Southeastern: A World of Change, Growth

In all, Southeastern has made seven acquisitions in the last 10 years, some of which are smaller tuck-ins, but the SCP and Core Label acquisitions are destined to be game changers. Mader feels some of the best deals, however, are the ones not made. The present economy is a dangerous one in which to be overpaying for an acquisition, and Mader feels his disciplined, seasoned M&A team has a knack for reading the current market and is confident it will continue to deliver on opportunities to add tuck-ins and other types of deals with firms that fit with Southeastern, both product- and culture-wise.
