INDIANAPOLIS, July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ardagh Glass
Packaging-North America (AGP-North America), an operating business
of Ardagh Group, introduced a new series of craft beverage bottles
to its growing portfolio of American-made bottles.
The 12oz glass craft beverage bottles are available for purchase
directly from AGP-North America in three different colors,
including emerald green, flint (clear) and amber (brown)
glass. The bottles are designed and manufactured in the U.S., by
AGP-North America in high-quality glass that is 100% recyclable and
can be recycled endlessly without any loss in purity or
quality.
"We've been packaging Excel Bottling Brands in Ardagh's
amber and flint 12oz craft beverage bottles, and we recently
transitioned to Ardagh's emerald green bottles," said Mitch Reed, Executive Vice President at Excel
Bottling Company. "Now, we can change flavors and glass bottles
throughout the day without making any revisions to the filling and
packaging equipment, making it much easier on our operations while
offering several different beverage varieties for consumers."
Consumers are more committed to sustainability and are more
health-conscious, preferring products and packaging that complement
this lifestyle. About three in four consumers wish more companies
offered their food and beverage products in glass packaging
(CARAVAN Omnibus Survey 2022).
"Ardagh Glass Packaging continues to focus on developing its
portfolio of American-made glass bottles to offer craft beverage
producers increased flexibility for packaging their products," said
Rashmi Markan, Vice President, Beer
& Beverage for AGP-North America. "The new, 12oz craft beverage
series of bottles complement a wide variety of craft beverages,
offering brand differentiation with a trusted, sustainable glass
bottle that fully protects the flavor of the beverage."
For more than 125 years, Ardagh has been producing innovative
glass bottles and jars in the U.S. and offers a wide selection of
glass packaging in a variety of colors, sizes, styles and
finishes.
