Reluctantly, we’re now heading back from another incredible Asia CanTech edition.

This year has been full of industry insights. We’ve heard market research on trends on both food, beverage and aerosol cans, technical presentations on printing and colour, seen videos of can making machines in all their glory, and learned how to make even the nichest of process operations more sustainable and efficient, to mention just a few of the topics covered by our 2025 speakers.

The tabletops as always proved hugely popular, with can makers having the opportunity to visit a total of 94 suppliers across our two exhibition spaces.

Our Award ceremony saw wins across nine categories, with two highly commended certificates issued as well as the supreme winner cup. Congratulations to all the winning companies – read more here.

Conference director Neil McRitchie and the Asia CanTech team also surprised VMI Group’s Johan Jonkman with a special thank you and framed front cover, ahead of his retirement in December. The evening followed with a four-course meal, traditional Thai drumming and a photobooth with fun props for everyone to use – see above for one of our team’s group shot!

Asia CanTech will return in 2026, from 2 to 4 November, back in Bangkok!

Our full event review will be published in the November issue of the magazine, so stay tuned.
