Grant Thornton advises K.M. Packaging Services Limited

Founded in 1984, KM Packaging is a leading global supplier of flexible packaging and lidding films to the food manufacturing industry.

The business has a worldwide customer base spanning across five continents and supplies packaging solutions for the produce, ambient, chilled and frozen convenience food markets, as well as for confectionery and snacks.

The shareholders appointed us to explore potential options in relation to their exit and succession strategy, one of which was the prospect of implementing an EOT.

The shareholders agreed that an EOT aligned with their core values and delivered the best outcome for the shareholders and employees of the business, who will now benefit from the continued growth of K.M. Packaging.

We ran a multi-track process engaging with trade buyers whilst exploring alternative options such as an EOT. This approach ensured the shareholders made the right decision for them and the long-term success of the business.
