May 26: Manufacture of a British-developed beverage can decorating machine, the first example of which was recently installed at a customer in the Middle East, is being taken over by CMB Engineering, the UK-based equipment division of the world’s largest canmaking firm Crown Holdings.
CMB Engineering, based in Shipley, Yorkshire, and Intercan Group, in Milton Keynes, have entered into a licensing agreement for the commercialisation of the Sovereign beverage can decorator.
It is the first new design of beverage can decorator to be introduced for around two decades.
