Top 10 France Packaging Companies by Revenue 2026

France’s packaging sector remains one of Europe’s most important packaging markets in 2026, supported by food, beverage, beauty, healthcare, e-commerce and industrial demand. The France packaging market is estimated at $32.88 billion in 2026, with growth expected through 2031 despite pressure from EPR fees, France’s AGEC law and the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.

This ranking focuses on France-headquartered, France-origin, or France-based packaging groups with major French industrial or commercial relevance. Revenue figures use the latest reported or available company data. Where companies are private, figures are marked as approximate.

At a glance

1. Verallia

Verallia leads the France packaging ranking by revenue. The company reported 2025 revenue of €3.331 billion, down 3.6% from 2024, while returning to organic volume growth.

The group is best known for glass bottles and jars used across wine, spirits, beer, soft drinks and food. Its position is especially important for French wine, champagne, cognac and premium food producers.

For buyers, Verallia matters because glass remains a core format where recyclability, premium appearance and brand identity still carry high value.

2. Antalis

Antalis is one of Europe’s major distributors of papers, industrial packaging and visual communication products. It is headquartered in the Paris area and operates across 31 countries with more than 100,000 customers.

Its revenue is not always separated cleanly from parent group reporting, but market estimates put Antalis at around $1.8 billion annually.

Antalis is not a pure manufacturer, but it remains highly relevant to France packaging because it supplies packaging materials, paper, boards and industrial packaging solutions to business customers.

3. Albéa

Albéa is one of France’s strongest beauty and personal care packaging groups. The company reports $1.2 billion in 2024 sales, with 13,500 employees and 37 industrial sites.

Its core markets include tubes, cosmetic packaging, fragrance components and personal care formats.

For France, Albéa sits at the centre of the beauty packaging supply chain. That matters because France remains a global base for cosmetics, perfume and premium personal care brands.

4. Saverglass

Saverglass is a major French-origin glass packaging specialist focused on premium spirits, wine and luxury bottles. It is now part of Orora, after the Australian packaging group acquired Saverglass.

Orora’s 2024 results show the Saverglass acquisition had a major impact on revenue, with group revenue rising strongly after the deal.

Saverglass remains important for France because it serves premium drinks brands and supports the country’s high-value wine and spirits packaging ecosystem.

5. Groupe Guillin

Groupe Guillin is one of France’s main food packaging companies. It reported 2025 sales of €885.96 million, compared with €870.74 million a year earlier.

The company supplies packaging for fresh food, ready meals, catering, fruit and vegetable, bakery and foodservice markets.

Its position is very relevant to supermarkets because food packaging must balance shelf life, recyclability, cost and presentation.

6. Autajon Group

Autajon Group is a France-headquartered packaging business focused on folding cartons, labels, sleeves and luxury packaging.

The group is private, so full financial disclosure is limited. Public business references describe Autajon as having turnover above €700 million, with more than 4,000 contributors across Europe and the US.

Autajon is important in beauty, healthcare, food, wine and spirits packaging, especially where printed packaging and brand presentation are central.

7. Groupe Pochet

Groupe Pochet is a historic French luxury packaging group serving fragrance, skincare and beauty brands.

Its 2024–2025 CSR report gives 2024 revenue of €487 million, while a 2025 business profile described the group as around €500 million in turnover.

Pochet is especially strong in glass, plastic, metal and decoration for premium beauty packaging. For France, that makes it closely tied to the luxury cosmetics and fragrance supply chain.

8. SGD Pharma

SGD Pharma is a France-headquartered specialist in primary pharmaceutical glass packaging.

The company is private, so full revenue is not easily disclosed. But it is widely positioned as a leading global manufacturer of glass packaging for pharmaceuticals, with headquarters in France.

Its relevance is rising as pharma packaging demand grows, especially for vials, injectable drugs, biologics and diagnostic products.

9. Gascogne

Gascogne is a French group active across wood, paper and packaging. It reported 2024 sales of €391.2 million, down 4.9% from the previous year.

The group is active in kraft paper, bags, flexible packaging and industrial packaging.

Gascogne is smaller than the leaders, but it remains strategically relevant because paper-based packaging is gaining importance as retailers and brands reduce plastic use.

10. LGR Packaging

LGR Packaging is a French carton packaging specialist serving food, beverage, healthcare and consumer goods customers.

The company is private, and public revenue disclosure is limited. It earns a place in the ranking because of its strong French base and role in carton packaging for regulated and branded consumer markets.

For grocery and FMCG buyers, LGR fits the wider move toward recyclable board, lighter packs and clearer shelf presentation.

Why France packaging matters in 2026

France packaging is being reshaped by three forces: regulation, retail demand and brand differentiation.

The first is regulation. France’s AGEC law and the EU PPWR are pushing companies toward recyclability, reuse, lower virgin plastic use and clearer environmental reporting.

The second is food and grocery pressure. Supermarkets need packaging that protects products, cuts waste and keeps prices under control.

The third is premiumisation. France remains strong in wine, spirits, beauty and luxury goods, where packaging is not only protection. It is part of the product value.

What happens next?

The next phase for France packaging will be shaped by recyclable materials, lighter formats, paper-based alternatives, premium glass, refill systems and stronger data around packaging impact.

For grocery retailers and FMCG buyers, the companies in this ranking show where supply strength sits. France has major players in glass, food trays, beauty packaging, pharma glass, cartonboard and paper-based formats.

That makes the country important not only for domestic retail, but also for wider European packaging strategy.

Conclusion

France’s packaging sector is moving into a more regulated, cost-sensitive and sustainability-driven phase. The companies in this ranking show where scale and capability sit across glass, food trays, cartons, paper and beauty formats. For buyers, the shift is clear. Packaging decisions are now tied closely to sourcing strategy, shelf pricing and compliance. That is why France packaging is becoming more central to France FMCG performance, especially as retailers expand France private label ranges and push for more recyclable, cost-efficient formats. The next step will be speed — faster redesign cycles, lighter materials and clearer alignment between suppliers and supermarket requirements.
