The company, which is China’s largest three-piece can maker, is anticpating strong future growth in the country’s steel beverage can market.
President Joan Wei revealed that ORG is installing eight new three-piece lines in 2012, to match forecasted beverage sales growth by its major customers. Two new 650 cpm lines were installed in the company’s Beijing plant at the start of the year followed by two 650 cpm lines in the Foshan plant in Guangdong in the second quarter this year.
ORG Packaging is also installing four new 1,000 cpm three-piece lines from Soudronic this year. Two of the lines will be installed in the Foshan plant and the two other lines in the company’s Wuhan plant in Hubei, central China.
ORG recently opened its first two-piece beverage can plant in Hangzhou in Zhejiang Province, East China.
The factory is the first of two two-piece can plants that ORG Packaging plans to open. A second two-piece drinks can factory is under construction and is due to open in Zhaoqing in southern Guangdong Province in 2013.
