From MLive:
McLean, a Kalamazoo resident and Western Michigan University graduate, and his partner Scott Richards, of Traverse City, are launching Michigan Mobile Canning, the state’s first mobile canning line.
A 16-foot box truck, loaded with custom-made, sleeve-wrap labeled cans and a Wild Goose Canning Technologies MC-250 modified system designed to can beers, will arrive when a brewery is ready to distribute beer, fill the cans under the brewer's direct supervision and then leave.
The founders have invested more than $160,000 to replicate a concept seeing success in Colorado’s Mobile Canning System, whose founders developed the new packaging solution in 2011 and decided to share their business model through an affiliate program in 2012.
The canning line will be able fill 2 to 2.5 million cans a year, or somewhere between 7,500 to 8,500 barrels. The box truck will also be used to transport pallets of sleeved cans, ends and holders.
