		Acting chief executive Lou Lachal said Amcor had worked hard to slow materials cost increases and match them to Amcor's own price rises, but warned there was generally a lag of between two and six months before Amcor could recoup higher costs.

	PM - Amcor appoints Louis Lachal as new Australasia head
		In May a gloomy profit forecast pushed Amcor's share price to a three-and-a-half year low and its future continues to be clouded by an ongoing investigation by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
		Perennial Growth Management's Ken West says demand for Amcor's packaging in Europe is flat, and tough competition in worldwide markets for PET products has pushed prices down, especially in North America.
		But they have taken some action, particularly in North America on PET, where they're trying to rationalise some of the capacity, and also to try and introduce some regional pricing which would in particular take account of the higher cost base and the size of the west coast market, which is predominantly California.
