Profile
Produces aluminum beverage cans and ends, North American food and aerosol packaging, and Signode-derived transit packaging. Beverage cans anchor the mix, most sales come from outside the United States, and long-tail asbestos claims remain active alongside the manufacturing footprint.
Manufactures aluminum beverage cans and ends across the Americas, Europe, and Asia Pacific, alongside North American food, aerosol, and closure products. Transit Packaging supplies equipment, tools, films, straps, airbags, edge protectors, honeycomb products, and related consumables used to secure goods in manufacturing, transport, and warehousing.
Most sales come from outside the United States. The operating model emphasizes continuous improvement, manufacturing efficiency, safety, resource management, and focused capacity expansion across a footprint spanning dozens of countries.
Beverage cans anchor the product mix, while the Signode-derived platform adds industrial packaging exposure. The completed European Tinplate divestiture increased concentration in beverage packaging, and long-tail asbestos claims inherited through a brief historical ownership link remain active.
