Commenting on the partnership, John T Shaddox, the chief commercial officer of Ardagh’s North American glass business unit, said, "Ardagh is passionate about working with Copper Cane Wines & Provisions to meet their sustainability initiatives by supporting the American economy with environmentally-friendly glass bottles that are made in the USA."
