About us
Overview
Amcor is one of the world’s top 3 global packaging companies, based on market capitalisation, sales and profits.
Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, Amcor has 217 manufacturing sites in 34 countries, and derives about 80% of its earnings from outside Australasia.
Amcor has approximately 24,000 employees, 135,000 shareholders and in excess of AU $11.0 billion in annual sales.
The company has substantial packaging businesses in five geographic areas – Australasia, North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia.
In Australasia, Amcor offers a wide range of packaging and packaging-related services, including:
corrugated boxes
cartons
aluminium and steel cans
flexible plastic packaging
PET plastic bottles and jars
closures
multi-wall sacks
Internationally, the company is focused on four key market segments:
PET plastic bottles and jars
closures and specialty packaging
flexible plastic packaging
specialty printed cartons
In April 2000, Amcor demerged its printing papers business, enabling the company to focus on growing its global packaging operations.
Amcor’s 45% interest in Kimberly-Clark Australia, a market leader in tissue and personal care products was divested in June 2002.
In July 2002 Amcor acquired the PET and Closures businesses of Schmalbach-Lubeca, a global leader in its markets, headquartered in Ratingen, Germany. This acquisition, at a cost of around $2,875 million makes Amcor the largest PET manufacturer globally and a market leader in its chosen sectors.
