Frameworks and Standards

Meeting Global Industry Classification Standard

As the leader in metal and transit packaging technology, our GICS (Global Industry Classification Standard) code, managed by MSCI and S&P Global, is 15103010 - Materials, Containers, and Packaging. Per GICS, "the Materials sector includes companies that manufacture chemicals, construction materials, glass, paper, forest products and related packaging products, and metals, minerals and mining companies, including producers of steel." As this is a wide description of manufacturing activities it's important to elaborate on what manufacturing activities ³Ô¹Ï51±¬ÁÏÍø engages in and those which we do not.
