The excerpt states only an acquired business's 4,000 employees, not the company's total, so the headcount is recorded as not stated and the metal and plastic split follows segment revenue.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 25% at the end of 2027, 27% at the end of 2028, 28% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 28% desk work, 12% people work and 60% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 72% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 22% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Limits of this reading

- No count by segment: the split between metal and plastic packaging follows segment revenue (c).

Questions about this company
- How much of Silgan Holdings Inc.'s working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 17% now and 27% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Silgan Holdings Inc.'s own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does Silgan Holdings Inc. employ?
- Its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 does not state a headcount the reading could take.
- What kinds of work make up Silgan Holdings Inc.'s workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 2 industry staffing patterns, the largest Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing (3323 and 3324 only); by those patterns the work is about 28% desk work, 12% people work and 60% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Silgan Holdings Inc.'s annual report say about AI?
- 1 sentence in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 0, 0 and 1 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
