Packaging Strategies wants to credit our sister publication Beverage Industry for much of the information for our Top 25 Beverage Packagers chart. We have confirmed and added key information, particularly the Chief Packaging Officers as well as Brands. Another notable difference is that we take a global view; BI’s list is based on worldwide sales for U.S. companies and foreign-held companies that have significant sales in the U.S. Packaging Strategies research includes annual company reports, 10-K filings, perusing company websites and, last but not least, making direct company contact.
Sales are based on calendar year 2014 or the most recent fiscal year that conforms to that timeframe. We attempt to separate out these company’s beverage earnings and data from other sources such as foods and other categories when possible. We used XE (www.xe.com), the online currency converter, where necessary.
