Pump House Brewery has reportedly announced the launch of its new subsidiary company Candu Packaging to supply aluminium can shrink-sleeving and printing as well bulk blank can sales to breweries in Atlantic Canada.

“Currently, when a microbrewery needs cans to put their beer in, their only option is to source them from Ontario or beyond,” said Shaun Fraser, co-owner of Pump House Brewery, in a statement. He further added, “By the time they get cans printed or sleeved, then delivered all the way to Atlantic Canada, the shipping costs add up. This can be tough on smaller breweries, where every penny counts.”
Per the report, Candu Packaging sources its cans from a manufacturer in China that also owns a brewery. Candu has negotiated exclusive rights to distribute cans in Canada andMexico, as well as shared distribution in the United States.
Roland Arsenault, Director Sales for Candu, said: “We personally toured the facility in China and got to see first-hand the world-class operation they are running there. Their plant dwarfs some of the larger facilities back home and is state-of-the-art. They produce over 500 million cans per year for customers all over the world.”
Pump House Brewery’s subsidiary company started operations in late 2018 and is now ramping up to full production.
