Core offering

Meridian Industries is a privately owned diversified manufacturing holding company that contracts the manufacture of liquids, disposables, textile finishes, coatings, and specialty materials through five wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiaries.

Product overview

Meridian Industries is a privately owned diversified manufacturing holding company that operates as a single unified portfolio of five acquired manufacturing companies rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The portfolio consists of Kleen Test Products Corporation (contract manufacturing of consumer soft goods, liquids, and disposables), Aurora Specialty Textiles Group (textile coating and finishing), Kent Elastomer Products (precision rubber latex and thermoplastic tubing), Majilite Corporation (high-performance faux leather and suede), and Meridian Specialty Yarn Group (novelty yarn manufacturing and dyeing). Each subsidiary operates with autonomy while sharing ownership under Meridian's long-term investment philosophy.
