Each card carries a disclosed-size chip (HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW — how large the exposure is as a share of revenue, not how dangerous it is) and a nature tag: Built-in(the company’s own model, geography, or products) or Outside party (an external customer, supplier, or distributor it relies on).
“10-K Item 1A: 'we purchased approximately 60% and 27% of our raw paper requirements in North America and globally, respectively, from a single supplier, Smurfit WestRock Company'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'our suppliers, including those in China that supply a majority of the components and systems provided to our end-users, will experience operational delays'”
Ranpak's concentration risk sits entirely on the supply side. The company purchased approximately 60% of its raw paper requirements in North America and 27% globally from a single supplier, Smurfit WestRock Company — a medium-share dependency by the global measure, though notably higher in the North American segment specifically. Separately, the company's suppliers, including China-based suppliers that provide a majority of the components and systems used by its Automation systems, face risk of operational delays, another medium-share dependency exposure. Both concentrations are dependency-type rather than structural, meaning they hinge on the continued reliability of specific named counterparties and geographies rather than being an inherent feature of Ranpak's business model. The raw paper relationship with Smurfit WestRock and the China-based Automation component supply chain represent two separate points of vulnerability — one in the core paper-based packaging materials business, the other in the newer Automation systems line. Together they suggest supply chain reliability, rather than customer or geographic revenue concentration, is the primary lens through which to assess Ranpak's disclosed risk.
