Amcor - Restructuring And Rationalising

Amcor executives spent much of the late 1990s restructuring and rationalising the packaging company. In 1999, they began focusing on expanding Amcor in overseas markets. Now they are trying to make it a market leader in premier sectors of the global packaging industry. At the same time, Amcor's MD, Russel Jones, is positioning the company for what he believes is the inevitable consolidation of the packaging industry into fewer, larger participants. His strategy includes acquisions and the development of new products.
