Key people at CTK.
CTK was founded in 2018 by Catherine Chen (Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer).
CTK provides beauty brands with a comprehensive, end-to-end platform for product development and manufacturing. The company offers a turnkey solution, handling formulation, manufacturing, and packaging, which allows clients to efficiently launch new cosmetic products. This integrated approach simplifies the supply chain and accelerates market entry for global beauty brands.
The company’s origins trace to 1979 with Taega Trade, initially a cosmetics packaging manufacturer. This foundational experience in the beauty supply chain drove a strategic evolution. The insight was the industry’s need for a single, integrated partner to manage the full spectrum of product creation, from concept to final production, moving beyond fragmented component sourcing.
Globally, diverse beauty brands utilize CTK’s services to develop and launch cosmetic lines. The company envisions becoming a leading global beauty integrated value chain platform, seamlessly connecting planning, manufacturing, and distribution. CTK aims to provide a unified, efficient ecosystem for sustained beauty product innovation and robust market presence.
CTK has 2 tracked investments across 2 companies. The latest tracked deal is $35.0M Seed in Antarka in March 2026.
