Trident, which employs approximately 250 people and has been a part of Sonoco for 13 years, offers customers world-class packaging pre-press services that deliver fully integrated and individually tailored graphics management solutions. Keating is a premier supplier of pre-press graphics in North America with fully automated rotogravure cylinder engraving operations, including North America's only laser-engraving capability. Keating's rotogravure engraving operations are located in Charlotte, N.C., and Chester, Va., and its flexographic plating operations are based in Oakville, Canada.
Rob Tiede, vice president, Global Flexibles and Services, said Sonoco's strategic decision to join together the operations was based on opportunities within the marketplace and the synergies that existed between Trident and Keating. He points out that the newly combined businesses create a $40 million organization for Sonoco that is truly global in nature.
"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," he explained. "It also means additional opportunities to leverage existing customer relationships and further enhance our 'one face' business philosophy with targeted consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies."
Tiede said the newly formed business will operate under the Trident brand. He said that in addition to the obvious global implications, it was determined the Trident name better represents the three primary arms of the business: production artwork, color separation and tooling.
"With a single leadership team, more focused goals and a single business strategy, we fully expect this new organization to be successful in delivering brand management solutions for packaging businesses across all global markets," he said.
