The German aluminium packaging market

The majority of suppliers of aluminium packaging gave EUWID a positive wrap of the 2011 business year. Over the past twelve months some industries at least temporarily witnessed a downright boom. While aerosol cans were very sought after in the first half with producers barely able to meet demand, tube manufacturers at least reported stable business developments. Suppliers of beverage cans were hit the strongest by the bad summer weather, nonetheless deliveries from January to September showed remarkable growth: In Europe gains of 3.9% were registered for this period, +2.2% for beer in beverage cans and even +7.8% soft drinks.
