From Crown Holdings:
Philadelphia, PA – March 26, 2013/mbb/. MobileCanningSystems™ LLC (www.mobilecanningsystems.com), the market leader in bringing a canning line to the brewery when the beer is ready, announced today that it has selected CROWN Beverage Packaging North America, a business unit of Crown Holdings, Inc. (www.crowncork.com), as its can supplier.
MobileCanningSystems, through its affiliate program that is rapidly expanding across the United States, delivers fast, reliable production canning services to craft breweries using a high performance canning line modified for mobility. In addition, the program provides production supplies, most importantly labeled cans, allowing MobileCanningSystems affiliates to support smaller breweries in joining the “Canned Craft Beer Revolution” at a minimal cost of entry. The MobileCanningSystems approach eliminates the need for craft brewers to make large purchases of can inventory that far exceed their production needs and in-house storage capacity.
“By applying shrink sleeve labels to unprinted cans, we are able to produce smaller volumes of decorated cans at an economical price, enabling our Affiliates to offer craft breweries a complete solution for canning their beer including both the packaging service and the container,” said Pat Hartman, MobileCanningSystems co-Founder and Managing Partner. “We are excited to be working with Crown, a company that has demonstrated both an understanding of and strong commitment to the craft brewing industry.”
MobileCanningSystems labels the cans in its Longmont Colorado facility and fulfills orders for its affiliates as needed to satisfy the production volume requirements of the craft breweries which they serve. MobileCanningSystems Affiliates have already launched in Colorado and Virginia and are gearing up in Michigan, California, Connecticut, upstate New York, and Ohio.
“We are pleased to be working with MobileCanningSystems to offer new opportunities to brewers and to further advance the availability of quality craft beers in cans,” said Tim Lorge, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, CROWN Beverage Packaging North America, “Craft brewing is exploding across the nation and this partnership is the latest step in Crown’s ongoing commitment to helping brewers leverage metal packaging to enhance their brands and meet growing consumer demand.”
