 PROFILE
Good grief! Greif (rhymes with "life") Bros. make a lot of shipping containers. Greif produces containers and containerboard, mainly for bulk shippers in the chemical, food, petroleum, and pharmaceutical industries. Its industrial shipping products include shipping drums and pallets; its containerboard segment makes containerboard, corrugated sheets and containers, and multiwall packaging. Greif has expanded its operations beyond its strength in North America with the acquisition of Finnish firm Huhtamäki's industrial packaging division. The 2001 deal nearly doubled Greif's size; the company now operates about 200 locations in 40 countries. The family of former chairman Jack Dempsey controls Greif.
