McKechnie Limited
 PROFILE
McKechnie's products hold cars and planes together, and keep a creamy head on your beer. Fasteners, inserts, and bearings for aerospace, automotive, and telecommunications companies account for over half of McKechnie's sales. McKechnie's engineered plastics unit -- which has sold its automotive fluid-handling operations -- brings in brings in the rest. Plastics products include decorative trim and "widgets" (plastic devices inserted into cans of specialty beers such as Guinness to create a frothy head). The company's customers include Boeing, General Motors, and Nokia. McKechnie, which dates to 1871, was taken private in 2001 in a $631 million management buyout funded by equity firm Cinven.
