A surge in demand for canned foods during the COVID-19 pandemic has led metal container manufacturers to speed up production to keep pace. For example, Silgan’s record Q1 earnings are in part because of the jump in demand, and Crown’s website lists 81 open jobs at its 25 U.S. plants.
Berlin Packaging, a full-service supplier of glass, plastic and metal containers and closures, has acquired Verrerie Calvet, a packaging supplier in Aimargues, France, the heart of Southern France’s food region.
Veritiv Corporation announces it has completed the acquisition of All American Containers, a family-owned and operated leading distributor of rigid packaging including plastic, glass and metal containers, caps, closures and plastic pouches.
