The Meridian companies are manufacturing leaders
supporting customers in a variety of industries - from
industrial and print media fabrics to medical tubing,
luxury upholstery fabrics, household and personal care
products, novelty yarns and much more. All five of
the Meridian companies are proud to be American-based
manufacturers that provide high quality products,
short lead times and consistent,
reliable service. In many of our markets we are one of
the few domestic manufacturers still thriving, aligning well
with the current resurgence of companies bringing business back to the United States
and the demand for American-made products.
Meridian Industries is not a
private equity firm. Private equity firms
continuously buy and sell portfolio companies and have
very short-term investment windows. Meridian makes
long-term investments in its companies with the intent
of permanent ownership. Each of our five operating
companies has been a part of the Meridian family for
well over two decades.
Our philosophy is to
push our companies to keep growing and
evolving, by expanding into new products and markets and
continually investing in new manufacturing equipment,
facilities and technologies. Our decentralized
structure allows each company to operate with a sense of
autonomy and an
entrepreneurial spirit. Our inherent financial strength and stable family
ownership provide an environment that supports
continuous reinvestment of capital and expedited
decision making.
A firm believer in doing business
the right way, Meridian companies adhere to a high
standard of corporate ethics. We try not to take
shortcuts. Treating all third-party constituencies -
customers, suppliers and service providers - with
a sense of respect, fairness, honesty and long-term
partnership is the standard for how we conduct business.
Furthermore, Meridian is committed to ensuring the
safety, career development, and long-term retention of
all our employees, and we recognize that our success is
a result of their hard work and ingenuity.
