Jonathan White Featured Speaker at AWA Virtual M&A Executive Forum 2025

We are pleased to share that Managing Director Jonathan White was a featured speaker at the AWAVirtual™ Mergers & Acquisitions Executive Forum 2025 on June 6.

Jonathan’s presentation, Inside the Packaging M&A Market, provided a detailed look at current deal activity and valuations across the global packaging sector. Key points included:

  • Deal Volumes – Packaging transactions remained robust in recent years with notable strength in fiber-based packaging, distribution, and contract packaging.

  • Pricing Trends – While multiples are off their 2021 highs, valuations in 2024–2025 are stabilizing near long-term averages, with flexibles and labels recently trading at a discount to the broader market.

  • Buyer Activity – Private buyers have significantly increased their share of transactions, while sponsor-backed rollups continue to shape the market landscape.

  • Implications for Buyers & Sellers – Uncertainty and macroeconomic headwinds are influencing processes, but high-quality targets continue to attract strong buyer interest
