We look forward to integrating Mark/Trèce into the DFC family and continuing to invest in their equipment and people to maintain their exceptional quality.” Richard Godfrey, Co-founder and CEO of Mark/Trèce,
Joppa, Maryland based Mark/Trèce, Inc. announced that it has been acquired by the DFC Manufacturing Group, LLC of St. Louis, Missouri. Terms of the sale were not disclosed. DFC Manufacturing Group is a leading maker of dies with locations across the United States. For over 60 years, Mark/Trèce, Inc. has provided the flexographic printing industry with superior bundled solu- tions. With manufacturing and sales operations in six lo- cations in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the US, Mark/Trèce will continue to service the diverse needs of the industry. In addition to platemaking, Mark/Trèce of- fers total concept development, including graphic design, print quality programs, cutting dies, and more. Mark/Trèce
Inc., said he is proud to partner with the DFC Manufacturing Group. “It is rare to find a business that is not only enduring but thriving with the involvement of the original founder after 62 years in business. Mark/Trèce has been more than a job for many of our employees. It has been a ca- reer based on loyalty and opportunity for many that felt like family. I truly believe we have entered into a very compatible rela- tionship as we share similar core values and as we both operate under fair and dip- lomatic principals. We both understand the key to success is knowing when it is time to change. I have always said ‘change or perish’ and I stand by that now. “62 years ago, when I started a fledg- ling Mark/Trèce, I saw it as a terrific chal- lenge, however I felt I could make the mar- ket better and help our customers with a local platemaker there to serve them high quality products at a fair price. I know this decision is favorable and will continue to guarantee success for all parties into the future. The total quality management con- cept made evident that Mark/Trèce’s stron- gest asset and greatest resource are the employees. “It has been a longstanding mission of Mark/Trèce to provide the highest quality products and customer service and we will continue to do so as we transition into the future.” Lee Grantham and Ken Ricks will co- lead Mark/Trèce as Regional General Man- agers of the DFC Manufacturing Group. They will continue to manage their Mark/ Trèce facilities, while integrating Mark/ Trèce’s printing plates into product offer- ings at all of DFC’s locations.
