- Resilient overall performance: Greiner generated revenue of approximately EUR 1.94 billion in the 2025 financial year, achieving stable development in an overall challenging market environment.
- Varying performance across divisions: Greiner Packaging grew through the acquisition of new customers and was able to further strengthen its position. Greiner Bio-One and NEVEON are responding to an overall challenging market environment with targeted measures. With Mediscan as an independent division, Greiner is taking the next step in its portfolio strategy and creating targeted growth opportunities.
- Clear strategic priorities: Further strengthening corporate resilience, enhancing operational performance, and a targeted strategic focus on sustainable, long-term value creation.
Greiner AG, a leading global supplier of plastic and foam solutions, demonstrated stable development during the 2025 financial year in an environment shaped by geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and volatile markets. Consolidated group revenue amounted to approximately EUR 1.94 billion, placing it slightly below the previous yearās level. The Groupās broad diversification proved to be a factor of stability: positive developments in individual business areas largely offset declines in others. In parallel, Greiner purposefully aligned its portfolio with new, future-oriented business fields and invested in the further development of expertise and sustainable value creation.
"The strength of a resilient portfolio is particularly evident in an increasingly challenging environment. Against this backdrop, our focus was on securing stability as well as further developing the strategic alignment of our portfolio."
Saori Dubourg, CEO of Greiner AG
Varying performance across the divisions
Performance across the divisions in 2025 reflected the differing market conditions:
Greiner Packaging achieved revenue of approximately EUR 902 million in the 2025 financial year. The division performed positively in a demanding market environment and benefited specifically from the acquisition of new customers and the targeted expansion of its customer segments, including in North America. Innovative packaging solutions and a broad international presence strengthened its market position.
Greiner Bio-One generated revenue of approximately EUR 637 million. The financial year was shaped by increased regulatory requirements as well as slowed growth in certain core markets, particularly in the USA following cuts in research funding for US health economics. The division implemented targeted measures to strengthen operational stability.
As part of the strategic further development of the portfolio, Greiner has decided to manage Greiner Mediscan as an independent division starting in 2026. This strengthens the Groupās sterilization business and creates clear growth prospects in an attractive market.
NEVEON generated revenue of approximately EUR 408 million in 2025. As expected, the persistently difficult market situation in key sales markets ā particularly in the furniture and mattress industries ā led to a challenging financial year. NEVEON consistently addressed this market situation through targeted portfolio and site measures, while simultaneously making targeted investments in research and development, including new R&D hubs.
Targeted investments and a clear operational focus
In the 2025 financial year, Greiner invested approximately EUR 106 million group-wide. The investments followed clear prioritization and were based on forward-looking assumptions regarding market and technology developments. The focus was on selected production sites, efficiency increases, and strategic topics of the future, such as digitalization, automation, and innovation.
āFrom a financial perspective, 2025 was characterized by clear prioritization and disciplined management. A robust cost base creates the foundation for being able to invest in a targeted manner even in times of uncertainty.ā
Hannes Moser, CFO of Greiner AG
A majority of the investments were made in Europe, supplemented by targeted expansion programs in international markets, particularly in North America.
At the same time, Greiner sharpened its group-wide operational focus: processes were further harmonized and group-wide standards were strengthened. With Marcus Morawietz taking over the COO role, operational and commercial excellence along the entire value chain came even more sharply into focus.
āOperationally and commercially, we are focusing consistently on excellence ā from procurement and production to customer interaction. At the same time, the aim is to leverage our competencies across divisions and sites even more effectively and to realize further synergies.ā
Marcus Morawietz, COO of Greiner AG
Sustainability as a central component of competitiveness
Sustainability remains an integral element of the strategic focus in 2025. Greiner was once again awarded Platinum status in the EcoVadis rating and thus continues to be among the top one percent of companies evaluated worldwide. Furthermore, the share of renewable energy in group-wide electricity consumption was increased further. Driven by conviction and a clear corporate stance, Greiner is publishing its first voluntary CSRD-compliant annual report in 2025.
Outlook: A stable foundation today, clearly aligned for the next phase
Based on strengthened resilience and a robust cost structure, clearly defined strategic priorities, and value-based corporate management, Greiner AG considers itself well-positioned for the current financial year. The strategic focus is on the further development of the portfolio, the consistent increase of operational and commercial performance, and long-term sustainable value development.
āWe are acting from a position of stability and are shaping the next phase of the Groupās development in a deliberate and focused manner,ā says Saori Dubourg. āOur aim is to permanently link entrepreneurial responsibility, economic performance, and future-proof value creation.ā
