Reuseable packaging supplier ORBIS acquires Creative Techniques
ORBIS Corp., a supplier of reusable packaging solutions, has acquired substantially all the assets of Creative Techniques, Inc. (CTI), which is headquartered in Orion Township, Michigan.
Founded in 1984, CTI’s business focuses on designing and manufacturing custom packaging, including stand-alone trays, container dunnage, precision rack dunnage, seat pallets, and kitting trays. It offers state- of-the-art high pressure injection molding, structural foam molding, and prototyping capabilities.

“What excites me about this acquisition is the engineering excellence and solutions-focused approach CTI brings to its customers,” said ORBIS President Norm Kukuk. “They create tremendous value in their front- end processes, tooling development, rapid prototyping capabilities, and ultimately the high-quality packaging they deliver to customers. We look forward to welcoming their talented team to ORBIS and expanding our capabilities in these areas.”
CTI serves the automotive industry and has a proven track record in delivering value to its customers with innovative products and service levels.
