Huhtamaki Oyj
Investor Relations

Huhtamaki Oyj makes packaging for food and drink. It sells disposable cups, lids, bowls, trays, egg cartons, and flexible packaging used by restaurants, coffee chains, food brands, and grocery companies. A lot of its products are designed to protect food, keep it fresh, and make it easy to serve or take away. The company earns money by selling packaging to large customers that need steady supply and consistent quality. Its main buyers include foodservice chains, packaged food companies, and retailers that buy packaging in bulk and often sign long-term supply relationships. Huhtamaki also makes a range of items from paper fiber, plastic, and other materials, which lets it serve different uses in the food packaging chain. What makes Huhtamaki different is its role as a specialist packaging supplier rather than a consumer brand. It sits behind the scenes between food makers and the final customer, turning materials into practical packaging that has to meet hygiene, branding, and logistics needs. That makes it a utility-like business tied to everyday food consumption and the packaging needs of global brands.

AI Summary
Q2 2026

Solid quarter: Huhtamaki reported 2% comparable sales growth, adjusted EBIT up 1%, and a 10.3% margin despite a EUR 2 million currency headwind.

Flexible Packaging: The segment saw strong volume growth and a 14% comparable sales increase in Q2, with management saying the improvement was driven by real operational progress, not prebuying.

North America: The business is still working through operational issues tied mainly to start-ups in Hammond and Paris, and management said the fix will take time, even though the segment delivered volume growth in the first half.

Costs passed through: Management said steep raw material, energy, and logistics inflation tied to Middle East disruption was passed through to customers, with no net benefit to the company.

Cash and balance sheet: Huhtamaki delivered its fifth straight quarter of positive cash flow, cut net debt to flat 2x, and renewed financing with a EUR 300 million bond at 3.875%.

Outlook stable: Management kept its outlook unchanged and said the second half remains shaped by geopolitical uncertainty, consumer confidence pressure, and continued cost discipline.
