O.Berk Company

What O.Berk Company does

O.Berk Company is a wholesale distributor and supplier of rigid packaging solutions founded in 1910 and headquartered in Union, New Jersey. The company specializes in glass, plastic, and metal containers and closures, offering over 14,000 stock packaging options across four material categories—glass, plastic, metal, and UN-certified hazardous materials packaging—alongside a broad closure portfolio that includes continuous thread caps, child-resistant caps, dispensing caps, metal caps, pumps, sprayers, dropper assemblies, tamper-evident closures, and dispensing taps. The firm also sells tube packaging (extruded, laminate, aluminum) and 250 existing PET preforms, and supports a diverse end-market footprint spanning beauty and personal care, healthcare and pharma, food and beverage, household and industrial, and cannabis, with particular depth in regulated verticals requiring UN, FDA, MoCRA, and child-resistant compliance.

The company operates multiple manufacturing platforms, including glass moulding, stretch blow moulding, injection moulding, injection stretch blow moulding, and extrusion blow moulding, accessed through a manufacturing partner network spanning 25 U.S. states plus Mexico, Canada, Korea, China, and India. O.Berk monetizes primarily through one-time sales of stock and custom packaging components, supplemented by project-based custom moulding, decoration services (silkscreening, hotstamping, pad printing), and value-added services including logistics coordination, engineering and creative services, regulatory assistance, and quality assurance. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with customer annual purchase volumes ranging from less than $50K to over $1M. Go-to-market combines a direct sales force, four regional offices (NJ, CT, MD, CA), and an e-commerce catalog with project management and inquiry cart functionality.

In June 2026, Berlin Packaging—the world's largest hybrid packaging supplier—acquired O.Berk, integrating the company into a global supply chain with digital tools, sustainability capabilities, and Studio One Eleven design services. O.Berk continues operating under its brand via wholly-owned subsidiaries O.Berk Company of New England, Kols Containers, and O.Berk West, serving customers across North America, Asia, and the broader international market.
