Showa Aluminum Can opened its third manufacturing base in South Vietnam

The Ba Ria-Vung Tau factory is the third production base of Hanacans JSC (Hanacans – a consolidated Vietnamese subsidiary of SAC) and has a production capacity of 1.3 billion can bodies per year. In addition to the construction of the Ba Ria-Vung Tau factory, Hanacans is now installing an additional line to produce can ends at its Bac Ninh factory.

SAC acquired shares in Hanacans in May 2014 and continues to have Hanacans introduce SAC’s leading production technologies and quality control system since then. Hanacans has been successfully increasing the sales of aluminium cans in the northern and central parts of Vietnam.

With the completion of the Ba Ria-Vung Tau factory, Hanacans has established an aluminium can production system with three production bases that covers the northern, central, and southern parts of Vietnam. Now Hanacans has a capacity to produce 3.3 billion can bodies and 3.3 billion can ends per year.

In Vietnam, Showa Denko Group will enhance the value of customer’s experience by making the most of its aluminium can production system that can quickly respond to shifts in market demand and is also expanding its business in Vietnam.
