CLAYTON, DUBILIER & RICE (CD&R)

Context

Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) has completed the acquisition of Veritiv Corporation in a public-to-private transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, CD&R acquired all outstanding shares of Veritiv common stock for $170.00 per share in cash. The strategic rationale for the acquisition is to support Veritiv’s ongoing transformation into a pure-play leader in specialty packaging distribution. By moving to a private ownership structure, Veritiv gains the financial and operational flexibility necessary to accelerate its "buy and build" strategy and invest in further supply chain optimizations. Post-transaction, Veritiv will focus on expanding its value-added services and consolidating its dominant position in the fragmented North American packaging market. Sal Abbate continues as CEO, supported by a newly appointed Board of Directors featuring veteran industrial advisors.

Target

Headquartered in Atlanta, Veritiv is a leading North American full-service provider of packaging, JanSan, and hygiene products. The company was taken private by the global investment firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) in 2023. Veritiv’s investment thesis centers on consolidating the fragmented specialty packaging distribution sector to create an unparalleled design-to-delivery platform. Its business model leverages significant scale and a vast distribution network to offer integrated supply chain solutions, including custom design, global sourcing, and sustainable product alternatives. Under CD&R’s ownership, Veritiv has pursued an aggressive "buy and build" strategy, acquiring several specialty players like Vivabox and AmeriPac to enhance its value-added service capabilities. The company serves a wide range of global industries, positioning itself as a mission-critical partner for brands seeking to streamline their packaging lifecycles and improve operational sustainability.
