Greif, Inc: what insiders have been doing
Greif, Inc, founded in 1877, is a Chemicals & Materials company based in Delaware, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Over the twelve months to 21 October 2026, 70 filings were filed, from 29 insiders.
On the market, 4 insiders bought (8 purchases totalling €633k) while 9 insiders sold (30 sales totalling €11.8M). Taken together, the sales exceed the purchases by €11.1M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €3.0M from Rosgaard Ole G, disclosed on 4 August 2026. The buyers include 3 senior executives and 1 finance chief.
Within a 30-day window, 6 purchases overlapped with buying by a second insider. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The last purchase on record was published on 11 February 2026, which is 252 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
Compared with its exchange (5,454 companies, median 22 filings), a count of 70 filings is above the norm. Over the whole record (from 2016), the tally stands at 70 purchases and 88 sales.
This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

About Greif, Inc
Greif, Inc. is a global industrial packaging company listed on the NYSE in the United States, and it is best known for supplying rigid packaging solutions to industrial supply chains. The company is headquartered in Delaware, Ohio, and its roots trace back to Cleveland in the early 20th century, when the business began as a cooperage operation. Over time, Greif expanded through both organic growth and acquisitions, building scale in industrial packaging while broadening its product set and international footprint.
Today, Greif’s business model is centered on multiple complementary lines. Its core portfolio includes steel, fiber and plastic drums, rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), jerrycans, closure systems, transit protection products, and other specialty packaging products. The company also offers packaging-related services such as container life cycle management, logistics, warehousing, and other support services. In addition, Greif has exposure to fiber-based and other adjacent solutions, which gives it some participation in circular-economy and materials-handling activities beyond traditional packaging.

From a competitive standpoint, Greif is a recognized player in North America and has meaningful global scale, with operations across numerous countries and a broad production network. The company has indicated it operates at more than 240 sites worldwide, including a large number of manufacturing locations, enabling it to serve a diversified customer base across chemicals, ingredients, food and beverage, lubricants, coatings, and other industrial end markets that require safe, durable, compliant packaging. Its competitive advantage is driven less by pure commodity pricing and more by reliability, product quality, customer service, proximity to customers, and the ability to deliver integrated packaging solutions.
Recent corporate developments have been strategically important. In 2025, Greif announced and then completed the divestiture of its containerboard business, which materially reshaped the portfolio and reduced its exposure to traditional paper packaging. That transaction helped increase focus on industrial packaging and supported debt reduction and cost-optimization efforts. The company has also reported continued productivity initiatives and portfolio simplification as part of its ongoing strategic repositioning. For investors, Greif stands out as an industrial packaging platform with a long operating history, global reach, and a more focused profile following recent divestitures, while still retaining cyclical exposure to industrial demand conditions.
