Description: GEF-B Greif January 16, 2026

Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF-B) is a global industrial-packaging company operating through four segments: Customized Polymer Solutions (plastic drums, IBCs, and small containers), Durable Metal Solutions (steel drums for chemicals, petroleum, agriculture, and coatings), Sustainable Fiber Solutions (recycled-board drums, tubes, cores, and specialty partitions), and Integrated Solutions (paints, linings, closures, and related services). The firm also offers container life-cycle management, logistics, warehousing, and sells recycled fiber and adhesives, leveraging its heritage dating back to 1877.

Key operational metrics show the business’s resilience: FY-2024 revenue was approximately $4.1 billion with an adjusted EBITDA margin of ~13%, while the Sustainable Fiber segment contributed over 30% of total sales, reflecting strong demand for recycled packaging amid tightening environmental regulations. Greif’s exposure to commodity price cycles (steel, resin, and recycled fiber) and its strategic focus on “circular economy” solutions are primary drivers of earnings volatility and growth potential.
