We are excited to share that the combination of Amcor and Berry Global is complete. As of 4/30, we are one company, operating as Amcor.
Our combination brings a greater footprint in over 140 countries through approximately 400 sites, significantly expanding what we can offer across product, technology and services. We’re bringing global capabilities and scale to local customers, and local reach to global customers. Our position across key formats such as flexibles, fiber-based solutions, containers and dispensing closures is now even stronger, supported by complementary capabilities in innovation, specialized tooling, design and multi-component assembly. With this expanded reach and capability, we’re committed to helping customers grow faster and operate more efficiently and sustainably.
We have a shared ambition to build a more sustainable future, and through a combination of material science, technologies and industry partnership, we are committed to accelerating the possible. In addition to pushing what is scientifically possible today, we are focused on what is needed next and applying our expanded capabilities to partner with customers to elevate, shape lives, and protect the future.
We are committed to being your innovation partner of choice by expanding choices for our consumers. To support this, we are investing in critical areas and leveraging our combined expertise, including ~1,500 R&D professionals, 10 innovation centers and over 7,000 patents, registered designs and trademarks. Together, we will help deliver breakthrough solutions across a range of materials and formats to solve the toughest technical challenges without compromising functionality. This includes offering a wider range of more sustainable solutions that drive circularity, increase use of alternative materials and lower carbon footprint.
In short, together, we will be able to develop solutions that neither company could on its own, and we are excited about the opportunities to help our customers achieve their growth objectives.
Delivering value to our customers remains our top priority. As we work to integrate over the coming months, we are committed to maintaining the reliability and responsiveness expected from us. Customers can continue to count on the same trusted products and services — ensuring business continuity while also unlocking new opportunities through stronger innovation capabilities, global scale and supply chain flexibility.
We are excited about the journey ahead and look forward to growing and achieving success together.
