Following the completion of this deal, Crown has now taken over the existing customer base and contracts of Helvetia.

Helvetia’s approximately 200 employees will also become a part of Crown.

According to Crown, the addition of Helvetia’s beverage can and end-manufacturing facility into its portfolio will allow it to expand its European beverage can platform into the German market and add approximately one billion units of production capacity per year.

This capacity will further help the company to address the increasing demand of its local and regional clients for infinitely recyclable aluminium beverage cans.
