Packaging is the protagonist of industrial M&A in June in Spain.
Analysing the M&A operations in the industrial sector that have taken place in June, it is worth highlighting the investments made in Spanish companies in the packaging sector with different materials. In addition, several of the investors have been foreigners such as DS Smith or Duravent, which reflects the confidence in the Spanish packaging sector. According to the sector barometer Hispack Packaging Trends, 70% of Spanish companies in the sector will increase their turnover this year and almost a quarter of the companies estimate a growth of more than 10%.
