Oct. 16: The most recent updates to this tracker include:

• Veritiv acquired Packaging Solutions, which supplies custom packaging products and services throughout Southern California. Veritiv CEO Sal Abbate said the deal “represents our continued efforts to expand our national platform to better serve customers by combining the strength and scale of Veritiv with the entrepreneurial spirit of smaller, well-run family businesses.” Veritiv is backed by private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice.
• U.S. Medical Glove Co., a domestic supplier of gloves and other personal protective equipment, is purchasing a former Pixelle Specialty Solutions manufacturing site in Chillicothe, Ohio. Pixelle, a portfolio company of H.I.G. Capital that makes specialty papers for printing and packaging, shuttered the mill in August, impacting nearly 800 workers. Earlier this year, Pixelle said there had been significant declines in order volumes and efforts to secure a buyer were unsuccessful.

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.
