Key Points

- The company achieved a strong EBITDA of 45 million EUR, maintaining a 15.5% margin level.
- Elopak ASA is expanding its capacity in the Americas with a 25 million EUR investment in a second line at the Arkansas plant, which will more than double its capacity.
- The company is seeing solid growth in its core Pure-Pak business, particularly in Northern and Central Europe and the Americas.
- Elopak ASA's strategic initiatives, including the Repackaging Tomorrow strategy, aim to enhance its leadership in sustainable carton packaging and target a 15-17% margin level.
- The company faced challenges in the supply chain, particularly in the Americas, due to a supplier's maintenance issues, impacting production capacity.
- There is a softer demand in Southern Europe and MENA regions, driven by strained consumer spending, affecting volume growth.
- Elopak ASA experienced a decrease in EBITDA compared to Q3 of the previous year, partly due to a one-off effect in the prior year.
