Innovation in Metal Beverage Packaging with Ardagh Group

Ensuring effective and efficient operations

We continue to succeed in process innovation by focusing closely on the following areas: new market solutions, product optimisation such as lightweighting, and by instilling a culture of continuous improvement and operational excellence.

Our aim is always to create efficiencies, as part of our own production processes and those of our customers.

We continue to refine metal packaging production methods in order to down-gauge the material, making it thinner & lighter &, therefore, using less raw materials.
