Verallia reports that its Italian subsidiary, along with other local glass manufacturers, is being investigated by the Italian competition authority for alleged anti-competitive behavior in wine bottles in Italy from 2022.

On November 8, the authority carried out inspections at the companies' headquarters, as well as at the Assovetro trade association. Verallia has provided all the information requested and is cooperating fully with the investigation.

The French group denies any inappropriate behavior and says it is 'confident that it will clarify the legitimacy of its position in relation to this investigation, the opening of which does not imply any finding of wrongdoing'.
