2 A one-day event dedicated to strategic investing Merger and acquisition activities continue to pick up the pace across many sectors. The resin and fiber based packaging, coating, and converting sector is no exception. Companies seem to be finding it easier to achieve growth objectives through acquisition rather than organic growth. Packaging in general is a hot topic, and it is expected the industry will continue to see an increase in both deal and volume in the next year. Over the last decade the wave of buying and selling of companies across this sector, by other companies (for strategic reasons) or by private equity and investment groups (for financial reasons), has increased and the industry is still poised for further consolidation. About the Event The 2016 edition of the AWA M&A Executive Forum for the resin and fiber based packaging, coating, and converting sector is the premier international mergers and acquisitions event for all those involved or interested in the sector. The forum is designed to join C-level executives, private equity firms, investment bankers, and suppliers together to create an industry focused platform for all those involved or interested in the sector. The forum program will feature a selection of presentations and panel discussions focused on M&A drivers, trends and industry insights; it will provide a snapshot of the major themes in the M&A packaging marketplace. Target Audience The M&A Executive Forum 2016 brings together senior executives from companies within the sector, private equity firms, investment banks, lenders, financial intermediaries, and other experts to network, educate, discuss, debate, and share valuable insights within the sector and within the M&A arena.
