Andrew Petryk, Head of BGL’s Industrials & Building Products Group, discusses the deal market in the January/February edition of Window & Door.
We expect M&A activity to increase in 2018, with corporate and private equity buyers maintaining an aggressive posture. Corporates are looking to leverage their buying power and synergies in search of accretive acquisitions to boost topline growth. Private equity funds will continue to be motivated by a sense of urgency to deploy capital, with acquisitive growth central to their investment thesis.
