The warm weather fuelled demand for beverage cans, helping Ball’s metal packaging business in Europe and Asia to grow profits by 61% to £22.5m ($45m), on sales up 28% to £192m. Ball was also aided by an increase in volume in China and less pressure on margins. The group’s overall profits rose 84% to £40.5m, while sales increased by almost a quarter to £843m. The figures included a full quarter’s results from acquisitions made in plastics packaging and food and household products packaging last year. Speak Your Mind |
