Vidrala stock (ISIN ES0183746314) was trading at EUR 87.75 at Lang & Schwarz on October 8, 2026, 5.44 percent below its EUR 92.80 52-week high. On September 29, 2026, Vidrala completed its EUR 75.00 million acquisition of Chilean glassmaker Cristalerias Toro, according to Packaging News Daily.

Three expansion steps in 2026

On September 18, 2026, Encirc, Vidrala's glass container unit, appointed Jonathan Culley as commercial director and produced about 3.00 billion containers annually, Packaging News Daily reported.

On September 26, 2026, Vidrala combined its Portuguese plants under the Vidrala Marinha brand, with annual production capacity of 2.60 billion glass containers. The September 29 acquisition added Vidrala's first production base in South America for EUR 75.00 million, according to Packaging News Daily.

What does the acquisition change?

Cristalerias Toro generated USD 79.92 million in sales and adjusted EBITDA of USD 13.22 million in the prior year, according to Packaging News Daily. Vidrala's first-half 2026 revenue reached EUR 754.00 million, down 3.80 percent organically, while EBITDA rose 4.40 percent to EUR 225.50 million and the margin reached 29.90 percent, according to the same company coverage.

The comparison matters for investors because Vidrala is adding geographic reach while its existing business is already converting lower organic revenue into higher EBITDA. The first-half figures also included a EUR 252.00 million net debt position and a 0.60 times net debt-to-EBITDA ratio, according to Packaging News Daily.

Next date is October 29

Vidrala's next scheduled reporting date is October 29, 2026, when third-quarter results are due, according to Bolsamania. That date gives the market a specific checkpoint for the Chile integration and for the pressure on glass volumes described in recent coverage.
