TricorBraun awards Weener Plastics Inc.- 2016 development partner of the year
TricorBraun Design & Engineering Group has chosen Weener Plastics Inc. U.S. as the winner of the 2016 Development Partner of the Year Award. The partner was selected based upon defined criteria and most importantly because of their proven ability to provide superior support and engagement for the successful outcome of one or more highly complex custom package design projects.
Mark Muller, Vice President Plastic Engineering, Moulding and Development, TricorBraun, describes the partnership this way, “They are in the trenches with us – not your typical vendor by any stretch. To be honest, we aren’t looking for the cheapest; we are looking for the best partner who will work closely with us to ensure successful commercialisation every time.”
Weener is proudly named after a village in Germany and in 2006, this injection moulder wanted to penetrate the U.S. market so they did their research and landed on TricorBraun. According to Ryan Gladieux, President, Weener Plastics Inc. U.S., “My understanding is that after meeting in person, senior leadership at Weener was impressed with TricorBraun’s integrity and felt confident that this was a well-aligned partnership based upon common values. In 2015, Gladieux joined Weener in the US with the strategic growth objective of doubling sales by 2020. The loyalty within this partnership has helped to unlock the value that we can bring and has assisted in providing the roadmap to achieving this sales goal.”
