The story

The company was founded in Cleveland in 1877 as "Vanderwyst and Greif" by Charles Greif and his partner Albert Vanderwyst. After three brothers from the Greif family joined the company, it was renamed Greif Bros. Company, and focused on cooperage for the transportation of post-Civil War goods. In 1926, the company made its first public offering as The Greif Bros. Cooperage Corporation.

In 1951, the headquarters was moved from Cleveland to its current location in Delaware. In 1955, the company began producing fibre drums, followed by the introduction of plastic drum technology in 1964. Under the leadership of John C. Dempsey, the company transitioned out of the cooperage industry and into industrial packaging, formally dropping the Cooperage from its name in 1969.

By 1980, the company had approximately 100 manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada. Today, spanning across 250+ facilities in 37 countries.

In the late 1990s, and early 2000s, Greif made a significant number of purchases of packaging and industrial businesses. Most notable among these was its purchase of the industrial packaging business of Finnish company Huhtamaeki Van Leer Oyj in 2000 for $620 million, which doubled the size of the company.

On February 11, 2019, Greif completed the acquisition of Caraustar Industries, a manufacturer of recycled materials and paper products with locations in the United States and Canada. Greif purchased Caraustar for $1.8 billion. In 2022, Greif acquired Lee Container, enhancing its plastic jerrycan production and North American footprint.

In August 2023, it was announced Greif had acquired a 51% stake in the Urbana, OH-headquartered paper partitions supplier, ColePak. Most recently, in 2024, Greif acquired Ipackchem, a global leader in barrier packaging for chemicals and food, further diversifying its product offerings.

Legal proceedings

We are not a party to any pending legal proceedings that are material to our business or financial condition.

From time to time, we have been a party to legal proceedings arising at the country, state or local level involving environmental sites to which we have shipped, directly or indirectly, small amounts of toxic waste, such as paint solvents. As of the filing date of this Form 10-KT, we have been classified only as a “de minimis” participant in such proceedings. We are not a party to any legal proceedings involving a governmental authority and arising under any federal, state or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primarily for the purpose of protecting the environment and involving potential monetary sanctions in excess of $300,000, other than as described below.

On February 7, 2023, TPG Plastics (“TPG”), a subsidiary of Ipackchem Group SAS, which we acquired on March 26, 2024, received a letter from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“U.S. EPA”) informing TPG that the U.S. EPA had determined through testing that certain portable fuel containers (“PFCs”) that were sold between 2018 and 2022 had failed emission testing. TPG also received a letter from The California Air Resources Board (“CARB”), dated November 7, 2023, informing TPG that compliance testing performed by CARB revealed that certain PFCs sold in 2018 to 2022 were noncompliant with California’s PFC performance standards. TPG had already discontinued the manufacture of PFCs that were the subject of the U.S. EPA in and CARB letters before the end of 2022.

We have cooperated with the governmental agencies in these investigations and proceedings. As of the filing date of this Form 10-KT, we expect to pay a penalty of $525,000 to CARB. No other citations have been issued or other fines assessed with respect to any of these proceedings.
