Methodology:

Our top 25 beverage packagers list uses sources that include annual company reports, news reports, company websites and direct company contacts. Sales are based on calendar year 2015 or the most recent fiscal year that conforms to that timeframe. We used XE, the online currency counter (xe.com), where necessary. We have also used all available resources to separate out beverage revenue from food and other segment revenue. Some companies are marked with an asterisk to indicate an estimate when one of the following occurred: it was impossible to get a breakdown of beverage vs. other segments; it’s a private company and news sources reported the data, not the company directly; or no new information could be found, resulting in us reporting 2014’s revenue.
