Based in Mason, Ohio, the C.M. Paula Company is a second-generation, family-owned holding company that pursues a model of acquiring, growing, and holding profitable businesses. It traces its origins to 1958 when Charles McCullough started as a greeting card supplier and later expanded into developing and marketing greeting cards, stationery, and novelty products; in 2005 it reorganized as a management company that buys and oversees a diversified group of firms. The firm’s current portfolio includes Up With Paper, GeoCentral, Art Metals Group, and Remtec Automation, reflecting a focus on manufacturing and product-focused enterprises. The organization presents itself as a collaborative partner to business owners, management teams, and the financial community. In October 2023, the company completed a $3.7 million expansion of its Mason headquarters, signaling continued commitment to its base and portfolio. With a footprint that spans several manufacturing-focused companies, C.M. Paula maintains a relatively small-to-mid-sized operation while coordinating diverse ventures from its Ohio base.
