Crown Holdings plans to install beverage can line at Dubai plant
Dubai Friday, July 22, 2005The Philadelphia-based Crown Holdings Inc, a leading supplier of packaging products to consumer marketing companies around the world, has announced its affiliate, Crown Bevcan Europe and Middle East, in conjunction with its long-standing regional partner, Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi & Bros, is installing a dedicated beverage end-making facility at its plant in Dubai.
This follows a recent investment in two beverage can lines, one in Jeddah, and one in Dubai to increase beverage can capacity by 1.5 billion cans in the Middle East, as per a company statement.
The new end-making facility, to become operational in the second quarter of next year, will have a production capacity of 1.5 billion beverage can ends per year and will also include end-printing capability.
Ralph Lambert, vice-president Crown Middle East, said: "Our recent capacity enhancements together with our new can and end lines will ensure we can continue to meet the growing needs of our customers across the Middle East for world-class cans, ends and technical support."
Saud A. Algosaibi, managing director of Ahmad Hamad Algosaibi & Bros said: "This is very positive news for both our existing as well as potential customers."
Crown operates five can plants in the Middle East and North Africa, in Dammam and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Amman in Jordan, Dubai and in Tunis.
All the plants are joint ventures with local partner Saudi group A.H. Algosaibi & Bros, which is a large holding company with a broad range of business interests.
Crown's partnership with the group in the Middle East dates back more than 25 years.
