Complete Design & Packaging Opens New Warehouse Facility

Complete Design & Packaging (CDP)

Complete Design & Packaging (CDP) has opened a 65,000-square-foot warehouse in Concord, NC. Located at 245 Manor Avenue - just a mile from CDP’s existing Wilshire Avenue fulfillment center and across the street from its headquarters and manufacturing operation - the facility expands the company’s operational capacity to meet growing demand. 

The new site will serve as the primary shipping hub for all finished product orders not processed through the Wilshire center. With dedicated outbound space, the warehouse streamlines fulfillment and ensures faster, more efficient delivery to its customers.

Beyond shipping improvements, the facility also offers expanded parking for CDP’s growing truck fleet and visiting carriers, helping to reduce congestion and improve turnaround times. It also provides built-in overflow space for increased flexibility during periods of high demand, eliminating the need for temporary off-site rentals. 

"The opening of our new warehouse marks a major milestone in our growth strategy," said Howard Bertram, president of complete design & packaging. "This expansion not only strengthens our ability to serve customers more efficiently, but also positions us for long-term scalability - providing room for additional equipment and increased order volume.”

Hallstar Invests In Biorenuva, Expanding Biotechnology-Enabled Beauty & Personal Care Ingredients

The Hallstar Company now has minority investment in BioReNuva, a biotechnology developer based in Austin, Texas. This alignment could enable Hallstar to explore novel approaches in the biosynthesis space, leveraging BioReNuva's expertise and manufacturing capabilities.

Hallstar chairman and CEO John Paro sees this partnership as a logical extension of Hallstar’s activity in biotech, stating, “Our existing innovation in natural functional and active ingredients has an impressive track record, and has underscored customers’ passionate need for ingredients that are safe, biodegradable, and effective. We see a future where biotech excipients–biosurfactants, for example, where BioReNuva already excels–will be a large portion of total growth in the beauty and personal care market.”

BioReNuva's founder Dennis Zlotnik agrees that biotech has a significant runway for market capture as scale and costs improve, and as consumers increasingly demand ingredients with low environmental impact. Zlotnik says, “My team and I have a strong affinity with Hallstar’s priorities, and we welcome this partnership. Strategic investors contribute to our company’s steady growth, and allow us to realize key goals when it comes to technical development, production capacity, and expansion into multiple verticals.”

According to this agreement, Hallstar will provide board-level oversight, while day-to-day operations will continue to be independently managed solely by the BioReNuva team.

“In researching the large-scale biotech landscape, we were truly impressed with BioReNuva’s vision, scientific talent, product performance and ability to execute,” observed Allan Koch, Hallstar’s chief financial officer. “Identifying these growth venture opportunities and connecting meaningfully with adjacent fields of chemistry help us create value for our customers.”
