PACKAGING INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: Industry Structure
The gradual emergence of the Single European Market is
producing dramatic changes in the shape of the European
packaging industry. Companies which have not already done so
are organising themselves on a pan-European basis. As the
retail trade producers of consumer goods in Europe are
becoming more concentrated and internationalising at an
increasing pace, so the suppliers of packaging to these
industries are following suit. Mergers and acquisitions have
reached an amazing level. This has produced some packaging
giants with truly pan-European operations. The result in the
case of metal packaging is that this sector is now dominated
by a handful of companies. In the case of glass packaging,
national companies are still very evident in the market for
bottles and for food containers, though a process of
concentration is underway, but containers for pharmaceutical
products and cosmetics are an international market (like
their customers). Plastic packaging still remains largely
fragmented - the domain of specialist small companies - due
to the relatively low cost of entry into this industry.
Paper and carton is a sector linked to the paper industry in
general and it too has been internationalising at a furious
pace.
One reason why packaging companies have tended to remain
national companies in the past is because plants need to be
near their customers. It is not economical to transport
empty cans or bottles over long distances. Hence even the
packaging groups that have formed still tend to have a large
number of manufacturing sites and/or subsidiary companies
spread around in order to maintain this pattern of local
manufacture.
As a result of considerable acquisition and merger activity
over recent years, two French companies have the leading
sales of packaging. The integrated aluminium producer
Pechiney leads the industry in terms of its global sales of
packaging, followed by CMB Packaging (formerly Carnaud Metal
Box). However, CMB Packaging is the European market leader,
as it leads in terms of its share of the European packaging
market. Tetra Pak, the Swedish producer of laminated
cartons - which does not publish its accounts - is thought
to lie in third place, followed by Saint Gobain, the French
glass, construction and industrial materials conglomerate.
Two North American companies with extensive European
interests have sales which would put them before and after
Saint Gobain, which is in fourth place. Germany's VIAG group
comes fifth, the specialist Dutch packaging company, Van
Leer, sixth and the Swedish forest products company SCA,
seventh. Another Swedish company, the specialist packaging
group PLM, comes ninth, after the mainly food-based BSN in
eighth position, and is followed by the Dutch printing-based
Buehrmann-Tetterode in tenth place.
Excluding the four North American firms in the list and also
the two subsidiaries of European firms listed along with
their parent companies, gives a total 1990 packaging
turnover of ECU23,707 divided among 21 European companies.
As an indicator it is interesting to note that this amounts
to 41% of estimated total value of packaging produced by the
European industry (see section IV) - note also, however,
that the turnover figures cover consolidated global output
of packaging by European producers, not just European
output, which therefore inflates the resulting percentage.
The table below lists sales of the major European packaging
companies. North American companies with important levels of
business in the European market are also included for
purposes of comparison, though they do not, of course, enter
into the picture for the purpose of ranking strictly
European companies.
