Medo Manufacturing


FOR IMMEIATE RELEASE, February 24, 2006 Lake Forest, Illinois USA; Trifinity Partners, Incorporated, a privately held Illinois Specialized distribution and manufacturing company has completed the purchase of Medo Manufacturing in Baltimore, MD. This company has been renamed, Trifinity Manufacturing, Baltimore LLC.


Trifinity will continue operations at this facility, which employs over 225. This facility is the world largest manufacturing facility of car fresheners. Medo® stood for the initials of three East Coast brothers who started selling fruit-scented liquid targeted at the automotive market. Today, the line covers a wide spectrum of scents and state-of-the-art delivery systems, including the familiar leaf shaped design of the Ultra Norsk® line. MEDO's warehouse facility, located in Baltimore, Maryland has over 300,000 square feet of space devoted to cutting edge production, shipping, receiving and manufacturing. Medo® became part of Quaker State Corporation, which later merged with Pennzoil Company to become the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company. Shell Oil Company, an affiliate of the Royal Dutch / Shell Group of Companies, acquired Pennzoil - Quaker State Company in 2002. In May of 2003, Pennzoil-Quaker State Company began doing business as SOPUS Products. SOPUS Products markets Shell, Pennzoil and Quaker State motor oils, a portfolio of car care products and Jiffy Lube® services.


Trifinity Partners, Incorporated Principal’s ,James V. Merlo and Clayton B. Bolke stated “We are very excited with this acquisition, it will allow Trifinity to expand our presence to the East Coast and South East States, not only with products currently manufactured at this facility, but will also allow expansion at this facility to our current contract packaging specialties”.


Trifinity also plans on adding approximately 100 jobs over the next Twelve (12) Months. The acquisition allows SOPUS the ability to continue marketing US manufactured products in a time where overseas manufacturing usually wins out.


Mr. Merlo stated, “The City of Baltimore, Mayor Martin O’Malley was instrumental as was Councilman Edward Reisinger and Richard L. Escalante Senior Economic Development Officer The Baltimore Development Corporation.” “We have been welcomed to Baltimore.” We intend to become a good neighbor.


Trifinity began full operation on February 27, 2006.
