Magnera Corp. was officially formed and began trading under the MAGN ticker on November 5, 2024. In November 2025, Magnera reported strong Q4 and fiscal year 2025 results, leading to a stock price increase. However, the stock has experienced a decline over the past year.

The nonwovens industry generally experiences demand growth that aligns with GDP. In Q4 2025, demand for adult incontinence products and infection prevention wipes sales increased. The consumer solutions portfolio also saw an increase in revenue driven by demand for wipes and infrastructure products. Conversely, the company has faced organic volume declines in Europe and South America. Weather-related events in North America have also been cited as temporary disruptions.

Magnera Corporation is a global leader in the specialty materials and nonwovens industry, formed in November 2024 through the merger of Berry Global's Health, Hygiene & Specialties nonwovens division with Glatfelter Corporation.
