In November 2015, United Caps opened a manufacturing facility in Schwerin, northern Germany.

Spread across a 10,000m² area, the Schwerin plant features two production halls, each of which can produce up to 2.5 billion closures annually.

The facility is equipped to produce closures for the beverages sector, enabling United Caps to capture business in the German beverage industry.
