Silgan Holdings, a US-based provider of rigid packaging solutions for consumer products, has appointed a new chief executive officer, Adam Greenlee, as the company’s chief executive officer, effective 1 September.
Greenlee will also continue as president of the company. According to a company statement, the next CEO joined Silgan in 2005 and led its North American closures operations before being named executive vice president of the company in October 2007.
Greenlee was named chief operating officer in 2009 and president of the company in April 2019. He will replace Tony Allott, who has served as the company’s chief executive officer since March 2006, only its second CEO since its founding in 1987. “Allott will continue to serve as Silgan’s executive chairman.”
In 2020, Silgan acquired aerosol cap manufacturer Cobra Plastics and the Albea dispensing business. The company also launched two new aerosol packaging products at ADF & PCD and PLD Paris last year: the Sinfonia Crème pump for ‘prestige skin care’ and colour cosmetics and Aerohead Plus.
