Rexam to build new beverage can packaging plants

Rexam, the global consumer packaging company and the leading beverage can maker, to build its second beverage can making plant in Russia and a new can end making plant in Brazil.

The new plant in Russia is in Chelyabinsk in the Urals. Customers have already made important can filling investments in the Central and Eastern area of Russia which has a population of more than 60 million people. Customers are expected to invest further to meet the significant and growing consumption which today is being satisfied by filled cans supplied from outside the Urals.
