Jostens

[7] As well as its headquarters near Minneapolis and operational offices in Owatonna, Minnesota, Jostens has facilities in Clarksville, Tennessee; Denton, Texas; Eagan, Minnesota; Laurens, South Carolina; Sedalia, Missouri; Shelbyville, Tennessee; the Dominican Republic; and Mexico.

In 1906, its year of incorporation, Josten added class rings to his product line, the market being the Midwest.

In 2003, Jostens was acquired by private equity firm DLJ Merchant Banking, a subsidiary of aPriori Capital Partners.

The following year, in 2004, DLJ and KKR formed Minneapolis, Minnesota-based Visant Corporation.

[11][12] On October 14, 2015, consumer products manufacturer Jarden acquired Jostens from Visant Corporation, stating that it planned to take advantage of synergies with its other properties (particularly Rawlings and Yankee Candle), and "turn it into a true consumer-product business, as opposed to it historically being run like a printing asset".
