Keyes was owned by a private-equity firm who decided to monetize their investment.

Management Participation:

Management participates in a substantial equity incentive program that rewards them for achieving their stated growth objectives.

Investment Success:

Since Tricor’s acquisition of Keyes, Keyes has acquired a number of competitors, including the leading North American manufacturer of plastic egg packaging.  In addition, Keyes has undertaken an expansion, grown its management team and entered new product lines.
