Silgan Holdings Inc. has reported a 15% year-on-year increase in third quarter 2025 sales to $2.01 billion, driven by growth in its metal containers and dispensing and specialty closures businesses, as well as the integration of its Weener Plastics acquisition.

Net income rose to $113.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, up from $100.1 million and $0.93 per share a year earlier. Adjusted earnings per share edged up 1% to $1.22.

President and CEO Adam Greenlee said the results reflected the company’s “strategic growth initiatives” and “resilient performance” despite softer demand in some North American markets. “Our Metal Containers business delivered mid-single digit volume growth in the quarter, with double-digit gains in pet food products,” he said.

Silgan’s Dispensing and Specialty Closures segment posted record results, with Adjusted EBIT up 19% to $113.5 million, supported by strong sales in fragrance dispensing products and the contribution from Weener. Net sales in the segment climbed 23% to $690.4 million.

The Metal Containers segment recorded net sales of $1.16 billion, up 13% year-on-year, driven by higher raw material costs and a 4% increase in volume, including robust growth in pet food packaging. Adjusted EBIT for the segment was $95.8 million, slightly below last year’s $97.1 million, due to less favourable price/mix.

Silgan’s Custom Containers segment achieved record third-quarter Adjusted EBIT of $23.1 million, up from $20 million in 2024, aided by cost reductions and improved pricing.

Looking ahead, the company lowered its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS forecast to $3.66–$3.76, citing weaker demand for personal care and home care packaging in North America, a higher tax rate, and increased interest expense following a euro bond issuance.

Despite these headwinds, Greenlee said Silgan remains well-positioned for continued growth: “We believe our portfolio of consumer staple products will continue to outpace our end markets, setting us up for earnings growth in 2026 and beyond.”
