About
Almost everything you buy at a supermarket touches Amcor: the flexible film around your cheese, the blister pack on your medicine, the pouch holding your coffee, the carton for your detergent. The Swiss-headquartered company is the world's largest packaging maker — and one of the least visible, because its products are the quiet containers that other brands fill. The company's two core businesses are flexibles (plastic films and pouches for food, beverage, and healthcare) and rigid packaging (PET bottles, closures, and cartons). Its healthcare packaging — sterile barrier systems for medical devices and pharmaceutical blister packs — is a specialized segment where quality and regulatory compliance matter more than price, and Amcor is the global leader. The company processes over 100 billion packages a year. Amcor's history reaches back to 1860s Australia, where it began as a paper mill; today it employs about 41,000 people, operates in 40+ countries, and generates annual revenue near US$15 billion. Its modern strategy is sustainability: Amcor has pledged to make all its packaging recyclable or reusable by 2025, and its lightweighting innovations — thinner films, lighter bottles — reduce material use across the consumer goods industry.
