Amcor announces today that it has entered into an agreement to sell the flexibles packaging plants located at Lund in Sweden and Somerset in the United Kingdom to a Swedish private equity group, Accent Equity 2008.

The plants are primarily involved in the production of unprinted films for the meat and fish segments and have combined sales of approximately €85 million.

These divestments are part of the previously announced program of rationalisation and restructuring of the overall flexibles operations in Western Europe.
