Crown to Increase Can Production Capacity

18 February 2010

Crown Holdings said its subsidiary Crown Asia Pacific will install a second beverage can line at its existing facility in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

The new line is expected to have an annual production capacity of nearly 600 million two-piece 33cl aluminium beverage cans, Crown said.

The production line, expected to be operational in Q4 of 2010 would expand the plant's capacity to more than 1.2 billion cans, the company said.

With the new venture, Crown expects to annually produce 3 billion aluminium two-piece cans with its five-beverage can lines in three facilities in Vietnam.
