In 1987, Ken Peterson, Chairman and CEO of CVC, invested in a closed aluminum smelter company in the state of Washington. Seeing the potential value in the substantial physical assets of the business, he reorganized the company's financing, created new operating agreements, and reopened the facility. Beginning with the success of this innovative business model in the aluminum industry, CVC has continuously invested in a wide range of strategic opportunities, focusing for the past three years on the international telecommunications industry.
