Clairvest Group’s Doug Horn answers questions about the M&A landscape
When is the right time to consider a merger or acquisition? We caught up with Doug Horn, who leads the packaging investment practice at the Clairvest Group, to ask him about that and to get his thoughts about the market in general. Why Clairvest? It was founded in 1987 by a group of successful entrepreneurs and is a top performing private equity firm with approximately $2 billion of capital under management. Clairvest’s mission is to partner with entrepreneurs to help them build strategically significant businesses.
There seems to be a lot of merger and acquisition (M&A) happening in packaging recently. Is this a real thing or a product of media perception? If real, what has been driving this activity?
