1860s when Samuel Ramsden arrived in Australia to seek his fortune in a new land. He established
Victoria’s first paper mill on the banks of the Yarra River in Melbourne. For most of its life this
operation was known as Australian Paper Manufacturers. In the 1970s and 1980s the company
added a range of diverse packaging interests to its traditional papermaking activities and in 1986
changed its name to Amcor Ltd. Amcor now serves markets around the globe by pursuing
profitable organic growth, strategic acquisitions and divestments and the provision of packaging
solutions in Australia, Europe, Latin America, Switzerland and the United States of America.
