Gerresheimer has announced plans to separate its moulded glass business following a comprehensive strategic review aimed at assessing growth opportunities and competitive positioning.
The company, which serves the pharmaceutical, biotech, and cosmetic sectors, plans to initiate a sales process for this business unit.
The moulded glass division, strengthened by the acquisition of Bormioli Pharma, operates eight production facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
In 2024, this unit generated approximately €735m ($850.4m) in revenues, with an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation margin of around 20%.
As part of the integration of Bormioli Pharma, Gerresheimer is establishing the moulded glass business as a standalone entity.
Further updates on this transition will be shared during the upcoming capital markets day scheduled for 15 October 2025.

Gerresheimer CEO Dietmar Siemssen said: “We see the best growth opportunities for our newly formed Moulded Glass Powerhouse outside the Gerresheimer Group.
“As part of our strategic transformation, Gerresheimer will focus even stronger on the portfolio of systems and solutions for the pharma and biotech industry.”
