Incident2025
Berry Global Group was created through a series of private equity acquisitions and public market exits over two decades: Graham Packaging (2012, $4.3B), Avintiv (2015, $2.45B), RPC Group (2019, $6.5B), and dozens of smaller acquisitions — all under the stewardship of Graham Packaging's original PE sponsor, AEA Investors and later Blackstone. Berry went public in 2012 after years as a PE-owned roll-up. In April 2025, Berry was absorbed into Amcor ($8.4B), completing a cycle: PE-created packaging roll-up → public company → acquired by strategic. The Berry roll-up strategy consolidated hundreds of small packaging converters into one entity — a playbook that fundamentally concentrated the previously fragmented US flexible packaging film industry. Any frozen food manufacturer that thought they had supplier diversification by using multiple "different" film suppliers may have been sourcing from plants that were all Berry before the Amcor merger.
Packaging Dive ↗Concentration2023
Berry Global became the world's largest consumer packaging company by acquiring 40+ companies in 20 years — including Clopay Plastics, Kerr Group, Pliant, and Graham Packaging — a roll-up strategy that now controls private-label trash bags for Walmart and Costco Berry Global began as a small injection molder in Indiana in the 1960s. Under CEO Jon Rich (then David Haffner and Tom Salmon), it pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy: Kerr Group (1986), Pliant Corporation (2007), Sealed Air's protective packaging (2015), AEP Industries (2017), RPC Group UK (2019, $6.5B — largest plastics packaging deal in history). The company went from ~$100M revenue in 1990 to $14B+ by 2022. Berry's private-label plastic bags (Walmart, Costco, Target, grocery) compete directly with branded Glad (Clorox) and Hefty (Reynolds) — Berry wins on price by running high-volume blown film lines at near-full capacity utilization.
