Amcor had previously acquired Bemis Company (2019, $6.8B).

Major European and North American metal and glass packaging manufacturer (NYSE: ARD); restructured parent of Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP, NYSE: AMBP).

AMP's 2021 NYSE IPO raised ~$2.8B via SPAC. Ardagh Group also owns Ardagh Glass Packaging (bottles/jars). AMP primarily serves the beverage segment but its scale in aluminum can sheet procurement affects food can sheet availability. During 2020-2021, Ardagh Metal Packaging was building greenfield US capacity to serve beverage customers but competing for the same upstream aluminum sheet supply as pet food canners.
