Values like security, protection and preservation have been associated with steel for decades of tradition and effectiveness, while it is adapting itself to the changing world of evolving consumers and brands' needs, presenting outstanding new shaping, embossing, printing and sizing potential as will be demonstrated.
Five million tonnes of steel for packaging are produced each year by approximately 10,000 people in 8 countries. More than half this production is used in the food and drinks industries, but the applications of steel for packaging are vast, covering virtually the entire field of industrial and consumer products.
