Our Story
From a small glass workshop in Kremsmünster, Austria, to a global leader in medical packaging, Greiner has evolved through innovation, quality, and commitment to healthcare advancement.
Founded by Leopold Greiner in 1868 as a glass manufacturer, our company pioneered sterile packaging for medical applications in the early 20th century. The launch of VACUETTE blood collection tubes in 1962 revolutionized clinical diagnostics, establishing Greiner Bio-One as the preferred supplier for hospitals and laboratories worldwide.
Today, Greiner Packaging operates 32 manufacturing facilities across 5 continents, employing over 11,000 people dedicated to producing life-saving medical devices and laboratory consumables. Our Monroe, NC facility, established in 1998, serves as the North American headquarters and innovation hub.
We remain family-owned, allowing us to invest in long-term R&D programs and maintain unwavering commitment to quality over quarterly profits. This independence enables us to partner closely with customers, developing customized packaging solutions that meet evolving healthcare needs.
