As we move into the summer shipping season, the overall supply chain remains relatively stable – though a few indicators are beginning to shift. Here’s what we’re seeing across the key areas impacting glass packaging and logistics. Glass supply is holding steady, with no significant disruptions reported across domestic or international sources. Availability has remained neutral for several months now, though specific bottle types and molds still see some intermittent constraints. That said, there is a growing awareness in the industry of potential pressure on furnace capacity later this year. Conversations are underway about potential closures in Q4, which could result in tighter availability in early 2026 if demand remains stable or increases. Diesel prices edged downward in May, offering slight relief for overland freight. The national average fell from $3.567 per gallon in April to $3.499 in May. This small but welcome drop comes at a time when other transportation

Over the past month, the wine industry has been caught in a whirlwind of shifting signals from the new US administration regarding tariffs. The rapid pace of change has left many wondering whether these moves are strategic negotiation tactics or actual policy changes that will directly impact pricing for wine-related goods and materials. The Trump administration initially imposed tariffs on imports from Mexico (25%), Canada (25%), and China (10%) – the White House Fact Sheet is here. While a temporary 30-day pause has been placed on tariffs for Canada and Mexico, concerns about retaliatory measures remain high. Canada, for example, had already announced 25% counter-tariffs on US goods, including alcoholic beverages – a move that could significantly impact California wineries and other US producers exporting to our northern neighbor. But it's not just the challenges with finished goods that we are concerned about; it is how tariffs will affect the packaging components li

Wineries continue to increase their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. From harvesting grapes grown in more sustainably focused ways, to water conservation, and fostering healthier soils, there are many things that can be done in the vineyard to make a positive impact on the local ecosystem and wildlife habitat.  Beyond environmentally conscious agricultural practices, it is important that wineries look to vendors that operate with similar sustainability views. One impactful consideration is which organization you turn to for glass packaging. If you are looking to step up your efforts even further, there is a reason to choose O-I as that partner. Since 2017, the organization’s multi-pronged approach to sustainability has resulted in a nearly 20% reduction in greenhouse (GHG) emissions. Taking a more granular look at O-I, there are other factors that make the organization a leader in the sustainable packaging space. Here are some points to consider when it comes t

Great news! The U.S. International Trade Commission has overturned the countervailing duties on imported wine bottles following the suit brought by Ardagh and the Steelworkers Union. This decision means that M.A. Silva can continue offering the highest standards in wine bottle production without the added cost burden from these duties. We hope that anti-dumping duties will also be eliminated soon, which will further enhance our ability to deliver competitively priced, top-quality bottles to all of our valued customers. With this recent development, we can maintain our commitment to providing the finest private mold wine bottle options and are excited to expand our glass offerings. In addition to our superior imported glass bottles, we now offer domestic, European, and Chilean-manufactured options, ensuring a wide range of choices for your needs. Please don't hesitate to contact your local M.A. Silva representative to discuss these new opportunities and learn more about how we can s

Welcome to the August update from our friends at Saxco, on market dynamics in beverage packaging. This update first appeared in August’s Ciatti California Report, which you can find on Substack here.  Despite the macro-economic challenges, the CrowdStrike outage, the geopolitical tensions, and the exciting Olympics, the wine packaging market has remained rather stable for the last month.  However, the US Department of Commerce (Commerce) recently made affirmative preliminary antidumping (AD) determinations regarding glass wine bottles and similar glass bottles (740ml-760ml) imported from China, Mexico, and Chile. As a result of these preliminary findings, imports of in-scope glass bottles will incur AD cash deposit requirements at rates within the ranges indicated below. As with the countervailing duty (CVD) cash deposit requirements announced in May 2024, AD cash deposits represent payments of estimated tariffs, and any final AD tariff liability will be dete

We are committed to keeping you informed about the latest industry changes that could affect your business operations. As we all continue to navigate the ongoing uncertainties surrounding US tariff investigations, it is important to understand the implications of the immediate and continued supply and demand imbalances and how the manufacturing industry must consider aligning capacity to the broader market.  The Department of Commerce is set to announce its Anti-Dumping Preliminary Determination concerning imported glass wine bottles and similar containers (740ml-760ml) from China, Mexico, and Chile on July 29th. Following the Department’s May 29th Preliminary Determinations for Countervailing Duties against China, which necessitate cash deposits ranging from 21.14% to 202.70%, the outcome of these investigations could significantly influence market dynamics with immediate impacts to costs and longer-term implications on a rebalancing of manufacturing capacity and lead times
