Samuel Sigrist, CEO, said: “We are pleased to report an increase in revenue of 5.1%, at constant currency, for Q3 2024, or 4.6% at constant currency and resin. This demonstrates the resilience embedded in our business through our global footprint with exposure to high growth emerging markets, the strength of our product categories and our ability to drive expansion through our differentiated technology. SIG remains well positioned to outpace market growth.
The bag-in-box operations experienced a notable improvement in revenue performance during the third quarter, and we anticipate further progress in the final quarter of the year. Capacity constraints at our facilities in the US are easing as we address the production challenges.”
