“Silgan delivered another quarter of strong results in the first quarter that were at the high end of our expected range, as our business continues to outpace the trends in the markets we serve. Our teams are focused on executing our plan for 2026 and delivering on our long term strategic growth initiatives, as our market leading innovation, differentiated customer partnership model, and operational excellence continue to set us apart in our markets,” said Adam Greenlee, President and CEO. “Our business continued to demonstrate resiliency in the first quarter amidst evolving market trends, mixed consumer sentiment and renewed geopolitical uncertainty and is well positioned to deliver strong results in the second quarter and beyond,” continued Mr. Greenlee. “Our Dispensing business remains advantaged in the marketplace as our unique combination of new product innovation, operational excellence, and our highly focused customer partnership model continue to be rewarded with incremental growth opportunities. Our growing fragrance and beauty dispensing solutions delivered another quarter of double-digit growth, and with the Weener acquisition fully integrated we see additional opportunities for incremental innovation and commercial success. Our Metal Containers business continued to show strong growth in the quarter with double digit volume growth in pet food products despite significant inflation in raw material costs as a result of steel and aluminum tariffs. In Custom Containers, our teams successfully navigated the conclusion of customer destocking and closely managed costs to mitigate its impact on profit, and we are seeing incremental opportunities to drive long-term growth with new and existing customers in the market. Our business is off to a solid start in 2026, and we are on track to deliver our increased financial targets for the year. The strength of our teams, the power of our portfolio, and the value of our disciplined capital deployment model continue to deliver meaningful opportunity for shareholder value creation in 2026 and beyond,” concluded Mr. Greenlee.
