Market Position and Industry Context
Yunhong Green CTI operates at the intersection of green packaging and flexible-film manufacturing. Its products serve retail chains, promotional-balloon distributors, and food-service providers. The compostable films division competes with conventional polyethylene and paper packaging by offering soil-based degradation. In the foil balloon and printed-film segments, the company utilizes 35 years of technical experience against global competitors in custom packaging. The U.S. flexible-packaging market was valued at over $40 billion in 2024, and Yunhong’s 0.62 price-to-sales ratio indicates potential for revenue growth if market share increases.
