Which new states or regions has CKF Group, LLC entered since 2021 and when did expansions occur?
Executive summary
Available reporting shows multiple different firms and organizations using the “CKF” name; for CKF Inc. (a Canadian sustainable-packaging manufacturer) the company has expanded operations and acquisitions since 2021 — notable moves include rPET extrusion at its Rexdale, Ontario facility (December 2022), new Earthcycle production in Langley, B.C. (January 2023), the Packright Manufacturing acquisition announced in 2022 and integrated through 2024–25, and a warehouse expansion opened in Hantsport, N.S. in June 2024 [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. Available sources do not mention a comprehensive, single list of “new states or regions” for CKF Group, LLC (a U.S. private investment firm) specifically; reporting here mixes several unrelated CKF entities [3] [1].
1. Clarifying which “CKF” we’re talking about — many different companies share the initials
Searching the record finds at least three distinct organizations using “CKF”: CKF Inc. (Hantsport, Nova Scotia) — a packaging manufacturer that has announced capital projects, production moves and acquisitions since 2021 [1] [2] [3]; CKF Addiction Treatment (Salina, Kansas) — a nonprofit treatment provider that expanded telehealth and, per a 2025 story, acquired a Topeka provider [6] [7]; and other CKF-branded businesses (CKF Co./CKF countertop supplier, CKF Systems in the UK, CKF Group, LLC referenced in a profile) that are separate legal entities [8] [9] [10]. Reported expansions must be attributed to the specific CKF entity named in each source [1] [6] [7].
2. CKF Inc. (Canadian packaging) — concrete regional expansions and timing
CKF Inc. invested in vertically integrating rPET extrusion and broadened West Coast production: it began extruding its own rPET at its Rexdale, Ontario facility in December 2022 and started west-coast Earthcycle thermoformed moulded pulp production at Langley, B.C., in January 2023 [1] [11]. CKF also launched a new production line in Langley that created jobs and increased capacity (June 2023) and announced integration timelines moving operations between its Delta and Packright/Pacright facilities through 2024–2025 [2] [5]. In June 2024 CKF celebrated a US$10-million warehouse expansion opening in Hantsport, Nova Scotia — an investment in its existing Atlantic operations [4].
3. Acquisition activity that changed CKF’s footprint — Packright purchase and integration
CKF (with parent Scotia Investments Ltd.) agreed to acquire Packright Manufacturing Ltd. in a deal first publicized in 2022; Packright became a wholly owned subsidiary, expanding CKF’s manufacturing reach and product mix [3]. Press reporting and company releases indicate integration of Packright production and CKF Packright facility equipment into CKF operations with movement/merging of employees and equipment happening in staged windows through 2024–2025 [5] [3].
4. CKF Addiction Treatment (Kansas) — statewide reach and a 2025 Topeka move
CKF Addiction Treatment — a Kansas nonprofit founded in 1967 — announced a telehealth model in 2021 aimed at expanding reach across Kansas via partnerships with Medicaid plans (July 2021) and later expanded presence via acquisition of Sims-Kemper Clinical Counseling and Recovery Services in Topeka (reported November 20, 2025) to add outpatient services there [6] [7]. Those moves signify expansion within Kansas (statewide telehealth efforts in 2021 and a physical service addition in Topeka in 2025) rather than into new U.S. states [6] [7].
5. What’s missing or uncertain in available reporting
Available sources do not provide a single, authoritative timeline listing “new states or regions” for an entity named exactly “CKF Group, LLC.” The results conflate CKF Inc. (Canadian manufacturer), CKF Addiction Treatment (Kansas nonprofit), and other CKF-branded companies — each with different geography and dates [1] [6] [3]. If you meant the U.S. private investment firm “CKF Group, LLC” tied to a named individual, available sources do not mention specific expansions or state entries for that firm [10]. For CKF Inc., geographic expansion is documented as additional Canadian provinces and facility consolidations (Ontario and British Columbia actions plus Hantsport N.S. investment) and an acquisition adding operations through Packright [1] [2] [4] [3].
6. How to get a comprehensive, verifiable answer
To produce a single list by year of “new states/regions entered since 2021” you must specify which CKF legal entity you mean. For CKF Inc., compile company press releases and trade coverage (2022 Packright announcement; Dec 2022 rPET at Rexdale; Jan 2023 Langley Earthcycle production; June 2024 Hantsport warehouse opening; ongoing 2024–25 Packright integration) and map those to provinces/regions (Ontario, British Columbia, Nova Scotia) [3] [1] [2] [4] [5]. For CKF Addiction Treatment, use the 2021 telehealth rollout (statewide Kansas focus) and the 2025 Topeka outpatient acquisition [6] [7]. If you confirm which CKF entity you mean, I will extract and format a year-by-year list with direct citations.
