Global rigid container and life sciences packaging distributor, Novvia Group, has acquired Innovative Container, a California-based distributor of plastic, metal, glass, and corrugated containers. Financial terms of the private transaction were not disclosed. Novvia is backed by Kelso & Company (“Kelso”).

Since 2009, Innovative has supplied the Southern California market with a range of rigid packaging solutions, including pails, drums, bottles, jugs, jars, and cans.
