Tin plate products
The metal food can is the most efficient, economical and nutritional way to deliver food products to homes, and they're completely recyclable.
Steel, or "tin" cans, named because of the micro-thin coating of tin that prevents corrosion, account for more than 90% of the food can market.
We provide steel for all types of three-piece welded and two-piece cans applications, including drawn and ironed and draw-redraw containers. We also manufacture tin-free steel ends for frozen juice containers.
In North America, more than 32 billion steel cans are manufactured and shipped to the consumer packaging sector every year. We manufacture enough product for three TRILLION soup-sized cans every year!
Our tin plate products are engineered to deliver consistent performance, tight tolerances and reliable surface characteristics.
