Britvic Opens New High-Capacity Can Production Lines At U.K. Plant

Britvic’s three-year, multimillion-dollar U.K. infrastructure investment program has resulted in the creation of three new aluminum can production lines in the Rugby plant, collectively capable of producing 6,000 cans a minute. The $139 million production lines are expected to generate 80 new jobs at the plant, while reducing waste and boosting flexibility in the type of material –aluminum or steel – used.  The company claims that by April its steel can formats will be replaced by aluminum cans, removing 8,000 tons of metal annually.
