LDI (Lacy Diversified Industries) is a family office with more than a century of experience funding and operating high-potential, middle-market companies. Over the last 25 years, LDI has invested in six platform companies, three of which are current holdings. In 1912, Howard J. Lacy, Sr. co-founded U.S. Corrugated Fiber Box Company in Indianapolis, Indiana. Over the next 72 years, the Lacy family built the company to become one of the nation's largest independent, non-integrated producers of corrugated shipping containers. The sale of U.S. Corrugated in 1984 provided momentum for LDI as it sought to acquire majority ownership positions in other high-growth industries. By 1990, LDI had acquired three new operating companies. Today, LDI businesses employ more than 3,000 people in more than 20 countries. The firm traditionally looks for businesses with EBITDA between $2 million and $10+ million. Portfolio companies have combined revenues of $1.2 billion and employ 1,500 people globally.
