About Amcor plc
About Amcor plc
Amcor plc operates roughly 400 manufacturing and support facilities in 33 countries through two segments: Global Flexible Packaging Solutions, with 36,000 employees and 55% of fiscal 2026 consolidated net sales, and Global Rigid Packaging Solutions, with 38,000 employees and 45%. In fiscal 2026, 81% of sales revenue came from developed markets and 19% from emerging markets. The company completed its merger with Berry Global Group on April 30, 2025, and spent approximately $170 million on research and development.
Amcor sells polymer resin, aluminum and fiber based flexible packaging, plus rigid containers, closures, dispensing and pharma delivery devices, predominantly through its direct sales force to customers in Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia Pacific. Materials span paper, aluminum, polymer resins, recycled and bio-based inputs, so resin and aluminum costs feed directly into the cost base. Innovation relies on approximately 1,500 R&D professionals and engineers and over 7,000 patents, registered designs and trademarks. In the Berry merger, Berry shareholders received 7.25 Amcor ordinary shares per Berry share. On May 1, 2026, the Board changed the fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31, with a six-month transition report on Form 10-K/T planned for the period ending December 31, 2026. The company targets net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and its science-based targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative in fiscal 2026.

Customer relationships carry the main falsifiable risk. The 10-K states that no single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales, yet customer concentration can be more pronounced within certain businesses, so the loss of key customers or a significant reduction in their production requirements could reduce sales revenue and net profit. In August 2026, the company disclosed via Form 8-K that PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Switzerland resigned as auditor and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, United States was appointed beginning with the transition fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, effective August 14, 2026.
