What Consolidated Bottle does

Consolidated Bottle is a Canadian packaging solutions distributor founded in 1990 and headquartered in Toronto, operating across food, beverage, spirits, wine, beer, personal care, pharmaceutical/nutraceutical, home care, pet care, industrial chemical, automotive, and cannabis/CBD end markets. Its product portfolio spans glass, plastic, and metal bottles, jars, closures, cans and tins, jugs, vials, tubes, buckets and drums, tubs, secondary packaging, hazmat (Dangerous Goods) containers, and bottling tools — supported by a catalog scale referenced at 50,000+ SKUs at the parent network level. Value-added services include custom packaging design and innovation (Studio One Eleven), inventory management, quality service management, sustainable packaging sourcing, global sourcing across 1,700+ suppliers, and an omnichannel customer portal for quote-based ordering.

The business model is a hybrid packaging supplier: revenue is generated primarily through transaction-based sales of packaging products at quote-based pricing (not publicly disclosed), delivered through an enterprise field sales motion supplemented by a customer portal. The company operates multi-year contracts and is ISO 9001 certified, holding 225+ industry packaging awards. Specialty sub-brands (United Bottles & Packaging, Dangerous Goods, CannaSupplies) target spirits, hazmat, and cannabis/CBD respectively. In June 2021, Consolidated Bottle acquired Cannasupplies to deepen its cannabis vertical presence.

Consolidated Bottle functions as the Canadian operating node of the larger Berlin Packaging network, providing customers access to 100+ global locations and supporting both North American and Quebec-specific contact channels. Distribution is direct via the field sales team and the self-serve customer portal; marketing is concentrated on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X for B2B engagement. The company is privately held with 101-250 employees per firmographic data.
