Berry Plastics began in Evansville in 1967 as a regional molder, growing through decades of acquisition into a global packaging platform.
The Apollo-led buyout took it private before the 2012 NYSE listing as BERY, and the 2016 Avintiv and 2019 RPC Group acquisitions made it a global plastics leader.
The April 30, 2025 merger with Amcor created the industry's largest packaging company and folded the Berry operations into the combined entity.

Amcor plc is a global packaging company domiciled in Jersey with executive offices in Bristol, UK and Zurich, Switzerland.
