Peter Oswald, MM CEO: “In the 2022 financial year, the MM Group grew significantly both organically and through acquisitions in terms of earnings and sales in a macroeconomically and geopolitically challenging environment. Demand for our natural, recyclable packaging products made from renewable raw materials was dynamic for much of the year and customers value our investments in competitive locations, innovation and sustainability. The energy and raw materials crisis presented MM with special challenges that were successfully overcome overall. Selling price adjustments compensated for the massive increases in energy and raw material costs. In addition, we succeeded in ensuring the continuous supply of our customers despite unstable supply chains.

The acquisitions of Essentra Packaging and Eson Pac, completed in 2022, position MM as a global player in pharmaceutical secondary packaging and contribute to increased resilience and growth across the company. Together with the two acquisitions of the previous year in the Board & Paper division, MM Kwidzyn and MM Kotkamills, they are part of the transformation of MM to increase the added value and growth potential of the MM Group through acquisitions and operational optimization.

Income Statement
The consolidated sales of the Group reached EUR 4,682.1 million and were thus 52.5% or EUR 1,612.4 million above the previous year’s figure (2021: EUR 3,069.7 million).

At EUR 510.3 million, an operating result of EUR 240.7 million above the previous year (2021: EUR 269.6 million) was achieved.

Financial income amounted to EUR 4.3 million (2021: EUR 3.3 million). The increase in financial expenses from EUR -24.4 million to EUR -32.1 million is mainly due to the raising of promissory note loans and registered bonds in the previous year to finance acquisitions and organic growth projects.

The net income for the year thus increased by EUR 154.5 million to EUR 345.2 million (2021: EUR 190.7 million).

Case Study: Customer Achieves Brand Alignment Through Curbside Recyclable Mailing Solution

Retail giant, Amazon, recently delivered a welcome break from the political news media to report on their shift to paper packaging across a significant part of their North American operations. As detailed in a press release on June 20th, 2024, Amazon reported a transition of 95% of their box “filler” from plastic air pillows to a paper void fill solution. This multi-year transition has been enabled by significant investments in their fulfillment operations, the package design engineering teams and sourcing teams. Amazon's leadership in sustainable packaging sets an example for the industry, demonstrating how aligning packaging choices with broader business objectives and sustainability goals can lead to innovative solutions and operational efficiencies. At Pregis, we’re pleased to be an innovation partner with Amazon to support their mission to “Ensure that customers receive their items undamaged, while using as little packaging as possible to avoid waste and prioritizing recyclable materials.” We share in Amazon’s focus on protecting against damage, optimizing packaging material use and designing for circularity (in layman’s terms that means enabling recyclability at end of the products life, so it does not become landfill waste).

Sonoco ThermoSafe and Cathay Pacific Cargo Launch Global Partnership to Lease PharmaPort 360 Temperature Controlled Bulk Shippers

Sonoco ThermoSafe and Cathay Pacific Cargo announced a global partnership agreement for the leasing of the PharmaPort 360 temperature controlled bulk shipping container. The agreement enables pharmaceutical shippers to lease PharmaPort 360 containers directly from Cathay Pacific Cargo. The PharmaPort 360 utilizes proprietary hybrid technology to provide extremely precise, long duration +5C temperature control for transporting high value cargo for the world’s leading biopharmaceutical companies. Once charged, the PharmaPort functions like an active temperature controlled container without the energy consumption, heat discharge or temperature variability of other compressor-based technologies. The PharmaPort’s hybrid technology allows it to operate on battery power substantially longer than competing active units used for bulk air shipments, and it also eliminates the need for refrigerated trucks for lengthy truck lanes.
