, Inc. The Illinois-based ChemBlend’s custom solutions capabilities and extensive on-site lab services will expand Catalynt’s offerings in formulating, manufacturing, testing, packaging and distribution. The specialty distribution expertise of Texas-based American Chemie, meanwhile, expands Catalynt’s services in the personal care, cosmetics, cleaning, food, feed, nutraceuticals and lubricant spaces.

“With these companies now working together as one, we can truly match the speed and agility our customers require,” Gluth-Bohan says. “When we’re all under this new umbrella of Catalynt, we’re a more robust company that will work even faster, smarter and better than before.”

For nearly 30 years, Catalynt has solved raw materials and ingredients sourcing problems across the globe. They serve a wide variety of industries – paints and coatings, cleaning, food and beverage, personal care and pharmaceuticals, oil and gas, and more.

Gluth-Bohan joined Catalynt in 2012 as General Counsel and quickly moved from General Manager to President and then to CEO. She took on full ownership in 2021. She was named a 2023 Mountain West Entrepreneur of the Year by Ernst & Young and one of 2023’s Women2Watch by the Women Presidents Organization (WPO). The Puget Sound Business Journal has recognized Catalynt many times over the years – as the largest LGBTQ-owned company, one of the top 50 women-owned companies and one of the fastest growing women-owned companies in the Puget Sound region.
