Interpack says the transition means “expanded capabilities, innovative embellishment options, and seamless supply-chain integration”.

Interpack’s partnership with Amcor France continues, which sees it hold the exclusive Australian licence for manufacturing the Stelvin and Lux suite of closures at its facility in Victoria.

Owned by the Arduca family since its inception, Interpack has a long history in the manufacture of aluminium closures, and was among the first to be involved in the commercial production of screw caps in Australia.

According to Interpack, the screw cap is the “closure of choice” for the Australian and New Zealand wine industries, and has become the most popular means of sealing wine bottles.

Orora said, “We wish Interpack every success as they continue to champion the screw cap as the closure of choice for the Australian and New Zealand wine industries.”
