Earnings Scheduled For February 26, 2025

Greif (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GEF#NYSE">GEF</a>, GEF.B))), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, announced today it will permanently cease production on the Number 1 Paperboard Machine (A1) in Austell, GA and permanently close the containerboard and uncoated recycled paperboard (URB) mill in Fitchburg, MA.
In total, approximately 140 positions will be impacted. Ceasing production at A1 – a non-integrated URB asset for the company - is a result of increased cost and declining demand in its major end use markets of furniture, books, and binders. The combination of high operating costs and the need for significant capital investment were the determining factors in the decision to close the Fitchburg mill. Together, these actions will reduce the containerboard capacity of Greif's mill network by 100,000 tons, and URB capacity by 90,000 tons.
