DELAWARE, Ohio, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greif, Inc. (NYSE: GEF, GEF.B), a global leader in industrial packaging products and services, today announced it has sold Delta Petroleum Company, Inc. ("Delta"), a North American filling and logistics services business, to PSC Group LLC, a North American leader in product handling, site logistics, railcar repair, and sustainability services for the petrochemical, refining, and marine industries.
"We are happy to have worked with the PSC Group in a transaction that brings value to both parties," said Ole Rosgaard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Greif. "While Delta is a solid business that exemplifies our Legendary Customer Service mindset, it no longer aligns with our core growth strategy of expansion into resin-based industrial products serving higher-growth and less cyclical end markets. The transaction value reflects the quality of both the business and our people, and the funds from this sale will be used to accelerate our strategic vision."
