Ardagh Group was again successful at this year’s prestigious Cans of the Year awards held at the Canmaker Summit in Tokyo, winning one Gold trophy.
The Gold award came in the Food Two-Piece category for the drawn tinplate metallic-effect 150g can made for the second-largest South Korean tuna brand, SAJO’s premium Tuna, using Ardagh’s Easy Peel® end.
The Easy Peel® end was developed by Ardagh for processed food customers as a safe, easy opening packaging solution for both children and older consumers.
It is also up to 50 percent lighter than a standard end.
“Continued recognition at this major industry gathering is important to us, and demonstrates the effort and hard work that our colleagues put into product quality and innovation,†said David Wall, managing director of Ardagh’s metal packaging division.
