We look forward to working with Ranjeet and his team to better serve our customers, our employees, and the entire life sciences community.”

This is CCT’s third add-on acquisition since partnering with Aurora Capital Partners in 2019. During this time, CCT has dramatically expanded its portfolio of sustainable packaging solutions, entered key new life sciences verticals, launched its new digital platform, and dramatically grown its global manufacturing and distribution capabilities.
