Amcor Offers to Acquire Parts of Alcan Packaging

“Growing our businesses in a sustainable manner was always our stated intention and we are pleased to have entered into this agreement. We are committed to becoming a leader in the global packaging industry,” said MacKenzie.

The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals as well as consultation with European Works Councils. Closing of the acquisition is not expected to occur for several months. Until this time, both Amcor and Alcan Packaging will continue to operate as separately run companies.
