Nov. 13: The most recent updates to this tracker include:

• PaperWorks Industries, a Pennsylvania-based recycled paperboard and folding carton producer, has acquired Wisconsin-based packaging manufacturer Color Craft Graphic Arts. The deal will add two paperboard mills and six converting facilities to PaperWorks' network, along with 120 new team members.
• SupplyOne, a Pennsylvania-based distributor of custom corrugated, foam, wood and plastic packaging, acquired Arkansas-based Lamb & Associates Packaging. Lamb touts itself as having the state's largest corrugated sheet plant, as well as digital printing services that will add to SupplyOne's capabilities in that space.

Analysts had projected that M&A activity could tick up in 2025 and that there was room for additional consolidation following a string of megadeals. 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.
