United States Rigid Plastic Packaging Industry Overview
In the United States, a mix of domestic companies, including Pretium Packaging, Axium Packaging, and Altium Packaging, and international giants like Amcor Group GmbH and Aptar Group, dominate the fragmented rigid plastic packaging sector. These industry leaders are bolstering their presence in the region through strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, and product launches.
- June 2024: Berry Global, headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, unveiled its new customizable rectangular Domino bottle, offered with up to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic. Targeting the beauty, home, and personal care markets, the 250 ml Domino bottle features a 75-millimeter-wide front face and customizable side panels. This design enables printing on all four sides, providing brands with enhanced opportunities for distinctive packaging and a prominent shelf presence. Additionally, the side panels can be uniquely customized with textured embossing or debossing, adding a tactile dimension for consumers.
- April 2023: Greif finalized its previously announced all-cash deal worth USD 145 million, increasing its stake in Centurion Container from 9% to a commanding 80%. Since 2020, Greif maintained a connection with the Chicago-area company through a joint venture. While the deal awaits customary closing adjustments, it promises significant benefits. Centurion’s clientele will now have enhanced access to Greif’s range of products and services, including IBCs, drums, pails, and other industrial packaging. Additionally, Centurion’s Full Circle collection program will manage empty packaging. This strategic move not only amplifies Greif’s footprint in North America but also bolsters Centurion’s portfolio of reusable and sustainable packaging solutions.
