About Catalina Cylinders
Catalina Cylinders was founded in 1986 in California, initially producing scuba cylinders for divers along the West Coast. It quickly expanded to manufacture CO2 and oxygen cylinders for various industries. In 1992, Catalina was acquired by an aerospace forging company, Aluminum Precision Products (APP), boosting its production capabilities. By 1995, Catalina had purchased Parker Hannifin's Cliff Impact facilities, expanding to Hampton, Virginia, and establishing an East Coast presence.
Catalina became an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) company in 2009, aligning its growth and empowering its workforce with employee ownership. In 2015, it became an independent corporate entity. With the goal to become the number one supplier of compressed gas cylinders and technical impacts for all industries and applications, the company constantly improves the production process and increases the quality of its products.
