The global plastics & plastics additives industry is large and diverse, with products ranging from commodity plastic resins and compounds to additives, colorants, specialty films, and packaging materials. Strategic acquirers view M&A as an opportunity to diversify their product offerings, gain access to new markets and geographies, and achieve scale. Private equity buyers are attracted to the industry’s cash flow profile and the ability to execute a roll-up strategy.
Grace Matthews has worked with companies throughout the plastics and plastics additives value chain, include basic chemical manufacturers, polymers and resin suppliers, compounders, extruders, and manufacturers of specialty additives and colorants. We have a deep understanding of the dynamic raw material markets that impact costs and margins, and the end markets that drive underlying demand. Importantly, we have built strong relationships with global industry leaders and can rely on our experience to navigate the complex transactional issues encountered in this market segment.
