ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Novvia Group ("Novvia" or the "Company"), founded in December 2020, has successfully executed on a thoughtful organic and inorganic growth plan to become North America's largest industrial packaging distributor, surpassing $550 million of annual revenue after two years of operations. Novvia is backed by New York-based private equity firm, Kelso & Company ("Kelso").
Novvia has completed 15 acquisitions since inception, consisting of eight regional "platform" acquisitions and seven local market "tuck-in" acquisitions to build regional density. Novvia's acquisition strategy is focused on retaining legacy managers, encouraging equity reinvestment in the platform, and driving continuity and incremental enhancement of the Company's customer value proposition. Notable acquisition-related accomplishments in 2022 included:
Following its significant acquisition activity in 2022, Novvia can now claim full coverage of the United States and Canada, one of the Company's early stated objectives.
In addition to developing a complete national presence, Novvia has also executed on its goal to assemble a world-class management team to support its rapid growth and lead its integration efforts. Sarah Macdonald assumed the role of President and CEO of Novvia Group in mid-2021 after a four-year stint in the same role with C.L. Smith, an early-2021 Novvia platform investment. Sarah has provided strategic leadership as the business has scaled, overseeing considerable organic growth accomplished through a range of important commercial and operational initiatives. To support its continued growth, Novvia made meaningful investments in its leadership team in 2022, including promoting Kelly Shillito to SVP of Human Resources, and welcoming the following experienced executives:
Speaking on the progress of the Company, Executive Chairman Ken Roessler commented, "We are extremely proud of the first two years of Novvia. From building a national platform via organic and inorganic initiatives, to continuing to advance our strong M&A pipeline, to integrating our businesses and appointing a world-class team, we are firing on all cylinders and look forward with great optimism to Novvia's future."

Sandy Osborne and Alec Hufnagel, Managing Directors at Kelso added, "When Ken approached us with the vision for Novvia in September 2020, we shared his enthusiasm and conviction in the opportunity. Just over two years later, we thank and commend the entire Novvia team for tremendous execution on the initial thesis. In spite of the remarkable accomplishments of Novvia's first two years, including completing 15 strategic acquisitions, the business shows no signs of slowing down, and we look forward to continuing to support the Company on its impressive growth trajectory."
