M&A Activity In Packaging, Coating And Converting - A Specialist Forum For Senior Executives

A unique and topical event for the resin- and fiber-based packaging, coating, and converting sector will address the issues of mergers, acquisitions, and resulting consolidation in these industries. The M&A Executive Forum 2010, to be held 7-8 June in Chicago, IL is organized by business-to-business market research, publishing, and consulting company AWA Alexander Watson Associates, who have a highly-specialized focus on the specialty paper, film, packaging, coating, and converting industry.

Says Corey M Reardon, President and CEO, AWA Alexander Watson Associates: "The M&A Executive Forum 2010 will bring together senior company executives; private equity firms; investment banks; lenders; financial intermediaries; and other experts to network, educate, discuss, debate, and share insights within the sector, and within the M&A arena."

Bringing together the financial community and the industry
Blaige & Company - leading specialist investment banker in the plastics, packaging, and chemicals industries, is sponsoring and participating in the event. "This conference will provide insights and strategies to help CEOs and investors to ensure their success as leaders, rather than victims of, the forces of consolidation", comments CEO Thomas Blaige.
