Morningstar | A mammoth in packaging, Amcor is moving towards industry-leading margins with innovative products.
Amcor is a leading global packaging company, with an extensive network of packaging plants across flexible and rigid plastic packaging. The AUD 2 billion acquisition of certain Alcan packaging businesses in 2010 was well timed and significantly increased scale and diversification. The demerger in December 2013 of its Australasian paper and packaging and U.S. distribution businesses allows the company to focus on the higher-return flexibles and rigid plastics segments, as well as increasing exposure to higher-growth emerging geographic markets. The end markets supplied, such as healthcare, food, beverages, and tobacco, are defensive in nature, which lessens exposure to changes in global consumer and business activity.Amcor is a packaging company. Co. has the following reportable segments: Amcor Rigid Plastics, which manufactures rigid plastic containers for a range of primarily beverage and food products; Amcor Flexibles, which represents the aggregation of four operating segments of which each manufactures flexible and film packaging for their respective industries; as well as Other/Investments, which holds Co.'s equity accounted investments in the associate AMVIG Holdings Limited (AMVIG) and the joint venture Discma AG (Discma).
