Soap Box - have your say on consolidation in the packaging industry
Mergers and acquisitions in the packaging industry have continued apace this week; Irish group Zeus has bought plastic bag maker Omega, while inkjet technology firm Domino has bought another German outfit. Meanwhile, Rio Tinto's planned sale of Alcan has reportedly been delayed due to the current tough economic conditions.
So in this week's Soap Box, we are looking for your views on consolidation and M&A in the sector. What is driving M&A in packaging? Is consolidation healthy for the sector? What does it mean for clients and suppliers? And if you are looking to sell your business, what options are you considering?
Log in, either under your own name or a pseudonym, and let us know your opinions. We'll be publishing a write-up of the sector's views on Friday's Daily Bulletin and may use some of the comments in September's Packaging News magazine.
