About Visy

We are powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, remanufacturing, recycling and logistics.

Over 75 years, we've grown to 7,000 employees and 150 global operations - predominately in Australia and New Zealand - but remain an Australian, family owned company.

Since the beginning we’ve transformed recycling into new products. Today, we're remanufacturing recycling into new packaging which is recyclable and made from up to 100% recycled content.

Beyond packaging, we're making our customers' iconic brands a success through integrated solutions for packaging supplies, point of sale displays, logistics and recycling.
