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

Founded in 1964 and headquartered in Fishkill, NY, GHI primarily serves customers in the consumer beauty and fragrance markets. 

Jason Clerke, owner of GHI, will continue to run the business and manage day-to-day operations.

Clerke commented, 

“We are thrilled to partner with Novvia to support our continued growth. We look forward to leveraging Novvia’s strong supplier relationships and resources to continue to provide value to our customers.”

The transaction marks Novvia’s first consumer-oriented acquisition since its acquisition of Saxco in January 2025. 

Ken Roessler, Executive Chairman of Novvia, said, 

“Since 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.”

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