Letter from the President
2024 has once again been a year of strong growth for our Group. We have achieved these results despite an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape and growing uncertainty in the markets — factors that continue to pose risks for medium- to long-term investments and projects. This makes us even more grateful for the trust our customers place in us, choosing us once again as their partner in delivering increasingly sustainable packaging solutions.
Every new project we develop embraces key sustainability principles — recyclability, compostability, lightweighting, and the use of innovative materials — tailored to the specific needs of the products offered by our divisions: Home & Care, Food, and Pharma. At Guala Dispensing, we have long been committed to these priorities, working proactively with customers and suppliers to anticipate future regulatory and market requirements.
Some key figures from this Sustainability Report illustrate that commitment:
-
100 patent families
-
9% of employees involved in R&D activities
-
5% of revenue invested in R&D
-
90% of sales generated from sustainable products
But the Report tells a broader story: the value of our people, the performance of our production sites, and the strong ties we maintain with the communities around us.
I encourage everyone to read it carefully.
Sustainability, innovation, and collaboration remain the core values that guide every decision we make.
Every day, we take on new challenges with the ambition to continually improve the quality of our products, ensure a safe and inspiring workplace, and contribute responsibly to the well-being of our communities and the environment in which we operate.
We look to the future with optimism and determination, supported by a robust investment plan and a portfolio of new projects that will bring fresh energy and drive the launch of new products to support our continued growth.
In this context, the significant organizational changes we have recently begun represent another strategic step to strengthen our structure and equip us to seize the opportunities ahead.
In May 2025, we appointed a new CEO. His vision and expertise will play a vital role in steering Guala Dispensing through future challenges — further reinforcing the values that define us and strengthening our leadership position in the market.
I wish you an insightful and engaging read.
Stefano Guala
President
