TriMas Packaging, a developer and manufacturer of specialty dispensing and closure products, recently announced a new organizational approach for its global business. Effective immediately, TriMas Packaging is shifting from a market-centric organizational structure toward a product-focused structure. The reorganization ensures a consistent customer experience and product offering across all markets and regions globally. TriMas Packaging’s new structure reorganizes the Rieke, Taplast, Affaba & Ferrari, Plastic, and Rapak brands into three main product categories: dispensing systems, closures, and flexibles.

With the new and enhanced structure, TriMas Packaging is said to have built an agile organization ensuring that specific customer needs are identified at a very early stage. We expect customers to further benefit from the new structure by having access to a team of subject matter experts in all markets. Our product expert teams have a deep understanding of customer needs and market trends. By applying a holistic view of the needs of specific customers, it ensures innovations are developed faster, with the goal of increasing the competitiveness of TriMas Packaging’s clients. “We are celebrating our 100th anniversary this year, and the new structure lays the foundation for an even more successful future,” commented Fabio Salik, president of TriMas Packaging. “With our new structure, we ensure that our product and industry experts are even closer to our customers. Our customers benefit from a consistent brand experience, access to industry experts, and the fast delivery of innovations to help them improve their market position. We are more agile and closer to the market needs. As a global player, we ensure a unique and consistent customer experience across different markets and regions.”

TriMas Packaging is a global manufacturer and provider of products for a wide range of customers predominantly in the consumer product, aerospace, and industrial end-markets – with close to 3,200 employees in 11 countries. With its Rieke, Taplast, Affaba & Ferrari, Plastic and Rapak brands, TriMas Packaging develops and manufactures specialty dispensing and closure products for wide-ranging applications in the beauty and personal care, food and beverage, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical, industrial, and home care end-markets.

Dispensing products include foamer pumps, lotion pumps, fine mist sprayers, trigger sprayers, beverage dispensers, and flip-top caps, among others. Closures include beverage and tethered caps, aseptic caps, sport caps, flip-top caps, packaged food lids, child-resistant caps, tubes, jar and pail closures, as well as a variety of related industrial products, such as drum closures. Flexibles include a variety of bag-in-box solutions, flexible bags, and filling equipment. The Rieke business unit also has a full line of lock-down dispensers suitable for eCommerce, which meet Amazon’s stringent performance criteria. These value-added products are designed to enhance its global customers’ ability to dispense, transport, and store their products.

TriMas Packaging has a commitment to sustainability with a broad range of closures and dispensers made from post-consumer resin, as well as solutions to support a circular economy. TriMas Packaging is the first worldwide provider of a single-polymer-grade dispensing pump. The Mono-2e is a dispenser made from just one type of polypropylene, is already commercially available (to date, competitive products have only been announced), and embodies TriMas Packaging’s strength and market position.

Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive

The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.

As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.

We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.

The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
