The company will invest in best-in-class production equipment to accommodate demand in the aluminum aerosol and beverage markets.

“Matt Bobbey, Michael Wood and the entire team at Trivium Packaging run an exceptional operation and simultaneously serve as great community stewards,” said Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber President & CEO Guy Coviello. “We commend their commitment to the Valley, as well as our partners who helped to carry this investment across the finish line: Mayor Tito Brown’s office and the City of Youngstown, Team NEO and JobsOhio.”

This possible expansion will help further the growth of the City of Youngstown. I look forward to our continued partnership.”
