So You Want To Build A Can Plant?

Building a can plant takes more than machinery. A first line typically needs to produce at least 600 million cans a year to be commercially viable, and success depends on coordinating more than 1,000 engineering, permitting and commissioning responsibilities. In an industry where margins are measured in fractions of a cent per can, small details can cost millions over a plant’s lifetime. “So You Want to Build a Can Plant?” from Roeslein draws on plants built across four continents to show what the process really involves, from planning to the first commercial run.

This guide shows how:

• Investors and executives can choose a site, plan staged growth and protect long-term value through strong preliminary engineering
• Plant and operations teams can track $/000 and key performance indicators, and plan training to turn a new facility into an operating asset
• Engineers and project managers can use modular, off-site construction and structured turnkey delivery to save time, reduce risk and keep projects on schedule
• Maintenance and lifecycle teams can use assessments, retrofits, parts and field service to sustain uptime
