Cans & Closures

Aluminum is an ideal material for packaging: the metal‘s light weight and recyclability, together with its formability, superior barrier qualities and its ability to catch the eye all help manufacturers of packaging add value to their products.

Novelis’ global infrastructure supplies customers on four continents with flat-rolled aluminum in sheet and coil form for the production of beverage cans (bodies, ends and tabs), food cans (fish, vegetable and meat / paste industry) and screw-caps for the beverage industry. This material can be ordered as rolled, degreased, pre-lubed, pre-treated and / or lacquered.

But Novelis’ involvement in the supply chain doesn’t end there. The company goes beyond simply supplying metal: Novelis is a technical solution provider. Our Global Can Technology Team offers world-class technological expertise and facilities, notably the renowned Packaging Technology Centre at Aurora. Novelis can offer excellent technical back-up, including support for customers’ own innovation activities.

The company‘s extensive recycling operations, together with its lead role in joint industry programs to promote aluminum recycling, identify Novelis as one of the industry leaders in this field.
