Global rigid container and life sciences packaging distributor, Novvia Group (\u201cNovvia\u201d), has acquired Garrett Hewitt International (\u201cGHI\u201d), a New York-based supplier of plastic and glass containers and other cosmetic packaging products<\/a>. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed. Novvia is backed by Kelso & Company (\u201cKelso\u201d).<\/p>\n Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Fishkill, NY, GHI primarily serves customers in the consumer beauty and fragrance markets. The combination strengthens Novvia\u2019s presence in consumer packaging distribution following the company\u2019s January 2025 acquisition of Saxco, and its simultaneous launching of Novvia\u2019s consumer product distribution division.<\/p>\n Jason Clerke, owner of GHI, will continue to run the business and manage day-to-day operations. \u201cWe are thrilled to partner with Novvia to support our continued growth,\u201d said Clerke. \u201cWe look forward to leveraging Novvia\u2019s strong supplier relationships and resources to continue to provide value to our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n The transaction marks Novvia\u2019s first consumer-oriented acquisition since its acquisition of Saxco in January 2025. \u201cSince acquiring Saxco, we have been focused on identifying complementary consumer businesses and end markets with strong and durable growth profiles, diverse supply bases, and high degrees of fragmentation. GHI fits well within this consumer thesis,\u201d said Ken Roessler, Executive Chairman of Novvia. \u201cWe look forward to working with Jason and his team to capitalize on these attractive attributes and continue the company\u2019s growth trajectory,\u201d added Roessler.<\/p>\n For more information about GHI, please visit https:\/\/www.garretthewitt.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n Novvia Group is a leader in high-quality packaging solutions and customized services with domestic and international customers across myriad of industries.
