Dennis Kittel

Senior Sustainability Advisor, Amcor Rigid Packaging

Dennis joined Amcor in 1991 in Research and Development and has over 36 years’ of total experience in plastic packaging for Food applications.  Over his career Dennis has served as a Director of Cellular Manufacturing, and R&D Technical Director for Food packaging in both Flexible and Rigid formats.  Over the past few years Dennis held the position of Global Sustainability Manager for Amcor’s Rigid Packaging business group and currently is a Senior Advisor to the sustainability efforts of Amcor, closely working with customers, commercial, marketing, and technical functions to define and implement more sustainable packaging.   Food packaging peaks my interest in as it is a challenge to be recyclable with multi-layer structures.

Before joining Amcor, Dennis worked with the Oscar Mayer division of Kraft Foods.

He holds a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and M.S. in Manufacturing Systems Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
