Until completion of the sale, which is currently expected to occur in the second half of its 2023 fiscal year, Amcor remain committed to supporting its employees and customers, while preserving value for shareholders through an orderly sale process.

The guidance Amcor provided for FY23 in its recent year-end results takes into account a number of potential outcomes regarding the sale of Amcor’s factories in Russia.

Amcor is an American-Australian company developing and producing responsible packaging solutions for food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical, home and personal-care, and other products. The company is focused on making packaging that is increasingly lighter weight, recyclable and reusable, and made using an increasing amount of recycled content.

In fiscal year 2022,44,000 Amcor generated $15 billion in annual sales from operations that span 220 locations in 43 countries.
