Overview: Karat Packaging manufactures and distributes single use foodservice packaging and related supplies, generating recurring orders from restaurants, distributors, retailers, and online buyers.
Karat Packaging matters for this Dividend Aristocrats screen because its core disposable foodservice products can create durable, repeat-order cash flows that help underpin a high payout stream.

Overview: Adams Diversified Equity Fund is a closed end fund that manages a diversified, dividend focused US equity portfolio for income seeking investors.
Operations: The fund generates about US$34 million from closed end fund activities, with all revenue tied to investments in United States listed securities.
