TriMas agrees to sell Rapak bag-in-box packaging unit

TriMas signed an agreement in October 2026 to sell Rapak, its flexible bag-in-box packaging, dispensing and liquid filling business, to further streamline its portfolio around core businesses. Third-quarter 2026 net sales rose 7.7% to USD 178.7m and adjusted diluted EPS rose to USD 0.50 from USD 0.17. The company ended September with USD 1,158.5m of cash after the divestiture of TriMas Aerospace, which generated about USD 1.2bn in net after-tax proceeds.

Why this mattersSelling Rapak takes TriMas out of bag-in-box and narrows its packaging arm to core lines, backed by USD 761.4m of net cash for capital allocation.
