Paper & Packaging


Cigno and our international team, M&A Worldwide, specialize in 12 industry groups. Each Industry Group gathers experienced M&A practitioners with sector-specific areas of expertise from different geographical regions, including Denmark.

This group covers the paper and packaging industries and is always keeping track of its developments, as well as new demands and strategic requirements, enabling us to be a valuable M&A partner.

Paper & packaging crosses a wide variety of sectors. There have been several factors influencing the sector recently, such as environmental conscience, need for quicker supply, cheaper solutions and customization.

The demand for paper packaging will continue to grow due to the manufacturing economies of China and other emerging countries (M&A Worldwide, 2021).

Thanks to the combination of 3D printing and additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things, and the growing popularity of drones and robotic process automation, packaging companies are developing smart packaging alternatives to create a competitive advantage (M&A Worldwide, 2021).

According to our Worldwide Paper & Packaging Group, these are the sectors’ trends:

  • More players with a wider scope
  • M&A activity continues to have challenges
  • More eagerness for PE
  • Bigger buy-side deals are expectable

Working with us will allow you to benefit from the in-depth and up-to-date knowledge and experience in the paper and packaging sectors.
