GLOBAL ORIGINS MAPPED OUT FUTURE FOR AMCOR
DID YOU KNOW ...
Amcor ’ s 160-year history touches almost every corner of the world as the founder Samuel Ramsden , a stone mason from Yorkshire , travelled to Australia in the 1860s to make his fortune by opening a paper mill in Melbourne .
Around the same time , in St Louis , Missouri , Judson Moss Bemis founded bag manufacturing J M Bemis & Company , which by the end of the 19th century was among the largest enterprises of its kind in the world .
Amcor was historically known as APM , or Australian Paper Manufacturers , for more than a century , and in 2019 it acquired the Bemis & Company .
These two complementary companies have gone on to create the global leader in consumer packaging , with the footprint , scale and capabilities to drive significant value for shareholders and deliver the most sustainable innovations for the environment .
