Elopak’s second quarter (Q2): Progress and resilience: staying the course in a challenging environment
Elopak ASA ("Elopak", Oslo Børs Ticker: ELO) reports improved financial performance from the softer start to the year, despite continued geopolitical uncertainty, raw material cost inflation, and changing consumer behavior.

- Americas delivered 8.7% revenue growth in constant currency and an EBITDA margin of 22.9%, supported by organic growth and the continued onboarding of new customer contracts
