The new company was called Pratt Industries.
A deliberate strategy of acquisitions and mergers over 15 years has enabled a 15-fold increase in U.S. representation, primarily through the development of the corrugated cardboard division.

Pratt is also a member of the Climate Group, an environmental organization with members from various countries.
Anthony is active in philanthropy, supporting programs to develop sustainable agriculture and water conservation in Australia. At an international conference in 2013, the businessman spoke about the country’s opportunities to increase food production.
