BELVAC EXPANDS TO SUPPORT GROWING DEMAND FOR BEVERAGES

Belvac, a Dover Corporation company specializing in can forming and decorating technologies for the two-piece can industry, has expanded its services by investing in a new pilot line to support the growing global demand for beverage can making equipment and support services.

The addition of this pilot line enables the development of innovative two-piece aluminium beverage and aerosol containers with special shapes. Container manufacturers can also use it to test coatings and inks along with lightweight material.

David Mammolenti, executive vice president of Belvac, said, “Growing consumer demand for more environmentally friendly aluminum beverage cans and bottles that better meet environmental standards and regulatory conditions is driving growth throughout the can manufacturing industry. Belvac anticipated this increased demand for its products and services and has been investing to expand its manufacturing capabilities, product offering and support services. These most recent investments ensure that Belvac now has full line equipment capabilities to provide complete plant integration services, mitigating risk in installation and commissioning.”

Belvac is headquartered in Lynchburg, Virginia, USA, with manufacturing operations in Virginia, New York, Dongen, The Netherlands, Plzen, Czech Republic and sales offices in Europe, China, South America and the Middle East.
