Feb. 2: The most recent updates to this tracker include:
- Private equity firm Foundation Investment Partners acquired South Carolina-based Paper Converters, which makes paper tubes, edge board and sheeting. This follows FIP’s acquisition of another South Carolina-based packaging business – American Spool & Packaging, or Amspak – in 2024. “This investment enables Paper Converters and its sister company, Amspak, to collaborate across overlapping product lines, leverage best practices, and provide supply chain continuity,” FIP said in its latest announcement.
- Cascades entered an agreement to sell its corrugated packaging plant in Richmond, British Columbia, to Washington-based Crown Paper Group for $65.5 million. “Given its geographic position, the Richmond plant offered limited integration and synergy potential within Cascades' operational network, but aligns with Crown's current footprint, expanding its operations in the region,” Cascades said in its announcement.
Following a string of megadeals in 2024 and 2025, analysts anticipate consolidation in 2026 could be driven by smaller players. 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, 2024 and 2025.
