Supplier M&A Activity Jumped in 2017

2017 has been one of the busiest years for supplier deals in recent memory. Thus far, we've reported on just over 30 deals that resulted in new ownership, and 4 "investments" made in smaller companies. Those numbers represent a significant increase from our last tally in 2015 when we counted 19 total transactions. [see WSD 11-30-2015]. Below is our handy compilation of the most significant supplier acquisitions/investments we covered this year. JANUARYConstellation Ventures invests in Catoctin Creek Distillery.Vintage Wine Estates
