2025 Mergers & Acquisitions’ Recognition: Monomoy’s Acquisition of Oliver Packaging & Equipment
We are pleased to announce that our acquisition of Oliver Packaging and Equipment has been recognized with an honorable mention in the prestigious 18th Annual Mid-Market M&A Awards presented by Mergers & Acquisitions.
This recognition highlights transactions that demonstrated innovation and successfully navigated obstacles across diverse sectors. The Oliver acquisition, completed in November 2024, is a strategic corporate carve-out that aligns with Monomoy’s operational strengths in the paper and packaging industry.
Oliver is a leading manufacturer of food packaging systems and bakery equipment, with a significant installed base of machines and complementary consumable packaging products. Under Oliver CEO Mitch Summerfield’s continued leadership, Oliver is positioned for growth as a standalone platform, with product, customer and end-market expansion opportunities ahead.
Mergers & Acquisitions selected 13 transactions as Deals of the Year, with an additional 13 deals receiving honorable mentions. The full list of winners and honorable mentions can be found on the Mergers & Acquisitions website here.
Congratulations to all those recognized for standout 2024 transactions!
The Honorable Mention for the Deal of the Year Award is presented by Mergers & Acquisitions, a third party not affiliated with Monomoy. For the recognition, Monomoy was assessed based on written responses to questions on the award application. Monomoy does not know the exact number of managers surveyed for the award and therefore does not know the percentage of nominees that received the recognition. This recognition is not indicative of Monomoy’s future success and does not reflect the experience of Monomoy or its investment professionals. Monomoy did not provide compensation to Mergers & Acquisitions to participate in this recognition. Additional information is available upon request. Mergers & Acquisitions announced the 2025 Middle-Market Deal of the Year on May 5, 2025. This recognition is announced annually and does not cover specific time periods, but rather information submitted by participants and reviewed by the awarding organization.
