In June this year, Novvia acquired US-based rigid packaging products distributor Northern Container.

Novvia executive chair Ken Roessler said: “Ocean State Packaging has built an impressive business over its 33-year history, and we welcome the company to the Novvia family.

“We look forward to investing in Ocean State’s markets as we grow our footprint of Northeast-based employees, customers, and suppliers.”

Established in 1990, Ocean specialises in supplying custom packaging solutions and other rigid packaging products to its long-tenured customers in different end markets.

The Rhode Island-based company, which also has an office in New Jersey, further offers plastic bottles, available in different shapes, sizes, and substrates, as well as caps and closures.

It mainly caters to the pharmaceutical, food and beverage, automotive, and personal care sectors.

Ocean president Brian Beneduce said: “We are excited to partner with Novvia to continue growing our business.

“We intend to draw on a long history of customer service and our ‘one-stop shop’ philosophy to deliver additional value to our loyal customers as part of the national Novvia platform.”
