Winston Score History

The full picture

Greif is a large industrial packaging company that makes containers used to ship and store products like chemicals, food ingredients, and petroleum. Its main products include steel and plastic drums, intermediate bulk containers, corrugated boxes, and containerboard. The company also offers services to recondition and recycle used packaging, making it one of the biggest players in the industrial packaging market.

Greif earns revenue by selling packaging products and related services to manufacturers and distributors across more than 40 countries. Its global manufacturing footprint and long customer relationships give it a scale advantage that smaller competitors struggle to match. The business is tied to industrial production cycles, so economic slowdowns can reduce demand and pressure margins — a key risk given its relatively thin operating margins.
