Who We Are

We live in a beautifully complex world. Across the globe, diverse cultures, beliefs, and traditions paint the rich tapestry of human experience. This diversity adds vibrant color to the black-and-white narrative of our lives.

Life’s moments transcend culture and region, forming a unifying thread that connects us all. These moments can be joyous, like the first time a newborn baby wraps her tiny fingers around her father’s finger, or when a couple embarks on their dream vacation to celebrate the beginning of their retirement. Other moments represent life’s challenges, like when communities come together to rebuild after a natural disaster or struggle to find access to abundant fresh and healthy food. And even some of the simple, fleeting moments we often take for granted later live on in our memories as the “good old days,” like enjoying a meal on a typical Tuesday night, or perhaps when kids raid the snack aisle at a convenience store to break up the drive on a long family road trip.

No matter the moment, big or small, Charter Next Generation is there, enhancing these experiences with innovative and sustainability founded solutions. We’re present in the thriving vitality of our growing children, in the joyful social media posts from happy retirees, and in the essential supplies that bring comfort and safety to those in need.

Harnessing the power of our people, we tackle the world’s toughest challenges. Our teams anticipate unmet needs, planning, developing, and bringing ideas to life through cutting-edge polymer engineering and material science. Our specialty films perform a multitude of functions: they reduce the use of single-use plastics, are designed for recycling, and extend the shelf life of food, ensuring freshness for longer than ever before, to name just a few. CNG materials even enhance vehicle interiors with advanced acoustical abatement, contributing to the luxury and convenience we so dearly appreciate in our vehicles. By aligning our vision with the expertise of our people, we create sustainable films that improve our planet, the lives of those in our communities, and the experience of our customers and their customers.

When a newborn baby squeezes her father’s finger for the first time, CNG is there — in the ID wristbands often kept as keepsakes, in the nurse’s disposable garments, in the adhesive tapes that hold medical components in place, and in the packaging that keeps objects safe and clean. When natural disasters strike, CNG is the tarping material providing temporary shelter, allowing more permanent relief to follow. And as the kids raid the snack aisle, we ensure the jerky stays fresh, the candy bars remain delicious, and the drink pouches hold juice securely, so mom and dad can focus on the road ahead.

The challenges of our complex lives may not be fully solved with CNG solutions, but CNG solutions can continuously enhance our complex world. Behind every life-enhancing solution from CNG is a dedicated team of thinkers, scientists, engineers, and doers who bring innovation to life. This is where unmet needs intersect with material innovation to improve lives.

Solutions Materialized. Life Enhanced.
