Rexam opens first can plant in Finland

Global beverage can maker Rexam has commenced production on the first of two planned lines at its new can manufacturing plant at Mäntsälä in southern Finland. It is Rexam’s first plant in the country and represents an investment of about £68m. On completion of a second line, scheduled for 2014, the plant will have a capacity of approximately 1.35bn 330ml and 500ml aluminium cans. The company says the Nordic market has shown good growth in recent years and Finland has seen a steady transition from glass bottles to can fillings.
