First and foremost, TricorBraun is a service business. It’s our job to be responsive to the needs and goals of every person we interact with. Customers. Suppliers. Co-workers. And we love our job. The pride and pleasure taken in getting it done is tangible. Being able to deliver for you is our pleasure. People have called it superior customer service. Frankly, we don’t know any other kind.

Customer Service Unless you have unbridled enthusiasm for the job you’re doing, you can’t do the best job possible. Nowhere is that truer than Customer Service. Many of us are trained to provide specific services–we’re experts. And we make our expertise available to everyone involved. An assigned Account Coordinator acts as liaison between internal disciplines, the customers and the vendors to expedite answers and solutions. Since Sales Consultants handle 15 to 25 customers instead of territories, we’re able to provide a level of service unsurpassed in the industry. Our people are as passionate about your business as they are about ours. Knowledge Collectively, our people represent centuries of industry expertise. It wins us awards and allows us to create unique ways to service customers. We’re always looking to increase that knowledge. Our Global Business Development Group focuses on specific markets — learning the needs and concerns. This intense study drives innovation and technological advances. Often those advances are not just specific to those markets. Your next project might be the beneficiary of that innovation. We’re involved with many trade organizations. The Sustainable Packaging Coalition is a very important one to us. Being good to the earth is more than a cliché. We deliberately look for logistically appropriate and environmentally conscious manufacturers and suppliers to help enable everyone’s commitment to sustainability. We’re proud to be a knowledge resource for the industry, making the latest news available on our website. Not surprisingly, many companies have taken advantage of that resource. They understand that with our extensive industry-leading experience, there’s no better place to get information that helps them improve their profitability.

In truth, it really is about the people. And for good reason. Orders don’t place themselves. Containers don’t design themselves. Global sourcing doesn’t happen by itself. It takes people to make it happen. The right people.

Sherry Briggs, Packaging Consultant


Strong and caring. Interested and involved. Decisive and collaborative. These are the kind of people you need to work with if your business is going to succeed. These are the kind of people you’ll ďŹ nd at TricorBraun.

Because the most essential option is the human one.
