More Solutions, Same Count On Us Commitment: CTL Welcomes DMS Packaging

CTL and DMS Packaging Join Forces to Expand Packaging , Co-Pack, and Fulfillment Solutions

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. — Companies today face increasing pressure to move products to market faster, manage costs, and coordinate multiple supply chain partners. CTL is making that process easier.

CTL has acquired DMS Packaging, expanding its ability to provide secondary packaging, contract assembly, retail display execution, fulfillment, warehousing, and distribution through a single integrated partner. The strategic acquisition strengthens CTL’s value-added services capabilities and gives customers access to a broader range of solutions designed to simplify supply chain operations and support growth.

By bringing together DMS Packaging’s expertise and CTL’s fulfillment and logistics expertise capabilities, customers can now manage more of their supply chain through one trusted provider, reducing handoffs, improving coordination, and accelerating speed to market.

Expanded Solutions for Growing Brands

The addition of DMS Packaging enhances CTL’s service offerings in several key areas:

  • Secondary Packaging & Assembly: Blister packaging, skin packaging, overwrapping, banding, clamshell assembly, heat sealing, promotional packaging, and retail rework programs.
  • Contract Packaging & Co-Pack Services: Scalable assembly and packaging solutions supporting product launches, retail promotions, seasonal programs, and ongoing production needs.
  • Retail Display Design & Engineering: Custom temporary and semi-permanent displays designed for mass retail, club, grocery, specialty, convenience, and omnichannel environments.
  • Integrated Supply Chain Management: Packaging, kitting, co-packing, assembly, fulfillment, warehousing, and nationwide distribution managed through a single operational team.

Leadership Perspective

“Our customers are constantly looking for ways to simplify their supply chains and reduce the number of partners they need to manage,” said Josh Miller, President of CTL. “The addition of DMS allows us to do exactly that. Customers can now access packaging, assembly, fulfillment, warehousing, and distribution through one team that understands their business and is accountable for the entire process. This investment is about making it easier for our customers to grow, launch products faster, and scale with confidence.”

“Many brands want more than a service provider. They want a partner who can solve multiple challenges under one roof,” said Rob Morton, Vice President of Enterprise Growth and Marketing at CTL. “DMS brings specialized packaging and assembly expertise that complements our existing logistics platform and gives customers a more seamless experience from production through final delivery.”

Investing in People and Capabilities

The acquisition also brings an experienced team of packaging professionals whose expertise and customer-first approach have made DMS Packaging a trusted partner to brands across multiple industries. Their knowledge and capabilities further strengthen CTL’s ability to support increasingly complex customer programs.

Operations will be integrated into CTL’s expanding Elk Grove Village facility, creating a dedicated Value-Added Services (VAS) center designed to support high-volume consumer packaged goods (CPG), retail merchandising, eCommerce, and omnichannel programs.
