It’s a new year and a new acquisition for global packaging leader Amcor (Melbourne, Australia) as it is set to purchase Deluxe Packages (Yuba City, CA), a privately owned flexible packaging business for US$45 million.

Deluxe operates a manufacturing plant in Northern California, and services customers in the fresh food and snack segments. It generates annual revenue of around $US42 million.

Amcor CEO and Managing Director, Ron Delia said: "North America is an attractive region for flexible packaging and this acquisition represents an excellent opportunity to accelerate profitable growth.
