Monomoy Earns Honorable Mention in Mergers & Acquisitions’ 2025 Middle-Market Deals of the Year

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!
