The new plant will be located in Minas Gerais State, southeast Brazil to meet the growing demand in the region for beer and soft drink cans. Crown has been operating in Brazil since 1942 and has a strong presence with two-piece aluminum beverage can plants in Cabreúva (São Paulo State), Estância (Sergipe State), Ponta Grossa (Paraná State), Rio Verde (Goiás State), Teresina (Piaui State) and a beverage end plant in Manaus (Amazonas State). The new plant will expand Crown's annual production capacity in Brazil to 13.3 billion cans.
"Brazil is an important growth market for us and our partner, Évora S.A. This expansion will help meet the country's increased demand for beverage cans and demonstrates Crown's continuing commitment to grow with our customers," commented Djalma Novaes, President of Crown's Americas Division. "The aluminum beverage can is perfect for the Brazilian market; it is recyclable and sustainable, is shipped easily and most efficiently preserves the quality of the beverage product for the ultimate consumer."
