Profile
Generates most revenue from custom folding cartons and security printing through Premier Packaging, alongside smaller commercial-lending, biotechnology, and securities-and-investment-management businesses. Its model combines operating subsidiaries, investments, and potential public listings or distributions of portfolio companies.
Product Packaging generates most revenue through Premier Packaging, which produces custom folding cartons, paperboard packaging, mailers, photo sleeves, direct-mail pieces, and commercial and security-printed materials. The West Henrietta operation primarily serves US customers and competes through custom folding-carton production, shorter-run service, and security printing.
Commercial Lending, Biotechnology, and Securities and Investment Management are smaller segments. Lending covers business credit, development, inventory, equipment finance, servicing, advisory, and capital-raising services; biotechnology combines development, licensing, partnerships, and wellness sales. The holding-company model acquires or forms subsidiaries, pursues revenue and operating improvements, and may list or distribute subsidiary shares. Broker-dealer and underwriting activity depends on SEC and FINRA standing, approvals, and supervisory controls.
