Amcor and Berry Global Group have received US antitrust clearance for the merger of their businesses, set to close in mid-2025. The waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 has expired in connection with the combination of the two companies. Expiration of the waiting period satisfies a closing condition necessary for completing the merger.
The companies also confirm that a number of additional approvals have been received from regulatory authorities in recent weeks, including antitrust clearances from China and Brazil. Progress toward obtaining remaining regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions is well advanced. The companies continue to expect transaction close in the middle of calendar year 2025.
The joint company will aim to provide a broad range of flexible and converted films, scaled containers and closures, and global healthcare solutions.
