Truvant was created for ambitious brands that need packaging operations to run like an extension of their own company. Six campuses. Two continents. One world-class operational standard.
Some of our operations started small.
In 1994, two Wisconsin natives, an entrepreneur and an engineer shared a vision of providing world class operations to world class brands. From humble roots transforming into two campuses running lines for industry-leading cleaning and US food brands.
In 2020, Prairie Industries acquired Sonoco's European contract packaging business, adding facilities in Poland and decades of experience serving the continent's leading consumer brands. Continued expansion in the US scaled that same standard across the network.
In June 2021, these operations unified under a single global brand, Truvant, and in 2022 the company established its global headquarters in Charlotte, North Carolina. Today, Truvant is the world's only pure-play co-packer operating across both sides of the Atlantic. Its standards are shaped by the global brands it serves, from rigorous food-safety discipline to precise delivery and documentation, and are verified to BRCGS AA+, ISO, and SMETA.
