Nosco Announces Acquisition of Insert, Outsert Manufacturer Gooding Company

Nosco Inc., a subsidiary of Holden Industries, has announced that it has acquired Gooding Company, 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, N.Y. 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,” says 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.
