BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION | NOTE 16. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION We are engaged in the packaging industry and report our results in three business segments: metal containers, closures and plastic containers. The metal containers segment manufactures steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food and general line products. The closures segment manufactures an extensive range of metal, composite and plastic vacuum closures for food and beverage products and plastic closures for the dairy and juice markets. The plastic containers segment manufactures custom designed plastic containers, tubes and closures for personal care, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, food, pet care, agricultural chemical, automotive and marine chemical products. These segments are strategic business operations that are managed separately to maximize the production, technology and marketing of their packaging product. Our metal container business operates primarily in North America and Europe. Our closures business operates in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Our plastic container business operates primarily in North America. There are no inter-segment sales. Our metal containers segment includes the operations formerly designated as metal food containers and the VN operations acquired in March 2011. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note 1. Information for each of the past three years for our business segments is as follows:

Net sales are attributed to the country from which the product was manufactured and shipped. Sales of our metal containers segment to Nestlé Food Company accounted for 10.6 percent, 10.4 percent and 10.0 percent of our consolidated net sales in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sales and income from operations of our metal container business and part of our closures business are dependent, in part, upon the vegetable and fruit harvests in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in a variety of national growing regions in Europe. The size and quality of these harvests varies from year to year, depending in large part upon the weather conditions in applicable regions. Because of the seasonality of the harvests, we have historically experienced higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of our fiscal year and generated a disproportionate amount of our annual income from operations during that quarter (see Note 17).
