Sonoco Products Company, a global leader in high-value sustainable packaging, has issued its 2025 Annual Report to Shareholders and announced the date for its 2026 Annual General Meeting.
The annual report details the Company’s 2025 financial results, its strategy and the transformation of the business to create a more focused, simplified and stronger company.
“Our objective in focusing our portfolio was straightforward: to improve the quality, predictability and durability of our earnings and cash flow while creating long term value for our shareholders,” said Howard Coker, president and CEO. “Our Future is in Focus, and we believe there is much more we can accomplish by focusing on our strategic priorities of sustainable growth, margin improvement and efficient capital allocation in the years to come.”
Sonoco has simplified its business structure by leaving non-core activities and concentrating resources on its global packaging platforms. Since 2020, the company has reduced its portfolio from 20 businesses to two core operating segments.
Recently, the company completed several divestitures as part of this strategy. The company sold its Thermoformed and Flexibles Packaging and global Trident businesses to TOPPAN Holdings Inc. for about $1.8 billion. Later in the year, it sold its ThermoSafe.
