Integrate for Success

Sonoco owns equipment manufactured by Rotomec, N.A. Cerutti, Fischer & Krecke, and Windmoeller & Hoelscher, often holding multiple pieces of equipment from each of these brands. The variety of suppliers is born from how the business came together through acquisitions. "It'd be one thing if you started from scratch," Tiede explains. "You might approach it a little bit differently. As a result of the acquisitions, you get different pieces of equipment."
