Founded in 1975 as a wholesale business by John Kaupp, JK Findings soon insourced their manufacturing process to better control supply chain quality and produce more innovative product offerings. Over its long history, Mr. Kaupp built JK Findings into an industry leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality jewelry findings, renowned for its excellent customer service.
In 2020 JK Findings was acquired by Latitude 27 Capital, LLC, a private investment firm that supports small and middle market companies. Under the new ownership, the Company will maintain its commitment to outstanding quality, delivery, and customer support while enhancing its new product development, geographic presence, and technological achievement.
