Amcor has announced its acquisition of Sonoco's rigid plastics blowmoulding operations has been completed.
The $280 million acquisition was first announced on 2 September this year following a statement by Amcor that it would expand its rigid plastics division and allow the company to access US customers.
Sonoco Specialty Containers makes moulded packaging for food, drink, and pharmaceuticals, and has six production facilities in the US, and one in Canada.
It generates annual sales of $210 million.
Amcor is anticipating growth in scale and capabilities for specialty container manufacturing.
