More companies around the globe are canning beverages, leading to a shortage of aluminum cans. Now, small businesses are adapting to survive.
DENVER, Colo. —
This whole situation has led to a shortage. According to Market Insider, average prices for aluminum soared more than 62% last year.“There’s really only so many levers you can pull,” said Jerry Siote, one of the co-owners of Lone Tree Brewing Company. “We have been a client of a third-party can purchaser from Ball since we started canning. Our third-party purchaser would aggregate lots of other small breweries, so they were one large client for Ball.
“We are very fortunate we have some room to store our cans in large amounts,” Siote said. “We also had to source outside storage many miles away from here that we have to pay rent and what that does is give us a peace of mind, where we can unload large cans and we aren’t at risk of running out when we need more.”
