Ardagh Group has acquired a new facility in Huron, Ohio, for the manufacturing of infinitely recyclable beverage cans and ends. The facility, which will start production in late 2021, will have three can production lines, together with ends capacity.
Claude Marbach, CEO, Ardagh Metal – Beverage North America, said: “This project forms part of Ardagh’s $1.8 billion 2021-2024 business growth investment program and is being undertaken to meet fast-growing demand as consumers increasingly recognize the environmental and quality advantages of beverage cans.”
Huron plant will manufacture beverage cans in multiple sizes for sparkling water, soft drinks, teas and alcoholic beverages. Output from the Huron plant is secured by long-term customer agreements.
“Our products deliver high recycle and content rates, which support customer sustainability targets and contribute to a circular economy. And with ideal filling, distribution and retail display economics, beverage cans help build businesses as well. This latest expansion is indicative of Ardagh’s consistent commitment to supporting customer growth,” Claude Marbach said.
