Summer sales plans of beverage and AC makers run into rough weather

Wait 5 sec.

Unexpected rains and inflation from the West Asia war are impacting summer sales for beverage and appliance companies. Manufacturers face rising costs for packaging materials like PET resin and polyolefins. Some are cutting promotions and absorbing losses. Companies are also paying premiums for glass and cans to avoid shortages. This comes after a poor sales season last year.
