M&A Deals and Dealmakers Awards 2024

The M&A Deals and Dealmakers Awards is back for its 11th year in West Michigan, and its first time under the Crain’s Grand Rapids Business banner.

At Crain’s, we’re building on that solid foundation to highlight the sophistication and caliber of the deals that get done every year in West Michigan, as well as celebrate the work of the region’s dealmaking professionals.

Each iteration of these awards has shared a common theme in demonstrating that West Michigan punches well above its weight class when it comes to creativity and grit required to close complex deals. This year is no exception.

While M&A activity was down overall last year from recent record highs, the winners we’re celebrating here prove that good deals and exceptional leadership can happen in any market. It’s a testament to the strong business environment here in West Michigan that should set us up for even more success in the future.

Register here to join us March 28 at the JW Marriott in downtown Grand Rapids to celebrate the winners.
