According to Baosteel, the proposed plant will mainly produce 330ml and 500ml two-piece aluminium cans which will be sold in southern Vietnam and south-eastern Asian countries, including Thailand.
Once operational in early 2013, the plant’s annual production capacity is expected to reach 700 million cans and will meet Southeast Asia’s growing demand for aluminium beverage cans.
Baosteel claims that the project in Vietnam is Baosteel Metal packaging business’s first step in overseas development.
The demand for beverage cans in Vietnam has prompted the company to choose the country for the first stage of its overseas expansion.
