Hulamin (HLM) said on Tuesday it had entered into an agreement with Bevcan (a division of Nampak Limited) to supply aluminium sheet for the manufacture of aluminium bodied beverage cans.
Deliveries are expected to increase to 14‚000 tons by 2015‚ in addition to the can end and tab stock Hulamin currently supplies. The conversion of the can body to aluminium sheet in Southern Africa is a significant step in growing Hulamin’s local sales.
The majority of beverage cans globally are made from aluminium‚ partly due to their light weight‚ corrosion resistance and ability to be cooled rapidly‚ and also because aluminium cans are the most successfully recycled packaging product.
Hulamin said it is considering an appropriate investment in recycling infrastructure to procure used beverage cans and other secondary metal units available in South Africa and the regional market.
