Our results, the second best in our 90 year history, reflect the excellence of our people and their dedication in providing the most innovative and sustainable packaging solutions for our customers. The results also demonstrate the continuing benefits of SKG’s multi-year and highly effective capital programmes.

“The demand environment for the industry in 2023 was difficult primarily due to destocking and a lack of economic activity in certain sectors, particularly durable goods. However, one trend in which we have seen strong acceleration, is an increasing demand for sustainable packaging solutions. While full year volumes for the Group were down 3.5%, we saw a progressive improvement in demand during the year, with a return to growth in the fourth quarter.
