Nosco Announces Acquisition of Gooding Company, Inc.

Nosco, Inc., a subsidiary of Holden Industries, Inc., announced today that it has acquired Gooding Company, Inc., a New York-based insert and outsert manufacturer with over 141 years of printing experience. Through the acquisition of Gooding, Nosco will add an additional manufacturing facility on the east coast that will help reduce lead times, lower packaging costs and provide an expanded portfolio of folded literature.

Gooding was established in 1876 in Lockport, New York. In 1990, the company was sold to current president, Jerry Hace. Under Hace’s leadership, the company began focusing on enclosures for the medical and pharmaceutical industries, in addition to other markets.

“Over the years, Jerry Hace built a great team at Gooding that behaves very consistently with the employee-owned culture at Nosco,” said Russ Haraf, Nosco President. “Gooding is a great company that will complement our On_Demand Solutions Center in Philadelphia very well – offering a full line of healthcare printed packaging solutions with best-in-class cycle times for the eastern portion of the U.S.”

Like Nosco, Gooding is focused on innovation, and has invested in specialized technology and new facilities to increase its capabilities in insert and outsert printing. Through the acquisition, Nosco will be able to better serve its customer base with folded literature, while supporting Gooding customers with labels and cartons.

“The future of the printed packaging industry in healthcare demands an extensive product assortment and redundancy in operations,” said Hace. “It became clear that the best strategy for growth required combining capabilities with a strategically, like-minded company. Nosco has invested in advanced digital technology that we can offer to our valued clients, in addition to our specialty – MicroFolders™. We are excited to team up with Nosco to expand our offering and to be part of a company that is 100% employee owned. We know that both Gooding and Nosco will be better together.”

This most recent acquisition demonstrates Nosco’s continued focus on growth in the healthcare segment, helping deliver on its mission of making each customer’s packaging successful, every day.

The carbon footprint of food is approximately 30 times higher than that of its packaging. So, preventing food waste by protecting food with the right packaging is a crucial step towards a sustainable society. “As a Frenchman, food is definitely part of my heritage. At the same time, as I have experienced living in many and diverse countries, I have seen the importance of making food safe and available everywhere across the world,” says Charles Héaulmé, President and CEO of Huhtamaki. Food packaging is essential. It promotes hygiene. It secures food safety. Furthermore, the pandemic serves as a reminder of the importance of reducing cross contamination and enabling food availability – affordably and at low emissions. Food packaging also helps prevent food waste, which accounts for 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. As the carbon footprint of packaged food is approximately 30 times higher than that of its packaging, having the right packaging for each food system pays off from a climate protection perspective.

Ahlstrom launches Reliance® Fusion next-generation simultaneous sterilization wrap

Ahlstrom expands its offering for the medical industry by introducing Reliance® Fusion, a next-generation simultaneous sterilization wrap that helps increase efficiency in the sterilization of surgical equipment trays at hospitals. Sterilization wraps are extensively used in healthcare facilities worldwide to help maintain the sterility of surgical instruments. Ahlstrom single-use sterilization wraps help to prevent microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, spores) from easily gaining access to the tray contents, allow sterilization, provide physical protection, and maintain sterility of surgical instruments up to the point of use. They thus play a crucial role in infection prevention and patients’ safety. The sterilization process is often time-consuming, requires the use of expensive processing aids such as tray liners, and involves longer drying cycles and stocking multiple weights of sterilization wrap to ensure all moisture has been eliminated.
