The US packing giant said it is to combine its Trident and Keating businesses into a single unit worth more than $40m.
The move will boost its market position, save costs and increase productivity, said the company. Trident, which employs around 250 people, is a packaging pre-press service. Keating is a supplier of pre-press graphics in North America with fully automated rotogravure cylinder engraving operations. The new business will operate under the Trident name.
Rob Tiede, vice president, Global Flexibles and Services, said: “In bringing the two operations together, we are creating a more diverse business with expanded graphics and service capabilities throughout North America, a goal that has been important to both Trident and Keating.”
