Whether its craft beer or carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), beverage-makers increasingly are utilizing aluminum cans, in a variety of sizes and styles, to package their products. As this convenient, on-the-go and sustainable packaging format proliferates across beverage categories, can filling and seaming manufacturers are providing solutions that meet the needs and expectations of beverage manufacturers.
In the non-alcohol sector, the use of slim cans and smaller volume cans is increasing in the marketplace, but the growing use of cans in the alcohol sector also has impacted can filling and seaming manufacturers, notes Bear Marmy, area sales manager for North and South American markets at Switzerland-based Ferrum.
