Net sales in Berry Global’s Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment decreased 4% to $2.54 billion in the 2024 fiscal year (ended September 28, 2024). The segment produced adhesives, sealants, and tapes (among many additional products) for applications in aerospace, automotive, construction, medical, and others. (The company does not provide specific adhesives/sealants-related sales and other information.)

On April 30, 2025, Berry Global and Amcor plc completed the combination of the two companies. Enhancing the position of Amcor as a global leader in consumer and healthcare packaging solutions, Berry Global will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amcor.

Amcor CEO Peter Konieczny commented on the merger, "As a clear leader in consumer and healthcare packaging with a broad global footprint, Amcor is now better positioned to meet customer and consumer needs as markets continue to evolve. We are thrilled to welcome our new employees, customers and shareholders. This is day one of an exciting and incredibly strong future for Amcor and all our stakeholders."

NOTES: In February 2024, the company announced plans for a spin-off and merger of its Health, Hygiene and Specialties Nonwovens and Films business with Glatfelter Corp. The spin-off occurred on November 4, 2024, resulting in the creation of Magnera Corp., reportedly the largest nonwovens company in the world, with a broad platform of solutions for the specialty materials industry. Magnera began trading on the NYSE on November 5, 2024.

In November 2024, Berry Global announced an agreement to sell its Specialty Tapes business to the private equity firm Nautic Partners LLC for a purchase price of approximately $540 million. In February 2025, Nautic announced it had officially completed the acquisition and unveiled a newly branded company, Vybond™.
