CTS Packaging, a full-line folding carton manufacturer in Covington, Kentucky, will join the Graphic Village (GV) family of companies, effective Oct. 1. The 60-year-old company provides custom and stock packaging services to a wide range of customers. It will move to Graphic Village’s new “print marketing shop of the future” in Blue Ash, Ohio, this fall.
“CTS and GV have been strategic partners for five years,” said Eric Kahn, CEO of Graphic Village. “This is the next logical step in our relationship. By being together under one roof, we will be able to meet all of our clients’ packaging and other print marketing needs more effectively than ever.
Mark O’Bryan, President of CTS for the past eight years, will be staying on as a partner with Graphic Village and President of the new packaging division.
Graphic Village has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, both organically and through strategic acquisitions, the company reports. When the acquisition of CTS is complete, it will have some 250 employees, including approximately 30 from CTS.
