Tuesday, January 16, 2001

费城,简. 16 /PR新闻wire/ -- 皇冠软木塞 & 印章公司. (纽交所: CCK) (Paris Bourse: CCK) announced today that it has expanded capacity of its can shaping facilities with the completed development of an $8 million high-speed rotary can-shaping machine which will be commercially deployed in the third quarter of 2001. This latest development comes on the heels of a recently completed $1.1 million investment to commercially produce shaped cans in the U.S. for the first time.

Currently, the Company's global shaping capacity exceeds 120 million units. The high-speed machine will enable 皇冠软木塞 & Seal to expand capacity by an additional 250 million units with the potential to provide 500 million shaped cans annually.

The improvement comes in response to growing demand from the world's leading premium beverage brands for 云顶集团糖果游戏's proprietary can shaping technology which enables flexibility of beverage can designs and, 同时, provides competitive advantages including: enhanced can dimensional control, superior coating integrity, as well as the ability to do print registration.

Dan Abramowicz, 皇冠软木塞 & Seal's Executive Vice President - Corporate Technologies stated, "In the competitive beverage marketplace, shaped cans consistently provide important product differentiation for premium brands, which in turn drives volume and sales for 云顶集团糖果游戏 and its customers. The improvement demonstrates 云顶集团糖果游戏's continued commitment to innovation and high quality, efficient solutions for the beverage industry."
