Conversion from steel to aluminum will help meet customers’ growing demand for package differentiation

GLOBAL beverage can maker, Rexam, has converted its two beverage can plants in Spain from steel to aluminum. The preference for aluminum cans has increased significantly over the past few years, Rexam said.

The Rexam plant in La Selva, near Tarragona in Spain, converted one of its four lines to aluminium in 2011 and the remaining three are now following suit. The La Selva facility is expected to come on stream in the first quarter of 2015.

Rexam’s Valdemorillo plant near Madrid will start converting its three lines during 2015 for start-up in 2016.

The switch is being supported by aluminum coil supplier Constellium.

Spain is an important beverage can market and is the second largest in Europe, producing over 7 billion cans a year.Air Jordan 4 IV Retro 30TH
