Ardagh Group will invest in its Valparaiso facility, in Indiana, USA to meet the increasing demand for innovative, eye-catching beverage can tabs and ends. The plant will increase production by approximately 10 percent. The new production will be available in the third quarter of 2019.
Claude Marbach, CEO, Ardagh Metal – North America, said: “We’re very proud to increase Valparaiso’s production capabilities, further positioning the plant as a world-class source of innovative, eye-catching tabs and ends.”
“We are providing leading beverage organisations the best in brand-building packaging, enabling differentiation on retail shelves with the inherent environmental benefits of aluminium cans.”
The 135,000 square feet facility produces the end or “top” of the can as well as the tab, which consumers pull to open the can. The company said the leading beverage companies are choosing to utilise colourful graphics for ends and tabs, complimenting the full surface space of the can body used to showcase their brand.
