Berry Global

What Berry Global does

Berry Global Group, Inc., founded in 1967 and headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, manufactured and marketed plastic packaging products for consumer-oriented end markets including food service, healthcare, beverage, and personal care. Its core product portfolio included polypropylene drink cup lids engineered for leak resistance, recyclability, and compatibility with high-volume automated filling lines in standard 76mm–98mm diameters, sold into quick-service restaurants, coffee chains, convenience stores, and national/regional restaurant chains. Through the April 2024 acquisition of F&S Tool, Berry Global added proprietary precision injection molding tool technology centered in Erie, Pennsylvania, extending its manufacturing capability upstream into tooling. The company operated a sales-led B2B go-to-market, distributing directly to enterprise and mid-market customers across North America and other regions.

On April 30, 2025, Amcor plc completed its all-stock acquisition of Berry Global, taking the company private (NYSE: BERY delisted) and integrating it as a wholly-owned subsidiary. The combined entity reports US$23 billion in annualized sales, 75,000+ colleagues, and 400+ locations across 40+ countries, positioning it as the world's largest plastic packaging company. Synergies of $270 million have been targeted alongside $2.5 billion in potential proceeds from portfolio optimization. Leadership is consolidated under Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny, with a CFO transition from Michael Casamento to Steve Scherger. The combined Amcor/Berry platform now spans flexible packaging, rigid containers, specialty cartons, healthcare cleanroom packaging, and turnkey equipment solutions, with active product launches in recycle-ready formats (PP Revolution dip cups, Apex jars, next-generation flip top closures) targeting sustainability regulation tailwinds.
