Des Plaines, IL – June, 2010 – Key Principal Partners Corp. (“KPP”), a $1 billion private investment firm, announced the realization of its junior capital investment in Cloud Packaging Solutions, LLC (Cloud) as a result of the sale of Cloud’s food and beverage packaging divisions to Ryt-Way Industries. Cloud (www.cloudps.com) is a leading niche contract packager serving the food and beverage, consumer, industrial, pharmaceutical and personal care end markets; the company also manufactures its own proprietary packaging equipment line.

KPP originally invested $10 million in March 2005 to refinance the existing indebtedness at Cloud. In October 2007, KPP provided an additional $4 million to finance Cloud’s acquisition of Automated Packaging, Inc., a contract packager of bottled liquids. In September 2009, KPP invested $2.5 million to help the Company acquire Toll Packaging, a medium-speed contract packager.
