Sealed Air Set To Be Acquired in $10.3B All-Cash Deal

Sealed Air has entered a definitive agreement to be acquired by private investment firm CD&R in an all-cash transaction valued at $10.3 billion.

Under the deal, Sealed Air shareholders will receive $42.15 per share, representing a 41% premium to the company’s unaffected stock price on Aug. 14, 2025.

Best known for its CRYOVAC brand—supporting food safety and shelf-life extension for 75 years—Sealed Air operates 105 manufacturing sites worldwide and reported $5.4 billion in 2024 sales. Three plants in Texas, South Carolina, and Ontario have been FTA members since 1988.

Company leaders and CD&R described the deal as a major inflection point that will accelerate Sealed Air’s long-term strategy, expand innovation, and strengthen its global footprint while delivering immediate value to shareholders.
