Packaging M&A (CONT’D FROM PAGE 33)
The Perfect Combo Get Peak Performance From Your Equipment with Matched Component Sets
Exxon – a major producer of the petrochemicals used to make single-use plastics, according to a BBC article. In response, an Exxon statement said California “failed to act, and now they seek to blame others.” Manufacturers in the Packaging market have toggled back and forth with the expectation of managing the end-of-life impact of the packaging materials they produce. This has often involved funding recycling programs, redesigning packaging for greater recyclability, or reducing the amount of packaging used, among other initiatives, with the aim of minimizing what ends up in landfills and as harmful pollution.
Nothing’s more rewarding than a couple made for each other.

Packaging players have also begun adapting produc- tion strategies in response to changing trade policies and tariffs. Of note, Canada has aligned its tariff structures with the U.S. for certain goods, and companies have gradually looked toward Mexico as an alternative country for produc- tion. Trade agreements, including the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), have provided a favorable option for North American production that avoids trade disruptions and geopolitics stemming from overseas manufacturing. Spike In Demand “Now that we are past most of the impacts from the pan- demic, and the experienced spike in demand for packag- ing products related to e-commerce activity, the sector has normalized with less destocking activity and pricing stabili- zation within the commodity input markets,” said Capstone Managing Director Mike Schumacher, the lead contributor in the newly released report. “This has led to more confi- dence from the buyer community when analyzing potential targets for factors such as recent company performance, margin sustainability, and go-forward predictability of rev- enue and profitability. This confidence, coupled with con- tinued innovation in packaging sustainability and an antic- ipated increase in overall M&A activity going forward, will lead to strength in packaging M&A and robust interest from private equity groups and strategic buyers.”
