Marc discusses the firm’s focus on sustainability and support and how this helps it to provide excellence for its valued clients. “Here at Gold Eagle, we manage our business by our core values of balance, commitment, customer focus, integrity and quality and are driven to protect and preserve the things people love. To ensure innovation at all times we have a thorough innovation process featuring a dedicated Innovation Center staffed by research chemists, product engineers and market experts who continually monitor the marketplace, identify consumer needs and adhere to systematic launch processes.

We keep up with industry trends by constantly monitoring the industry via NPD data and other consumer behavior analytics. From directors to professional staff, our team is empowered to subscribe to technologies and tools that allow them to stay current in the industry. I think in many instances, new technologies have made it is easier to do this. Analytics and data are more available, tools and technologies designed for specific functions allow us to keep up with and stay ahead of industry trends.” Technology, therefore, is a vital tool for Gold Eagle, and one which Marc focuses on in order to offer the most innovative and leading edge solutions, as he is keen to highlight. “It is vital to not only keep up to date with latest technology trends, buy to stay ahead and anticipate where technology and markets are headed. We are currently acquiring companies and technologies that will allow us to meet these needs. Our recent acquisition of TriNova is a prime example. TriNova is a successful CPG company that conducts business only by eCommerce, and we acquired this company so that we can become more adept at conducting business in an eCommerce environment with not only TriNova, but also our other Gold Eagle brands.” Staff are another core focus for the firm, which seeks to offer them a Gold Eagle Company Best Automotive Fuel Additive Provider - USA Gold Eagle Company is an 85-year-old privately owned, Chicago based company that manufactures and markets performance chemicals and premium surface treatments for automotive, home, outdoor power equipment, marine and recreation markets.
