The facility is comprised of two lines that manufacture 73 mm and 65mm diameter ends. The first line has been operational since the middle of 2017 and the 65mm line was installed towards the end of the year.

Both lines serve customers across Europe on a daily basis, providing high quality ends for applications including pet food, vegetables and ready meals.

“European food can volume growth is largely being driven by the Eastern countries, while production in the Western region has remained relatively level,” said Laetitia Durafour, Senior Marketing & Communication Manager at Crown Food Europe. “This growth is generated by developing regions in Eastern Europe, where preserved foods are popular and metal cans remain the preferred packaging type in terms of product preservation, presentation and added value.”
