Mondi Group: Capital Markets Day 17 October 2017

Mondi Group is hosting a Capital Markets Day in London today at which it will provide an overview of its business strategy and detail various organic growth opportunities. Presentations will be delivered by CEO Peter Oswald, CFO Andrew King, as well as the CEOs of the Group’s four business units – Paper Packaging, Fibre Packaging, Consumer Packaging and Uncoated Fine Paper.

Since its listing in 2007, Mondi Group has doubled ROCE and tripled underlying EPS. Mondi enters its next decade as a listed entity well-positioned to benefit from general economic trends – such as e- commerce and the ongoing strong growth in central eastern Europe, as well as specific industry trends –such as the growing preference across a wide customer base for lighter, stronger packaging (lightweighting); the substitution of rigid by flexible packaging; and smart, environmentally responsible packaging solutions.

Mondi Group CEO Peter Oswald said, “Mondi’s industry leading margins and returns are a consequence of our inherent competitive advantages. Today we will show our investors how we plan to further develop our culture of driving performance; leverage our cost-advantaged assets; increase our focus on partnering with customers for innovation; inspire our people and grow responsibly. We are positioning ourselves to benefit from various general economic and industry specific trends. I believe this will deliver robust value accretive growth well into the future, both organically and through acquisitions.”

No material new information, forward looking financial information nor update on trading will be provided.  The London presentations and a link to the live webcast of the event are available at www.mondigroup.com/CMD2017.
