What services does CKF Group, LLC provide and in which industries do they operate?
Executive summary
CKF Group/CKF (the letters "CKF" appear in multiple, unrelated organizations) operates in at least three distinct businesses: addiction treatment services (CKF Addiction Treatment) offering detoxification, residential, outpatient, telehealth and peer-based services (est. 1967) [1]; industrial technology and consulting in Turkey providing sales, installation and process consultancy for laser cleaning, vacuum furnaces, laser welding, SLM manufacturing and metal powders (CKF Technology & Consulting Company) [2] [3]; and a Canadian manufacturer (CKF Inc.) that makes sustainable packaging, foam and food‑service products (founded 1933) serving retail and food‑service industries [4] [5] [6]. Sources also show other unrelated CKF entities in construction, robotics and corporate holdings, so care is required when matching services to the right legal entity [7] [8] [9].
1. Multiple companies share the CKF name — treat each as separate firms
The term "CKF" does not point to one corporate group in the available reporting; it labels separate firms with different scopes. CKF Addiction Treatment is a behavioral‑health nonprofit/health provider in Kansas [1]. CKF Technology & Consulting Company in Turkey is an industrial technology consultancy and equipment supplier [2] [3]. CKF Inc. in Canada is a manufacturer of packaging, foam and rPET products for retail and food service [4] [5] [6]. Other records identify CKF Construction Services LLC in Florida and a UK automation provider called CKF Systems, underlining the risk of conflating activities across unrelated entities [7] [8].
2. Addiction treatment services: what CKF Addiction Treatment offers
CKF Addiction Treatment—established 1967 and based in Salina, Kansas—provides a "broad continuum of substance use disorder services" that explicitly includes detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient services, telehealth and peer‑based programs; the organization recently announced an expansion into Topeka and will add outpatient service lines there [1]. The reporting frames CKF Addiction Treatment as focused on evidence‑based addiction care and continuity of services across the state [1].
3. Industrial tech and consultancy: CKF Technology & Consulting Company (Turkey)
CKF Technology & Consulting Company markets itself as a boutique industrial consultancy and equipment supplier; it offers sales, installation and process consultancy for laser cleaning machines, vacuum furnaces, laser welding, selective laser melting (SLM) manufacturing and metal powders, and provides expertise in joining and surface processes such as brazing, friction stir welding, cold spray, laser cladding and laser hardening [2] [3]. The company emphasizes customized process solutions and equipment supply for manufacturing customers [2] [3].
4. Packaging and food‑service manufacturing: CKF Inc. (Canada)
CKF Inc., founded in 1933 and headquartered in Langley, BC, is a manufacturer of sustainable food‑service packaging and related retail products; public profiles and the company website describe manufacture of moulded pulp, foam and rPET products for retail consumers, food‑service operators and the packaging industry, and position CKF as a domestic Canadian supplier with sustainability goals [4] [5] [6]. PitchBook and ZoomInfo characterize CKF as a packaging manufacturer with ~1,100 employees and product lines serving retail and food service markets [4] [5].
5. Other CKF‑named entities in the records — different industries
Additional entries in the search results point to CKF Construction Services LLC — an active Florida‑registered construction company — and CKF Systems in the UK, which sells robotics and automation turnkey solutions; there’s also a corporate listing for CKF Holdings Ltd in England. These appear to be legally distinct organizations using the CKF acronym or name and operate in construction, robotics/automation and corporate services respectively [7] [8] [9].
6. How to avoid misattribution when researching “CKF Group, LLC”
Available sources do not explicitly describe a single, consolidated "CKF Group, LLC" that spans these offerings. When you encounter "CKF" in documents, match the context (geography, industry, corporate identifiers) to the right profile: behavioral‑health in Kansas (addiction treatment) versus industrial process consulting in Turkey (CKFtek) versus packaging manufacturing in Canada (CKF Inc.) [1] [2] [6]. The records show multiple legal entities with CKF in their names, so confirm the jurisdiction and primary business before assuming a single company provides all services [7] [8].
Limitations and next steps: The supplied reporting does not present a unifying ownership chart or a specific "CKF Group, LLC" entity that consolidates these businesses; available sources do not mention a single parent company connecting these CKF entities. If you want, I can (a) compile profiles for a specific CKF by jurisdiction (e.g., CKF Inc. Canada, CKF Addiction Treatment Kansas, CKFtek Turkey), or (b) search public registries for a corporate entity named exactly "CKF Group, LLC" to determine whether a distinct U.S. LLC exists.
