PROFILE |
 |
Privately held investment firm Dyson-Kissner-Moran, through takeovers and strategic acquisitions, has diversified its holdings to include businesses from manufacturing to arts and crafts. The firm typically uses its own capital to fund acquisitions and usually leaves them intact after the purchase. Founded in the mid-1950s, its purchases have included Household Finance and electronic-parts maker Kearney-National. DKM is controlled by the family of co-founder Charles Dyson (prominent philanthropist, LBO pioneer, and #5 on Richard Nixon's political enemies list), who died in 1997. His son Robert is DKM's chairman and CEO.
