Greif, Inc. announced today, October 2 2025, that it has completed the previously announced sale of its timberlands business to Molpus Woodlands Group, on behalf of clients, for approximately $462 million after adjustments.
The closing of the transaction is expected to bring Greif’s leverage ratio below 1.2×, strengthening the balance sheet and providing significant interest savings heading into fiscal 2026, according to President and CEO Ole Rosgaard.
The sale, combined with the recently completed divestiture of the containerboard business, underscores Greif’s strategy to pursue the highest return on invested capital across its portfolio, with Perella Weinberg serving as exclusive adviser to Greif during the transaction.
