“We are very enthusiastic about acquiring Silvermark,” said Philippe Trudeau, President of Trudeau Corporation. “This opportunity is a perfect fit.  The two companies have complementary product lines, distribution channels and share a common objective to develop new products geared towards the strong growing trend of healthy eating and easier food prep.  Folding Silvermark’s unique product line into Trudeau will result in additive growth and take advantage of the numerous synergies between the two companies.

 Michael Silver, co-founder of Silvermark, echoes these sentiments. “Silvermark was at a stage in it’s evolution that required that it either build more infrastructure or team up with a company that had the resources to augment its ongoing growth initiatives. Trudeau was an ideal candidate since there is virtually no overlap in our respective product lines and numerous operational efficiencies that will be quickly realized after the acquisition.”  Silver will now focus on new product and business development while also maintaining relationships with key suppliers.

 The integration of Silvermark into Trudeau will amplify both company’s core objective to assist the consumer in the kitchen with innovative products.  Both companies have become well-known for producing high-quality and useful food prep products, Silvermark with its inaugural product, the Toss and Chop^TM, which has evolved into a modern kitchen classic, and Trudeau with its Stress Less^TM Line of products, which are gaining significant acclaim since its recent introduction earlier this year.

According to Philip Brandi, President of the IHA, "We welcome the leadership qualities and experience that Robert Trudeau brings to the organization. Not only is it noteworthy to have our first Chairman headquartered outside the U.S., but equally valuable is the fact that Trudeau Corp., under Mr. Trudeau's leadership, has become a truly international company in terms of its sales and product distribution. We are truly honored to welcome Mr. Trudeau as Chairman of the IHA and look forward to capitalizing on the wealth of knowledge he carries."

As head of Trudeau Corporation, Robert Trudeau has seen a great many changes within the housewares industry and has successfully navigated the company through 42 years as its leader. His wife Deborah Shannon, two sons, Philippe and Paul and daughter, Anne-Marie, now lead Trudeau's vision for the future.
