Australian packaging giant Amcor (Melbourne, www.amcor.com) has closed its European headquarters at Ratingen, Germany, and redistributed functions between Hanover and Belgium. In future, the company will not have a central headquarters in Europe. Amcor said the redistribution of responsibility will facilitate day-to-day decision-making and communication among the business units. The administrative headquarters for Amcor PET Packaging Europe/Asia (B-1935 Zaventem) is now at Zaventem, Belgium, close to the international airport at Brussels and the company´s R&D centre at Brecht. Amcor White Cap Europe/ Asia (D-30419 Hannover), the European arm of Amcor Closures, is now doing business in the northern German city. Headquarters of Amcor Flexibles Europe (GB-Gloucester GL4 3RT) will remain in the UK.
