According to “Portal Packaging” the Empapel association (Home - Empapel) reported a 5.4% increase in demand for Brazilian Corrugated Paper&Products during the first half of 2024. While the actual Operating Rate of the Sector is always challenging to pinpoint, we can use a range to predict the future market condition in the country. Considering the current installed capacity for Corrugated Paper in Brazil, an interesting scenario can be drafted by assuming only half of the 5.4% annual market growth. (Note: Imports of this grade of paper in Brazil are not significant.) #pulp #pulpandpaper #pulpandpaperindustry #packaging #packagingindustry #strategy #tissue #riskmanagement #strategy #pricing #forecast

Vidrala's glass sales boosted by Brazil and UK demand Glass sales in Brazil and the UK helped increase Vidrala's financials for the first nine months of 2024. Overall revenue was driven by a 9% growth in volume it said. The Spanish-headquartered glassmaker said it was benefitting from a 2023 capacity expansion at the former Vidroporto S/A site in #Brazil. Its Brazilian #growth was up by 60%, driven by sales of #beer #bottles. In the #UK, it said its commercial proposition had helped it gain sales. It warned that sales in the Continental #Europe market - which accounts for half its business - were flat. In its latest financial note, it said overall sales were up 1.9% for the first nine months of the year compared to the same period in 2023. Sales were recorded at €1.216 billion from €1.194 billion the year before. Its Ebita also increased by 7% compared to the same period last year. Speaking to analysts, CEO Raul Gomez, said: "Brazil is a platform for growth for us. We are running at full capacity and we are successfully capturing new sales." In the UK its integration of its filling business in #Bristol, UK plus volume growth had boosted sales, despite a weak organic #environment. "In the UK, our unique particular commercial approach is helping us to capture some sales volumes. "We are running there again at close to full capacity, and that's the reason of our confidence in our margins in the UK." #glass #industry #manufacturing #wines #spirits #economy #spain Pictured: Beer bottle sales at Vidrala's Vidroporto S/A sites in Brazil helped increase the Spanish glassmakers financial growth

Our own-label plant-based range is getting a major refresh 👊 We’re more than tripling the number of products we stock in our stores! 🌱 Vemondo Plant! features 28 new items that will be launching in selected stores from this month, with a full roll out by January 2025. Customers can expect even more affordable, high-quality and delicious options as part of our ongoing commitment to healthy and sustainable choices. Through this new range, we’re committing to providing market-leading prices, ensuring plant-based products are accessible to more shoppers. Along with increased visibility in store through a dedicated plant-based fixture, as well as increased marketing, we’re set to increase sales further, with plant-based protein sales (tonnage) accounting for 25% of our total protein sales by 2030. This is an industry-leading target that supports the shift towards meeting the EAT Lancet Planetary Health Diet 2050 goals. 💬 Richard Bourns, our Chief Commercial Officer, said: “Meat, poultry and dairy play an important role in our diets, which is why we’re investing heavily in British farming to ensure that our suppliers are set up for future growth… At the same time, we know that as a society we need to incorporate more plant-based foods into our diets to ensure balance. That’s why we are proudly standing behind the planetary health diet, which is key to achieving a more healthy and sustainable future and supports our Net-Zero ambitions. “We’re the first UK retailer to set specific plant-based protein targets and are committed to breaking down key barriers that currently exist within the category, like price, quality, and availability… making high quality plant-based foods accessible to everyone.” We’re also honoured to share that later today we’ll be recognised by Compassion in World Farming for our leadership position in promoting plant-based alternatives at the Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards 🥳 #PlantBased #Sustainability #Lidl #Vemondo #HealthyChoices #PlanetFriendly
