Trivest Partners, L.P. ("Trivest") today announced the sale of Jet Industries, Inc. ("Jet Plastica" or the "Company") to MCG Capital (NASDAQ:MCGC) and Boyne Capital Advisors.

During its ownership period, Trivest bolstered the management team, rationalized the manufacturing process and supported the Company's strategy to launch new products and enter new markets.

Troy Templeton, Trivest's Chief Operating Officer and Jet Plastica's Chairman of the Board said, "Jet Plastica was an outstanding investment for Trivest and its co-investors. Over the past few years, the Company has continued to seek operational improvements which drove sales and cash flow.
