While some parts of the packaging industry are already highly consolidated and recent economic challenges have created headwinds, deals are happening. Packaging Dive aims to track as many as possible throughout 2024 to help you stay up to date.
Although the packaging industry is global, this list focuses on deals involving companies that are either based in the U.S. or have a notable U.S. presence. We list the acquirers in alphabetical order by their parent company or common operating name, which may differ from the specific legal entities involved in the acquisitions.
