Can-One USA

What Can-One USA does

Can-One USA operates the only aluminum beverage can manufacturing facility in New England, producing 12oz and 16oz printed and unprinted (brite) cans for the U.S. beverage market. Established in 2022 as a U.S. subsidiary of Malaysia-based Can-One Group and founded by Jin Hoe Yeoh, the company broke ground in Nashua, New Hampshire, and began commercial production at the 184,900-square-foot plant in August 2024. Installed capacity exceeds 800 million cans per year on dual 8-color offset decorator lines running at 1,800+ cans per minute, with leadership that includes a Plant Manager (Chaidir Umar) carrying 40 years of two-piece can manufacturing experience across more than eight plants worldwide.

The technology stack is centered on beverage-can printing and finishing: dual decorators, a full-time certified INX International Ink Co. color-matching technician on site, and Sherwin-Williams interior and exterior coatings (including BPA-NI and epoxy-based liners selected for specific beverage chemistries such as pH, acidity, ABV, and citrus oils). Supporting capabilities include an in-house Design Lab for artwork preparation, custom liner selection, approximately 170,000 square feet of warehousing across on-site and off-site facilities for customer inventory, and fulfillment and logistics services. Quality credentials include ISO 9001:2015 certification from the National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI), and stated GMP and SQF compliance for food-contact packaging.

Revenue is generated through direct sales of cans to beverage brands under a quote-based, unit-pricing model. Minimum order quantities start at a quarter-truckload, with half and full truckload tiers available and mix-and-match SKUs across can sizes and decoration. The go-to-market is functionally B2B direct sales — beverage brands initiate orders through the company website contact form — supported by industry event sponsorship (Maine Brewers Guild), on-site brewer tours, and a case-study-led content marketing approach. Served verticals span craft brewing, beverage alcohol and RTDs, energy drinks, soft drinks, kombucha, and other functional beverages; geographic emphasis is regional (5 New England states within 200 miles of Nashua) with stated intent to expand more broadly across the United States and a second Nashua production line planned for 2027.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Sherwin-Williams (Packaging Coatings): Sherwin-Williams is Can-One USA's named coatings partner and the global leader in interior and exterior can coatings. As a critical enabling supplier for beverage can manufacturing, it represents the kind of ecosystem dependency that shapes Can-One USA's product quality and differentiation.
• INX International Ink Co. INX International is Can-One USA's named ink partner, providing the color matching system, on-site technician, and contest platform (2026 INX Can Design Contest). It is an ecosystem enabler rather than a competitor, but its partnership is a meaningful part of Can-One USA's value proposition.
• Novelis (aluminum sheet supplier): Novelis is the world's largest producer of aluminum sheet for beverage cans and a key upstream supplier to Can-One USA and its peers. While not a direct competitor, it is the critical input provider for the entire aluminum can value chain and shapes the cost economics of all can manufacturers.

Emerging players

• CCL Container: CCL Container is a North American manufacturer of aluminum cans serving specialty and craft beverage markets. It competes most directly with Can-One USA in the small-run, high-decoration segment of beverage can manufacturing, making it the closest niche-level peer.

Broad incumbents

• Ardagh Metal Packaging: Ardagh Metal Packaging is a major global producer of aluminum and steel cans, spun out of Ardagh Group. It operates multiple U.S. plants and competes head-to-head with Can-One USA in beverage can supply, particularly for beer, energy, and soft drink customers.
• Ball Corporation: Ball Corporation is the world's largest manufacturer of aluminum beverage cans, operating dozens of plants globally with billions of cans of annual capacity. It is the dominant incumbent in the exact same product category Can-One USA serves, with massive scale advantages but less regional flexibility.
• Crown Holdings: Crown Holdings is a global metal packaging manufacturer with significant aluminum can production across North America, Europe, and emerging markets. It competes directly in beverage can manufacturing and serves many of the same end-markets (beer, energy drinks, RTDs) with much greater scale.
• Trivium Packaging: Trivium Packaging is a global metal packaging producer with aluminum can operations in North America and Europe. It serves many of the same beverage end-markets as Can-One USA and represents one of the global players that could potentially expand into the New England region.

Regional players

• Envases Universales: Envases Universales is a Latin American metal packaging manufacturer with operations primarily in Mexico and South America. While not directly competing in the U.S. Northeast, it represents a comparable emerging-market regional can maker expanding globally, mirroring Can-One Group's international expansion via Can-One USA.

Direct peers

• Can-One Group: Can-One Group is the Malaysia-based parent company of Can-One USA and itself a manufacturer of aluminum and steel cans across Asia. It is the most direct operational peer, sharing the same equipment, processes, and corporate DNA; Can-One USA effectively represents its North American platform.
