Overview
Are you sure you want to remember high school? If so, look to Jostens, the leading US producer of yearbooks and class rings. Class rings are sold on school campuses and through bookstores, retail jewelers, and the Web, while Jostens' sports rings commemorate professional sports champions (it has made 27 Super Bowl rings). Other graduation products include diplomas, announcements, caps, and gowns. The company sold its school photography business in mid-2006. Founded in 1897, Jostens was sold to a unit of CSFB in 2003. The next year Jostens was recapitalized and became part of a newly created publishing and marketing services company, Visant, co-owned by an affiliate of CSFB and KKR & Co.
