At Dispatch, we love getting to know our customers on both a personal and professional level. In this Company Spotlight, we learn about Catapult, their culture, what they do, and how our services help them do it. Read on to learn about their kegerator, adorable office mascot, and more.
We‘re a marketing production company, and we help other businesses better communicate with their audiences. For example:
Catapult was started in 1972, as Merit Printing, by Ron Boerboom, and Gary Remer. Both of whom are still active in the company. Merit Printing lived in downtown Minneapolis until 2013 when we moved to St. Louis Park, MN, and changed our name to Catapult.
Catapult consists of 40 employees all located in St. Louis Park, MN.
We really focus on improving ourselves and having fun. We have regular BBQs, a pinball machine, a foosball table, and most importantly, a kegerator. We also have Hank. Hank is a Golden Retriever that attends our daily production meetings, and strictly enforces employee breaks for attention and games of fetch.
We have very loyal employees with an average tenure of over 10 years. This level of dedicated experience is vital in solving problems for our customers.
We want to continue to grow by offering unique and new solutions that help our customers communicate their message.
Our customers are awesome! We have built very strong relationships with them that are founded on solving business and marketing problems together.
What beer to load into our kegerator next.
We send out a lot of proofs to customers for them to 'ok' before we start producing a job. These are typically time-sensitive and in order to complete a job on schedule, the proofs need to go out and get back quickly and...not get lost. We also ship the final product with Dispatch.
We used to have problems (especially on Fridays) with time-sensitive shipments not even being picked up by the time they were supposed to deliver, but Dispatch changed that. We love Dispatch's tracking and customer service! Keep up the awesome work!
