April 29: Wuhan in China is rapidly becoming a two-piece beverage can manufacturing centre with Baosteel planning to set a plant near the city where a number of herbal tea filling lines have been located.
But unlike Baosteel’s four other beverage can plants, this will be the tinplate company’s first aluminium can line.
The plant is being engineered by Colorado based Evergreen Technology, which is in the process of building CPMC’s second beverage can plant, also at Wuhan.
