Berry Global Group has started a formal process to evaluate strategic options for its Health, Hygiene, and Specialties (HH&S) segment.
HH&S offers nonwovens, speciality films, and tapes for several end markets, such as healthcare, hygiene, consumer, building and construction, and industrials.
The company is exploring various options to enhance shareholder value, including selling, forming strategic partnerships or joint ventures, distributing assets to shareholders, or executing other separation transactions for HH&S businesses.
It expects the current leadership team members of HH&S to remain in charge of the business in any outcome.
The company has not set a particular deadline or timeline for finishing the strategic alternatives process.
Berry will only provide updates on the review of strategic alternatives if the board approves a specific transaction or deems additional disclosure necessary.
