Amcor

Amcor plc is a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, operating as one of the world's largest packaging companies with roots dating back to the 1860s in Australia. Originally founded through the consolidation of paper milling businesses around Melbourne, the company evolved from Australian Paper Manufacturers (renamed Amcor Limited in 1986) into a Jersey-domiciled, Swiss-based multinational corporation serving customers in over 36 countries. With approximately 77,000 employees operating from 210 locations globally, Amcor generated $15 billion in sales for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, providing essential packaging for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical device, home and personal care products that touch billions of lives daily. The company's transformation from a regional paper manufacturer to a global packaging powerhouse demonstrates its ability to adapt, innovate, and lead the industry through strategic acquisitions, technological advancement, and unwavering commitment to sustainability.

Amcor operates through two primary business segments: Flexibles Packaging and Rigid Plastics, offering comprehensive solutions that protect and preserve products throughout the supply chain. The Flexibles segment develops and supplies flexible packaging and specialty folding cartons for applications spanning fresh produce, dairy, meat, fish, snacks, confectionery, frozen foods, ready meals, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. The Rigid Plastics segment produces plastic bottles, jars, and closures for beverage, food, spirits and wine, home and personal care, and healthcare markets, with Amcor holding the position as the largest manufacturer of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) containers globally following its 2002 acquisition of Schmalbach-Lubeca's businesses for $2.875 billion. The company's diverse product portfolio includes innovative packaging technologies such as stick packs, sachets, blister packaging for pharmaceuticals, and sustainable packaging solutions that advance recyclability and reduce environmental impact across multiple industries and consumer touchpoints.

Under the leadership of CEO Peter Konieczny, who was appointed in September 2024 after serving as Chief Commercial Officer and member of the Global Management Team since 2010, Amcor has positioned itself at the forefront of the packaging industry's sustainability revolution. The company set an aspirational goal to make all its products recyclable or reusable by 2025, achieving 95% recyclability for rigid packaging and over 94% for flexible packaging in fiscal year 2024. Amcor's commitment to sustainability extends beyond product design to encompass safe workplaces (12% reduction in injuries FY2024, with 70%+ of sites maintaining injury-free records for 12+ months), innovation in post-consumer recycled content (9.4% PCR purchases in 2024), and advancement of circular economy principles. The company's historic $8.4 billion all-stock acquisition of Berry Global, completed on April 30, 2025, created a combined entity with approximately 70,000 employees, 400 facilities across 140 countries, and $23 billion in anticipated sales revenue, establishing Amcor as the undisputed global leader in consumer packaging and dispensing solutions for nutrition and health with unique material science capabilities to meet customers' sustainability aspirations. This transformational combination, the largest in Amcor's history, brings $650 million of identified synergies through fiscal 2028 and positions the company to serve growing demand for sustainable packaging solutions while driving innovation, operational excellence, and shareholder value in a rapidly evolving global marketplace.
