Visy, the global leader in packaging and resource recovery achieved record growth in August, as consumers switching from plastic packaging to aluminium among others.

Visy said: “Sales in August were up by a third on the same month in the previous year, and by 28% over the July figure.”
The company says it was the highest month-on-month growth since the death of founder Richard Pratt in 2009. Since then the company has been run by his son, Anthony Pratt.

Pratt said: “Lockdown meant consumers were not drinking beer out of plastic cups at events – but were drinking it out of glass and aluminium at home and having it delivered in cardboard packaging – and that all contributed to the record rise in revenue.”
Visy is in business for 70 years, with over 5000 employees and is operating in more than 120 sites throughout Australasia and have trading offices across Asia and Europe.
