CTG Brands imports and distributes consumer-packaged products for North American retailers. It owns and sources a wide mix of SKUs—from giftware and home decor to kitchenware, toys, party supplies, health and beauty—and manages sourcing, due diligence, regulatory compliance, and logistics in-house. The company serves B2B customers through its Canadian and U.S. distribution centers and showrooms, and expands its footprint via acquisitions and new markets. Its focus is on providing value to retailers with a strong supply chain and high-perceived-value products, supported by private-label and vendor-management capabilities.
