Carton Pack, a portfolio company of A&M Capital Europe (“AMCE”), a London-based middle-market private equity firm with €650 million of assets under management, has agreed to acquire Ondapack (the “Company”), an Italian paper, carton board and corrugated packaging producer from its founding family.
Founded in 1956, Ondapack primarily serves the fruit & vegetable end-market, as well as other food and industry segments. The Company employs ~70 people. Carton Pack has a long-standing commercial relationship with Ondapack and its founders, the Morgese family. The Company will continue to be led by its management team, including CEO Antonella Morgese.
The acquisition further enhances Carton Pack’s footprint in sustainable fibre-based products while expanding into new end-markets and is consistent with Carton Pack’s strategy to become a leading European food packaging specialist with a multi-material product offering. The transaction is Carton Pack’s first add-on acquisition since AMCE acquired a majority stake in the company in April 2022.
AMCE and Carton Pack were advised by Chiomenti and Weil, Gotshal & Manges as legal advisers and KPMG as accounting and tax advisers.
