Verallia Acknowledges the Italian Competition Authority’s Decision Confirming Full Compliance With Competition Laws

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

Verallia (Paris:VRLA) announces that the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) has decided to close without further action the investigation launched in 2023 concerning several glass manufacturers, including Verallia Italia, regarding price increases since 2022 in the wine bottle sector. No infringement was found.

This decision confirms that the price increases observed in 2022 reflected an extraordinary cost environment (energy and raw materials) and strong demand, not coordinated behavior among market players.

Verallia remains committed to maintaining independent pricing policies, focused on quality, secure supply, and value creation for its customers.
