Mergers are actively seeking a Food Industry Packaging Manufacturer business on behalf of a UK-based Trade Buyer with Private Equity Support. The acquirer is a well-established distributor of packaging products to the bakery, butchery, and broader food service industry, supplying customers across the UK and Europe. Their product portfolio includes foils, film, plastic and paper bags, cake boards, disposables, sustainable products, labelling solutions, and janitorial supplies. With sites in both the North and South of England, they have a strong operational base and a proven track record of successful acquisitions and supporting vendor retirement.

Of particular interest are businesses supplying bakeries, butchers, delis, coffee shops, farm shops, and other small to mid-sized customers. Target products include non-resale items such as labelling, safety, and handling equipment, as well as innovative and sustainable packaging solutions.

Target Market:
