ArcelorMittal Flat Carbon Europe (FCE) is set to supply an estimated 140,000 tons of drawn and wall iron (DWI) steels to beverage can producers worldwide in 2013.
The UK-based steel giant will produce the DWI steel at its FCE Packaging Europe sites in Florange, France and Aviles, Spain.
The uniue properties of steel enable beverage can makers to produce 2,000 beverage cans per minute, with can walls that in some parts are not thicker than 60µm, claims the company.
ArcelorMittal global R&D packaging development senior specialist Gilles Mangin said: "ArcelorMittal FCE has long been recognised by beverage can manufacturers as an innovative steel supplier, after introducing metallurgical solutions to drastically reduce the amounts of steel needed to produce a can."
The company offers steels to the entire beverage industry with customers as beverage can manufacturers in North America and Europe, including Ball and Crown.
