Amcor plc
Amcor plc (Zurich Switzerland / Melbourne Australia; NYSE: AMCR; ~$14B revenue; formed 2019 by merger of Amcor Ltd and Bemis Company, Inc.) is the world's largest packaging company by revenue. Amcor's Flexible Packaging division (Americas, EMEA, Asia Pacific) produces PE food films including: stand-up pouches, flexible lidding, form-fill-seal films, laminated pouches, and high-barrier flexible packaging for meat, cheese, coffee, snacks, and produce. The 2019 acquisition of Bemis Company (Neenah WI; ~$6.8B deal) doubled Amcor's Americas flexible packaging presence and made Amcor the clear global #1 in flexible packaging by revenue. Bemis had ~$4B revenue and was one of the largest PE film converters in North America, supplying food-grade PE film to major US food brands. Amcor supplies Kraft Heinz, Unilever, Nestle, and P&G globally with PE food films.

Did you know2024
Amcor is tracked as a food packaging company (the world's largest flexible packaging manufacturer), but ~20% of its revenue comes from pharmaceutical packaging — including blister pack films for pills (where Amcor is a leading global supplier), sterile pouches for medical devices, and hospital supply packaging. The same Amcor film extrusion and coating technology that makes a coffee pod's hermetic freshness seal also makes the pharmaceutical blister film containing a daily aspirin. The food supply chain packaging and the drug supply chain packaging share the same Amcor production equipment, material science expertise, and global distribution — a combined dependence that a major Amcor manufacturing disruption would reveal simultaneously across food retail and pharmacy supply chains.

Amcor's Australian business traces to the Australian Paper Manufacturers company founded in Melbourne in 1860, which produced paper bags and cardboard packaging for Australia's colonial commodity economy. The company transitioned through the 20th century from paper to plastic flexible films, becoming Amcor Ltd and expanding internationally. The transformative step was the 2019 merger with Bemis Company Inc. (a US flexible packaging specialist founded in 1858) for $5.25 billion, creating the world's largest packaging company by combining the leading Australian and American flexible packaging businesses.
