Crown Holdings building Virginia facility

Yardley-based Crown Holdings recently announced plans to build a new beverage can manufacturing facility in Henry County, Va.

The location was selected because it expands Crown’s North American supply network to meet the growing market for standard and specialty beverage cans.

The 355,000-square-foot facility is the company’s third beverage can manufacturing investment in North America in the last five years.

“This investment further demonstrates Crown’s commitment to support its customers in meeting the increased demand for aluminum beverage cans,” Timothy J. Donahue, president and CEO of Crown Holdings, said. “The Henry County plant will give Crown a stronger position in the specialty can market, while allowing Crown to better serve the needs of customers and consumers for more sustainable packaging.”

The plant will produce cans for customers in the carbonated soft drinks, beer and cocktails, energy drink, functional beverage, hard seltzer, sparkling water, and tea industries.

The facility is expected to create 126 jobs and begin operations during the second quarter of 2022.

Crown Holdings’ subsidiaries are global suppliers of rigid packaging products used for a broad range of end markets, including transit and protective packaging products.

The company partnered with many organizations for the project, including the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Martinsville-Henry County Economic Development Corp.
