Crown Holdings, Inc., a leading global supplier of rigid packaging products to consumer marketing companies, will build a new beverage can manufacturing facility in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The 327,000 square foot plant is scheduled to be operational by the second quarter of 2021.
Timothy J. Donahue, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Beverage can growth in North America is being driven by the growing proportion of new products being introduced in cans versus other packaging, as both customers and consumers recognize the inherent portability, durability and sustainability of the beverage can."
The new facility will provide beverage cans to the customers serving a variety of categories including sparkling water, energy drinks, carbonated soft drinks, teas, nutritional beverages, hard seltzers, craft beers and cocktails.
"This new facility demonstrates Crown's commitment to support its customers in meeting this growing demand. On behalf of Crown, I would like to thank our many partners for their enthusiasm and responsiveness in this initiative, including Governor Beshear, the City of Bowling Green, the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce, Warren County, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the Tennessee Valley Authority and Warren Rural Electrical Cooperative Corporation."
