		With HIT Entertainment in the process of taking over Gullane Entertainment, the future relationship between the Thomas the Tank Engine owner and Canadian associate Cambium Catalyst International remains in question.

		While Canadian entertainment and media companies have been scurrying to gain presence on the global market by way of mega-mergers - a la Alliance and Atlantis, Corus and Nelvana, bce and ctv - one Toronto-based producer/distributor has managed to remain independent and take the international scene by storm.
		A horizontally integrated company, independent from an equity and control point of view (Gullane owns one-third of its voting shares), Catalyst has forged a synergistic relationship with Gullane, a public company worth upwards of $700 million.
		What's most characteristic of Catalyst, which mainly produces and distributes children's programming, factual entertainment and family movies, is it has always been an exporting business, never dependent on the Canadian market.
