Greif (GEF) Stock
Global industrial packaging manufacturer serving diverse industry customers. Here's the price, business snapshot, and what's worth knowing about Greif in September 2026.
Greif, Inc. is a global manufacturer of industrial packaging and container products — from steel, plastic and fibre drums to intermediate bulk containers and containerboard. Investors should know Greif serves a broad set of industries (chemical, food, petroleum and industrial products) and derives revenue from both product sales and value-added services such as reconditioning and filling. Its performance is cyclical, linked to industrial production and commodity prices, and margins can be affected by raw-material, energy and freight costs as well as currency moves. Management has pursued acquisitions and operational improvements to enhance scale and margins while investing in recycling and circular solutions. With a market capitalisation near $2.9bn, Greif is a mid‑cap exposure to industrial packaging — potentially interesting for investors seeking cyclical industrial plays, but not without risk.
