Packaging giant Amcor Limited (AMC) said it may be forced to divest a flexible packaging plant with sales of less than US$100 million as it seeks to have its proposal to purchase parts of Alcan packaging passed by anti-trust legislators in the US and Europe. Amcor said off-loading a plant would have no material impact on the business, with the combined Amcor and Alcan Packaging businesses in Europe ringing up sales of US$4.8 billion across 75 plants last year.
