Ardagh Metal Packaging (AMP) has reported a 14% increase in revenue to $1.03bn at constant current rates for the third quarter ending 30 September 2021.
The sustainable beverage can manufacturer attributed the growth to positive volume/mix and foreign currency translation effects, including the impact of the group’s growth investment programme and higher metal costs that pass through to customers.
