Sealed Air Corporation kicked off a yearlong celebration of the 85th anniversary of its flagship CRYOVAC® brand food packaging, tracing its origins to 1941 when the trademark was filed. Over the decades, Sealed Air has pioneered vacuum-sealing and cryogenic shrink technologies that transformed meat processing, retail and foodservice operations. Today’s portfolio includes shrink bags, vacuum skin packaging, rollstock films and advanced equipment such as rotary vacuum chamber systems and vertical form-fill-seal machines. This milestone underscores the company’s sustained investment in material science, equipment engineering and customer collaboration.

In 2024, Sealed Air generated $5.4 billion in sales, supported by a global workforce of approximately 16,400 employees serving customers in 117 countries and territories. The company’s technical service team, with an average tenure of 11 years on CRYOVAC® equipment, has installed more than 4,000 rotary vacuum chamber systems worldwide. This scale of deployment highlights both recurring service revenues and the strength of long-term customer relationships in the food processing and retail segments.

Under CEO Dustin Semach’s leadership, Sealed Air is focusing on integrating sustainable materials, automation and smart packaging solutions to address evolving customer needs and regulatory pressures. The 85th anniversary program—launched at the International Production & Processing Expo in Atlanta—reinforces brand equity and provides a platform for showcasing next-generation equipment and antimicrobial packaging innovations. For investors, these efforts signal a commitment to revenue diversification, higher-margin equipment sales and aftermarket services, while leveraging the century-plus legacy of CRYOVAC® to drive market share gains in both developed and emerging regions.
