Looking ahead to 2023, Lincoln’s Packaging group expects robust demand for packaging businesses, driven by favorable investor appetite for the sector amidst economic uncertainty; increased opportunity for consolidation; changing local and regional regulatory requirements; emphasis on cross-border activity; and sustainability initiatives across all our packaging sub-sectors.
