Produced at Rexam’s La Selva plant in Spain, the 33cl cans have been designed by Portuguese artist, Joana Vasconcelos.

“The cans have great standout on shelf and we know our customers will love them.”

The La Selva plant had undergone an extensive engineering project to operate with aluminium-only production lines.

Sagres marketing manager Raul Simão said: “The cans have great standout on shelf and we know our customers will love them. Working alongside a like-minded brand that shares our values of innovation and commitment to sustainability was key in helping us to choose the right partner.”
