At Greif, our ability to serve customers starts with the people leading our operations every day.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

That is why Greif recently brought together\u00a0nearly 200\u00a0Plant Managers from across our global manufacturing footprint for the first Plant Managers Forum in our company\u2019s history. The purpose was to help make the best of Greif more consistent across every facility, every\u00a0shift\u00a0and every customer experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Strengthening Safety, Quality and Service<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

Customers depend on Greif for packaging solutions that are safe,\u00a0reliable\u00a0and delivered to specifications. Meeting that expectation across a global business takes more than individual experience at\u00a0a single location. It requires shared tools, disciplined\u00a0processes\u00a0and a consistent way to turn operational knowledge into better performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Greif Business System helps make that possible. It gives plant leaders a common approach for improving how work gets done, from\u00a0identifying\u00a0issues earlier to reducing waste and strengthening reliability. Over time, those daily improvements show up in the ways that matter most to customers: dependable quality, responsive\u00a0service\u00a0and greater confidence in supply.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

During the forum, Plant Managers spent time connecting these operational practices to customer outcomes.\u00a0Discussions focused on value creation at the plant level, operational discipline, performance\u00a0visibility\u00a0and real examples of how value can be protected or lost in daily operations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The goal was not only to discuss what works. It was to help leaders take practical ideas back to their facilities and apply them in ways that improve performance for the customers we serve.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

More Than 2,200 Years of Operational Experience<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

The forum also created space for plant leaders to learn from one another. Participants joined from across\u00a0our Fiber, Steel, Polymer and Closures teams,\u00a0representing\u00a040 countries and regions and more than 2,200 combined years of Greif experience.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

As a\u00a0nearly\u00a0150-year-old\u00a0company,\u00a0that depth of knowledge is one of Greif\u2019s strengths. Our plant leaders understand the products we make, the processes behind\u00a0them\u00a0and the expectations customers bring to every order. Many have built their\u00a0expertise\u00a0over decades on the plant floor and in operational leadership roles. Others bring fresh perspectives that help us continue challenging the way work gets done.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

When one facility finds a better way to reduce downtime, improve\u00a0changeovers\u00a0or strengthen quality, that knowledge should not stay in one place. Bringing plant leaders together helps proven practices move faster across the business and creates more opportunities to apply what is already working.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Creating Customer Value Through One Greif<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>

For customers, the benefit is stronger\u00a0operations\u00a0behind every product and service Greif provides. The experience of our plant leaders, combined with the discipline of the Greif Business System, helps us improve how work gets done across our manufacturing footprint.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

That means better visibility, faster\u00a0action\u00a0and a continued focus on the quality and service customers expect from Greif.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The first Plant Managers Forum reinforced what it means to\u00a0operate\u00a0as One Greif. It brought together the people who turn strategy into action, connect daily operations to customer\u00a0needs\u00a0and\u00a0execute\u00a0the systems that\u00a0will help\u00a0ensure\u00a0Greif\u2019s success\u00a0today and\u00a0for the next 150 years and beyond.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

From the moment agricultural inputs leave production to the moment they\u2019re applied in the field, performance matters. Greif delivers that assurance with Jerrycans and plastic packaging<\/a> built for reliability, protection, and efficiency. Because stronger packaging doesn\u2019t just support agriculture, it helps it thrive.<\/p>

Designed for Safety, Durability & Sustainability<\/h3>

Greif\u2019s jerrycans and small plastics are primarily manufactured from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), offering a strong yet lightweight solution for handling a wide range of agricultural liquids. Whether used for fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides, or crop protection products, these containers are engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.<\/p>
