  source text: TriMas reported second quarter 2023 net sales of $233.2 million, a decrease of 1.9% compared to $237.7 million in second quarter 2022, as organic growth in the TriMas Specialty Products and TriMas Aerospace groups, and acquisition-related sales, were more than offset by lower market demand for TriMas Packaging dispenser and closure products used in personal care, food and industrial applications. The Company reported operating profit of $20.1 million in second quarter 2023, compared to $29.9 million in second quarter 2022. Adjusting for Special Items (1) , second quarter 2023 adjusted operating profit was $27.3 million, compared to $32.1 million in the prior year period, primarily as a result of the impact of lower volumes within TriMas Packaging. The Company reported second quarter 2023 net income of $11.0 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $19.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in second quarter 2022, and $4.9 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in first quarter 20
