Amcor Flexibles, Maverick partner for polylaminate, PVC, sparkling foils

LEADING packaging suppliers Amcor Flexibles Capsules and Maverick Enterprises have entered into a manufacturing and sales partnership to supply polylaminate, PVC, and sparkling foils for the North American wine and spirits market.

The collaboration aims to boost the position of both companies in North America. Known for quality and speed of service, Amcor and Maverick have been producing locally in close proximity to the wine industry for more than 20 years.

The companies will consolidate their manufacturing assets to produce polylaminate and PVC capsules at Maverick’s facility in Ukiah, California. The products will target the wine, sparkling, and spirits markets.

Amcor Flexibles Capsules will continue to sell capsules under the Amcor Brand, which will be produced in partnership with Maverick Enterprises. 

According to Amcor Flexibles American Canyon general manager Frederic Catteau, “Our local sales team in American Canyon will be able to offer a much deeper range of products meeting all our customer needs, thanks to the enhanced portfolio that this partnership with Maverick Enterprises brings. Our plant in American Canyon will remain strong in Stelvin®+ closure production to support the growing market of screwcaps.”

Maverick Enterprises president Steve Otterbeck said their company has been collaborating successfully with the Amcor team for more than 10 years on the raw material side.

“It’s natural that we now take this partnership to the next level. Between our two teams, we will have an improved presence in North America and be able to offer enhanced service thanks to our increased capacity and ability to react to all customer needs,” Mr Otterbeck added.
