GPK

Graphic Packaging Holding Company designs, manufactures, and sells paper-based packaging solutions primarily for the food, beverage, and consumer products industries. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company operates as one of the largest producers of folding cartons and fiber-based foodservice products in North America. GPK serves major consumer brands through an integrated business model that includes recycled paperboard mills, converting operations, and a network of manufacturing facilities across the United States and internationally. The company produces approximately 4 million tons of coated recycled board annually and employs around 24,000 people across more than 130 locations worldwide. The company's product portfolio includes paperboard cartons for beverages, frozen and refrigerated foods, pet food, and microwave packaging, along with cups, containers, and specialty packaging for foodservice applications. GPK holds leading market positions in multiple segments, particularly in beverage multi-pack carriers and cereal cartons. In recent years, the company has focused on expanding its fiber-based packaging solutions as brands shift away from plastic, investing in capacity expansions and sustainable packaging innovations. The 2021 acquisition of AR Packaging strengthened GPK's European presence and added premium consumer packaging capabilities, significantly expanding its geographic footprint and product offerings in the growing sustainable packaging market.
