vetropack & Press release Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art . 53 LR Stabilisation of net sales alongside increased sales volume in the first half of 2026 Bülach , 21 August 2026 - In the first half of 2026 , Vetropack achieved net sales of CHF 404.6 million . This represents a decline of 2.0 percent compared to the first half of 2025. At stable exchange rates , however , it resulted in growth of 0.7 percent . Overall , the production volume sold was above that of the previous year , thanks to the recovery in the beverage packaging business in parts of Central and Eastern Europe . Developments in the Persian Gulf and Near East brought additional geopolitical uncertainty , with rising energy and transport costs . The ongoing challenging market environment with considerable margin pressure demanded continued cost discipline and tight control of investment . The operating result amounted to CHF 11.8 million , or CHF 16.6 million adjusted for costs related to capacity adjustments . The adjusted operating result margin therefore amounted to 4.1 percent , compared to 5.5 percent in the previous year .
