The US’ Crown Holdings, a leading supplier of metal packaging products worldwide, officially launched a production facility in central coastal Danang on October 30.

The more than $40 million factory in the Lien Chieu Industrial Park has a designed capacity of 700 million cans per year.

Crown Danang supplies two-piece cans for Vietnam Brewery Limited Danang, Saigon Beer, Suntory Pepsico in neighbouring Quang Nam province, Coca Cola Danang, Dung Quat Beer in Quang Ngai province, and other beer and beverage companies in central Vietnam.

Crown Danang is the largest foreign-invested project in Lien Chieu Industrial Park to date and is expected to draw interest in the park from other foreign investors.

Lien Chieu was developed by Saigon-Danang Investment Company under Saigon Invest Group and is home to 23 Vietnamese and two foreign-invested projects. It covers 182 hectares and more than 141 ha of that have been occupied.
