Greif Announces Sale of Delta Petroleum Company

Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today announced it has sold Delta Petroleum Company, Inc. (“Delta”), a North American filling and logistics services business, to PSC Group LLC, a North American leader in product handling, site logistics, railcar repair, and sustainability services for the petrochemical, refining, and marine industries.

“We are happy to have worked with the PSC Group in a transaction that brings value to both parties,” said Ole Rosgaard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greif. “While Delta is a solid business that exemplifies our Legendary Customer Service mindset, it no longer aligns with our core growth strategy of expansion into resin-based industrial products serving higher-growth and less cyclical end markets. The transaction value reflects the quality of both the business and our people, and the funds from this sale will be used to accelerate our strategic vision.”

Georgia-Pacific is investing more than $20 million in its Lebanon, Tennessee plant

Georgia-Pacific is making a significant investment of more than $20 million at its plant in Lebanon, Tennessee. Its existing corrugator will be replaced with a new one to provide the plant with more throughput and provide customers with a better-quality product. “This is as much an investment in our current and future customers as it is in our Lebanon operations,” said Rob Streeter, Georgia-Pacific’s area general manager. “This new technologically advanced corrugator will give us the ability to supply the independent and integrated box and display customers throughout the mid-South, with upgraded offerings such as two-sided high-quality print, including Georgia-Pacific’s Hummingbird® digital print, on a variety of fluting options for the converted board.” The project will be conducted in phases through 2023 while the existing corrugator continues to operate. The planned startup of the new unit will be sometime in the first half of 2024.

Growing Tissue Capacity

A new state of the art tissue paper mill is planned by Metsa in the UK through a landmark investment of hundreds of millions of pounds. The planned tissue paper mill in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK, will use the best available technologies to manufacture 240,000 tons of tissue paper a year for the UK and Irish markets, using fresh fibre pulp as the main raw material from sustainably managed forests in the Nordics. This investment would deliver the largest tissue mill in the UK and significantly reduce the quantity of tissue products that are currently imported into the UK and Ireland each year. When operating at full capacity the mill will create 400+ direct jobs at the facility, as well as thousands more across the supply chain and the local economy.
