Amcor’s Flexibles Europe and Americas business will be divided into two new groups - Flexibles Americas and Flexibles Europe, Middle East and Africa. This geographic-based structure will enable each of the Flexibles business groups to focus on the strategic priorities within their respective regions and to accelerate profitable growth.
Along with stronger global collaboration, including with the Flexibles Asia Pacific business, these organization changes provide opportunities to further improve Amcor’s global product offering and create value for customers.
The Flexibles Americas business will focus on accelerating Amcor’s growth in the North American market and pursuing opportunities in Latin America, regions where Amcor’s market share is less than 5%.
The Flexibles Europe, Middle East and Africa business will continue to focus on growth driven by innovation, cost and efficiency improvements as well as opportunities in emerging markets.
Peter Konieczny, currently president Amcor Tobacco Packaging, has been appointed president Flexibles Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Jerzy Czubak, currently COO Tobacco Packaging, has been appointed president Amcor Tobacco Packaging. Tom Cochran, currently VP Flexibles with responsibility for the medical, extrusion and Americas-based businesses, has been appointed president Flexibles Americas. Peter Brues, currently president Flexibles Europe and Americas, has elected to leave Amcor. These changes will become effective on July 1, 2015.
“The new geographic-based structure will allow our Flexibles business groups to focus on the strategic priorities in each region and to accelerate profitable growth,” said Ron Delia, Amcor’s managing director and CEO. “At the same time, we will ensure stronger collaboration across regions, building on our position as the global leader in flexible packaging to deliver greater value for all stakeholders.”
