In 2022, we have underscored our commitment to using recycled material in our packaging by acquiring a PET recycling company – Greiner Recycling d.o.o.
Additionally, it goes without saying that our products are also visually appealing. Our own design department, DesPro, ensures that this is the case.By the way: we can do even more.

1868: The Greiner family business is founded
The family business is born when Carl Albert Greiner and his wife, Emilie, open a small general store in Nürtingen, Germany.
1960: Greiner Packaging takes off
Cork and foam manufacturer Greiner purchases two injection molding machines. Twist caps for bottle closures, spouts, pill packaging, and round tins are among Greiner Packaging’s first products and represent the starting point for plastic packaging that meets the very highest standards.
1987: Greiner begins producing its own sheets
Greiner Packaging produces its own multilayer sheets for the first time. Regranulated materials are incorporated into the middle layer. This represents a perfect example of the company’s already advanced requirements for its packaging.
1989: Greiner Packaging goes East
Greiner Packaging is one of the first Austrian companies to expand into Eastern Europe after the fall of the Berlin Wall. These first steps toward expansion take place in Hungary and the Czech Republic, and Greiner Packaging continues to consistently implement this expansion strategy in the coming years as well.
2000: Greiner Packaging introduces cardboard-plastic combinations
Greiner Packaging begins producing cups made of cardboard-plastic combinations with the acquisition of a packaging facility in Diepoldsau, Switzerland. The pioneering packaging called K3® develops to become a successful product from the very beginning.
2006: The Assistec business unit is established
The Greiner Assistec business unit originates from the “technical components” production area, which has been part of the company for many years. Thanks to this new business unit, customer needs can be met in an even more targeted way.
2010: First business activities in North America
Greiner Packaging opens its first location outside Europe in Monterrey, Mexico. The Assistec business unit develops the market in cooperation with an international customer. The first US location in Pittston, Pennsylvania, follows several years later.
2014: “Plastics for Life” sustainability strategy initiated
As part of global company Greiner AG, Greiner Packaging lives up to its special responsibility as a packaging specialist.
2018: Greiner: 150 years
Greiner celebrates 150 years as a company. The festivities also include the opening of the Greiner Campus in Kremsmünster, Austria – a cutting-edge workshop dedicated in part to trainee plastics engineers.
2019: Greiner publishes first Sustainability Report
In June 2019, Greiner AG publishes its first Sustainability Report, setting ambitious goals for the company.
2022: Entering the recycling busines
In August 2020, Greiner Packaging took a clear step toward sustainable development as a business, completing the takeover of Serbian recycling company ALWAG, which has since been renamed Greiner Recycling d.o.o.
