Food and beverage-focused Butterfly Equity is continuing its push into packaging following its acquisition of ePac earlier in 2026.

• Los Angeles-based private equity firm Butterfly Equity announced Tuesday it has agreed to acquire Sayreville, New Jersey-based Sabert, a notable player in the food packaging and hot and cold food service product markets.
• Butterfly said the deal furthers its strategy of investing in “businesses that power the evolving food and beverage segment, including packaging.” The firm previously acquired digitally printed flexible packaging specialist ePac in January. 
• They expect the deal to close in the fourth quarter. Financial terms were not disclosed. Albert Salama, founder and executive chairman of Sabert, will remain a minority investor.
