Verallia SA
Verallia makes glass containers for food and drinks. Its main products are bottles and jars used by wineries, spirits makers, beer companies, soft drink brands, and food producers. The company sells these packs to industrial customers that need glass packaging to protect the product, preserve taste, and support branding on store shelves. Verallia earns most of its money by producing and selling glass packaging, then charging customers for the containers they order. It also works closely with customers on bottle shape, weight, color, and decoration, so its products can fit a brand’s identity and filling process. This makes the company an important supplier in the packaging chain rather than a consumer brand itself. Its business is different from many manufacturers because glass packaging is often tied to repeat orders, long-term customer relationships, and strict quality needs. Customers choose glass when they want a material that is recyclable, inert, and associated with premium food and beverage products. That gives Verallia a focused role in a market where product design, reliability, and manufacturing consistency matter a lot.

Q1 beat: Verallia reported Q1 revenue of EUR 798 million, down 2.4% year over year, but adjusted EBITDA rose 8.3% to EUR 159 million and margin improved to 19.9%.
Volumes stable: Overall volumes were essentially flat, with strength in food jars and spirits offsetting weaker nonalcoholic beverages and sparkling wines.
Pricing normalizing: Management said price/mix was still a headwind, but much less severe than before and now moving toward a normalized environment.
Restructuring underway: The company is closing capacity in Germany, France and the U.K. as planned, with the full impact expected in H2.
Full-year outlook: Verallia reaffirmed 2026 guidance for around EUR 700 million of adjusted EBITDA and around EUR 220 million of free cash flow, excluding restructuring cash costs.
Cost savings: Management expects about EUR 20 million of net run-rate EBITDA benefit from the footprint plan, with roughly half of the benefit expected in 2026.
