Keystone Capital Celebrates 1-Year Partnership with StartKleen
Keystone Capital Management, L.P. (“Keystone”) is excited to celebrate the one-year anniversary of its partnership with Rick Kimbrell and his outstanding team at StartKleen Legacy, LLC and StartKleen Solutions, LLC (collectively, “StartKleen” or the “Company”). The recapitalization was completed in collaboration with Company management and KCM Capital Partners (“KCM”).
StartKleen is a provider of mission-critical food safety, cleaning and sanitation services to the U.S. food processing industry. The Company has built a strong legacy of providing comprehensive, reliable cleaning solutions to a diverse customer base primarily within the food processing market. StartKleen has become a trusted partner for food processing plants seeking best-in-class Food Safety and Quality Assurance (“FSQA”) protocols, rigorous management oversight, operational transparency, and minimized production downtime. These value propositions drive superior outcomes for customers, employees, and end consumers alike.
“The best jobs can be measured by how fast time moves. The first year of partnership with Keystone and KCM has flown by, and we have achieved great results together,” said StartKleen’s founder and CEO, Rick Kimbrell, who continues to lead the Company.
StartKleen represents a continuation of Keystone’s expertise in the facility and commercial services sector. “We could not be more pleased with this partnership. As we enter our second year together, we look forward to building upon our strong organic growth momentum with an eye towards strategic M&A,” said Todd Lanscioni, Managing Director of Keystone Capital.
