Analysts project M&A activity could tick up in 2025 – after a string of megadeals, there’s still plenty of runway for consolidation. Packaging Dive aims to track as many deals as possible to help you stay up to date.

Although the packaging industry is global, this list focuses on deals involving companies that are either based, or have a notable presence, in the U.S. or Canada. We list the acquirers by their parent company or common operating name, which may differ from the specific legal entities involved in the acquisitions. The list can be sorted by category by clicking on each column title in the table below. You can also scroll down to see archived lists from 2023 and 2024.
