TricorBraun has announced the acquisition of aluminium cans packaging provider CanSource for an undisclosed sum. Founded in 2011, CanSource is a provider of brite, shrink-sleeved and printed cans for the craft beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic beverage markets. The company has four operational sites across the US, including its headquarters near Denver, Colorado. The acquisition is set to expand TricorBraun's beverage packaging capabilities, strengthening its position in the North American beverage packaging market. All of the CanSource team will remain with TricorBraun, and continue to work from the company's existing locations. CanSource will function under the same name but under the TricorBraun company. Brett Binkowski, president of North America at TricorBraun, added: "Our acquisition of CanSource – a company known for exceptional quality, hands-on service and reliability – enables us to provide beverage customers across North America with expanded offerings and services, and more sustainable packaging options. We welcome the CanSource team to the TricorBraun family and we look forward to investing in the company's continued growth." Paige Sopcic, CEO of CanSource, added: "Partnering with TricorBraun is a significant milestone in CanSource's history. We've admired and respected TricorBraun for years and are excited to join a team who shares the same dedication to quality and customer service while providing multiple opportunities for our expansion and growth."
