Facts and figures
Tradition and vision characterize the development of the internationally active Greiner Group. It is one of the leading enterprises in the foamed material and plastics industry. Established in 1868 in Germany and in 1899 in Austria, the 100% family-owned group of enterprises combines the know-how of a network organization with the high innovation and flexibility of legally independent enterprise units. The diversification of products and markets is typical of the Greiner Group and a guarantor for continuous growth.
Today the group of enterprises includes 116 locations (both for production and sales) around the globe, permitting the associated units of the enterprise, partly local and partly global players, to perfectly focus their activities on customer requirements and the demands of the market. In the business year 2009 a total of 7,220 employees achieved a consolidated turnover of 1.031 billion euros. The Greiner Group consists of two holding companies, the Greiner Holding AG and Greiner Bio-One International AG. The group is managed by the directors Dr. Axel Greiner and Dipl.-Bw. Axel Kühner.
