Twitter: @anthonyjpratt2 | Instagram: @anthonypratt1Anthony Pratt was born in Melbourne, Victoria to Richard Pratt and Jeanne Pratt AC.He graduated from Monash University, Melbourne, with a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) in 1982 and joined the consulting firm of McKinsey & Co, before joining Visy as Joint General Manager of Visy Board.In 1988, he became Deputy Chairman of Pratt Industries; then, three years later, he moved to the United States to lead the company's expansion there. Over the next 15 years, Pratt Industries grew 15-fold in sales and earnings, through greenfield initiatives and the acquisition of several corrugated manufacturing companies which now form the heart of Pratt Industries. Company revenues grew from US$100 million in 1991; and by 2015 revenue was US$ 2 billion. During that same period, Pratt Industries grew from the 46th largest corrugated box producer in the U.S. to the 5th largest - and it remains the only major paper company that is 100 percent recycled.Pratt now employs more than 5000 workers at its mills and box plants throughout USA – more Americans than any other Australian company. In addition, Pratt's Visy employs over 5000 people in Australia. That number is set to grow in the wake of the recent announcement that Pratt would begin construction of a fourth, 100% percent recycled paper mill near Chicago in 2014.Although Pratt remains Chairman of the American arm of the family’s packaging empire, he returned to Australia to take over as Executive Chairman of Visy following the 2009 death of his father, Richard. Visy's corporate reputation index ranking went from #43 to #3 between 2009 and 2011. On a lighter note Pratt, who sings, has performed with various great songwriters including Burt Bacharach and Paul Anka on stage at Visy's customer trade shows (See video on YouTube 'Anthony Pratt entertains his box customers').References:Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Pratt_(businessman)Prattindustries.comVisy.com.au
