This is a huge step for everyone at Planet Group. It makes us North American in every way."
"The acquisition of Tricor provides Planet Group of Companies a foothold in the US to better serve existing and new CPGcustomers located in the region. We whole-heartedly welcome the Tricor employees to Planet Group and look forward to the many opportunities ahead for all of us. It is an honor for us to be working so closely now with our US based clients," added Jason Berns.
