Canmakers Warn of Tight Capacity

Major packaging firms are facing pressure as the beverage industry prepares for a busy summer of global celebrations.

Leading can manufacturers including Ball, Crown, and Ardagh are reporting tight capacity as beverage brands ramp up production. The surge in demand is driven by upcoming promotions tied to the World Cup and America250 celebrations.

According to Food Dive, these companies are currently navigating a challenging landscape marked by inflationary pressures and rising input costs. The industry is working to balance these financial hurdles with the need to meet high seasonal demand.
