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.”

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.”
