CTG Brands

CTG Brands

Canadian CPG importer and distributor

Overview

CTG Brands sources, owns, and distributes a wide range of consumer-packaged products to North American retailers. It manages the full supply chain—from product development and sourcing to distribution, showrooms, and regulatory compliance—through its own warehouses in Toronto and Vancouver and multiple showrooms. Unlike many brokers, CTG owns the products it sells and controls sourcing, quality checks, and compliance, using its scale and buying power to offer value across seasonal and everyday items. Its goal is to grow its North American footprint by expanding distribution, acquiring brands, and increasing operations in Canada, including more showrooms.
