Item 1. BUSINESS
Description of Business
Tredegar Corporation is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the manufacture of aluminum extrusions and polyethylene and polypropylene plastic films. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references herein to “Tredegar,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to Tredegar Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company renamed the segment formerly known as “PE Films.” This segment will be referred to as “High Performance Films” going forward. The product previously known as polyethylene overwrap films was renamed to advanced packaging films. There were no changes to the operations reported within the High Performance Films segment. The Company continues to have two reportable segments: Aluminum Extrusions and High Performance Films.
On November 1, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its flexible packaging films business (also referred to as “Terphane”) headquartered in Brazil to Oben Group. All historical results for Terphane have been presented as discontinued operations. For more information on this transaction, see Note 15. “Divestitures” to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 15. “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules” of this Form 10-K (“Item 15”).

Overall open orders in Aluminum Extrusions were approximately $70.4 million, or 17 million pounds, at December 31, 2025 compared to approximately $55.0 million, or 17 million pounds, at December 31, 2024, an increase of $15.4 million, or approximately 28%.
