13 Feb 2024 --- Following the announcement that Mondi might fully acquire DS Smith, we speak to Natasha Valeeva, senior analyst for Packaging & Logistics at Rabobank. She explains that industry consolidation was expected since difficult market conditions have impacted the corrugated sector since the COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, Valeeva worked as a market and supply chain researcher at LEI Wageningen University in the Netherlands and conducted a Ph.D. focusing on the economics of food safety and traceability in the Dutch dairy chain.
