Novvia Group, a global rigid container and life sciences packaging distributor, has acquired Garrett Hewitt International, a New York-based supplier of plastic and glass containers and other cosmetic packaging products.

Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed. Novvia is backed by Kelso & Company.

Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Fishkill, NY, GHI primarily serves customers in the consumer beauty and fragrance markets. The combination strengthens Novvia’s presence in consumer packaging distribution following the company’s January 2025 acquisition of Saxco, and its simultaneous launching of Novvia’s consumer product distribution division.

Jason Clerke, owner of GHI, will continue to run the business and manage day-to-day operations. “We are thrilled to partner with Novvia to support our continued growth,” said Clerke. “We look forward to leveraging Novvia’s strong supplier relationships and resources to continue to provide value to our customers.”
