Bay Street Mfg. Acquiring CKI Solutions

Bay Street Manufacturing, the Canadian top-of-bed manufacturer behind the HealthGuard brand of residential and commercial bedding products, announced its acquisition of West Palm Beach, Florida-based CKI Solutions; creator of bedding accessories including the Bed MadeEZ mattress lifter and zip-off-top encasements, among other bedding products for the cruise, hospitality, hotel and retail sectors.

For more than 30 years, HealthGuard has been a market leader in premium hypoallergenic mattress protection, featuring No-Mite protection. Its products focus on enhancing sleepers’ health via an improved sleeping environment combined with outstanding comfort. Bay Street Manufacturing (HealthGuard) will now absorb, CKI Solutions, which operates as (dba) Cadence Keen Innovations and has been in business since 1996 selling hospitality-related products to every level of hotels and cruise lines such as Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Rosewood Hotels, Comfort Inn, Royal Caribbean and Carnival, among others, according to a news release.

“We are thrilled about our acquisition of CKI Solutions and its incredible products, customers, and relationships across the industry,” said Greg Hall, president of Bay Street Manufacturing, based in Concord, Ontario. “We look forward to a smooth continuation of the successful path charted by Sam Montross, Steven Gordon and everyone who made CKI Solutions a stellar company for nearly three decades.”

“The challenging part of selling our profitable company was to match the sale with a company who would continue the integrity of CKI Solutions, ensuring the customers, employees and suppliers would benefit from the growth under the new owner,” said Sam Montross, inventor and CEO of CKI Solutions. “Besides the ability to replace some overseas goods with quality Canadian and USA-made products, the most important factor was finding management who embraced the same sincere attitude of developing long-term relationships instead of just quick sales revenue.”
