William Blair’s Brian Flynn: ‘We see a thawing in the packaging M&A market’

William Blair has been involved in eight deals in consumer packaging this year as an adviser.

Like several other sectors in private equity, the consumer packaging market is recovering from a slowdown in dealmaking.

PE Hub spoke to Brian Flynn, co-head of packaging M&A at Chicago-based investment bank William Blair about the sector. The bank recently published a report on the packaging market, outlining the sector’s M&A slowdown in the first half of the year due to lingering supply chain effects from the pandemic and rising interest rates.
