- November 2023: Mauser Packaging Solutions acquired Taenza SA de CV, a prominent Mexican manufacturer specializing in tin-steel aerosol cans and steel pails. Based in Mexico City, Taenza has an extensive presence with five manufacturing facilities across the country and a workforce exceeding 850 employees. Its product line includes aerosol spray cans, steel pails, and paint cans, catering to a varied clientele in the paint, coatings, and chemical sectors.
- November 2023: Sonoco and Ball Corporation signed a significant agreement. Under this agreement, Sonoco, specifically through its Sonoco Phoenix business unit, exclusively supplies balls with easy-open, full-panel ends for their food cans. This collaboration solidifies Sonoco's role as Ball's primary supplier and also extends to a joint marketing and sales effort for these innovative food cans.
- September 2023: Ardagh Group and Crown Holdings Inc. are collaborating with the Can Manufacturers Institute (CMI) to boost aluminum beverage can recycling rates. They are achieving this by funding a robot from EverestLab, an artificial intelligence and robotics company, for a California recycling facility. Caglia Environmental, operating in Fresno, CA, deployed this robot on its "last chance line" at the material recovery facility (MRF). This strategic move aims to salvage over 1 million additional used beverage cans (UBC) annually, which would otherwise head to the landfill.
