Smyth Companies Announces Partnership with Novacap
Novacap’s stated mission is “to invest in middle-market companies that have the potential to become world leaders by helping to develop their markets, technology, and operations.”
Hickey states, “Five years ago, Smyth Companies began a strategy to reposition itself for the new world economy. We have successfully executed a customer-centric vision to build a platform for growth both organically and through acquisitions. Smyth’s leadership has reengineered the organization to better serve customers through cost savings and productivity enhancements. We have consolidated production facilities, invested in highly productive manufacturing assets along with employing significant efforts in Lean Manufacturing practices such as Six-Sigma and Kaizen events. We have also guided the company to be a world citizen by implementing sustainability and green initiatives such as LIFE ‘Label Initiative for the Environment’. In addition, Smyth was awarded the ‘Best of the Best Work Places in America’ by the Printing Industries of America.”
