Amcor acquires Alusa

摘要

Amcor paid $435 million for Alusa, which brought it four plants and a broad range of capabilities, including film extrusion, flexographic and gravure printing, and lamination. Alusa is the largest flexible-packaging manufacturer and supplier in Chile and Peru, and a leading participant in Colombia and Argentina, with one plant in each of these four countries. Alusa has strong, long-standing relationships with large multinational and regional customers, and generates sales of approximately $375 million a year from the supply of flexible packaging for food, personal care and pet food applications. Given the unique and scalable position this provides in the South American region, further growth opportunities underpinned by a strong customer value proposition provide a pathway for returns to reach 20% by the end of year five.
