Beatrix Praeceptor

CEO of Greiner Packaging International GmbH
(since May 2023)

Greiner Packaging achieved record sales revenue of 909 million euros in the past fiscal year. This is an increase of 17.7 percent compared to 2021. However, this change was primarily due to price increases, which the division was forced to implement rather than increased order volumes. Greiner Packaging was forced to negotiate prices with customers at the beginning of 2022 due to material shortages and rising energy and labor costs. The prices of packaging products based on cardboard went up by a particularly significant amount. Prices and availability stabilized as the situation eased for a number of product groups over the second half of 2022.

Jürgen Kleinrath

CEO of NEVEON Holding GmbH

2022 was a mixed year for NEVEON. The division company generated 732 million euros in sales revenue, a downturn of 0.3 percent year-over-year. Conditions were already challenging in February 2022 when Russia launched its war of aggression in Ukraine, leading to interrupted supply chains and a shortage of materials. Costs for materials, energy and logistics shot up, further exacerbated by inflation. Despite these challenges, NEVEON was able to hold its own.

CEO Greiner Bio-One International GmbH

Greiner Bio-One achieved 693 million euros in sales revenue, a figure that was higher than expected. This corresponds to a small increase of 0.4 percent compared to the previous year. The previous year was heavily influenced by a high level of demand for VACUETTE^® virus stabilization tubes (VST). As expected, the COVID-19 pandemic subsided after the first quarter of 2022 as demand for virus stabilization tubes went down significantly. Demand for our standard products remained high.
