What Envases does
Envases Metalúrgicos de Álava, S.A., trading as Envases Group, is a fourth-generation Spanish family-owned manufacturer of monobloc aluminium cans, bottles, and aerosol containers, founded in 1948 and headquartered in Llodio, Álava. The company operates two modern European production plants with in-house tooling capabilities, has produced more than 6 billion units over its 75+ year history, and serves customers in 32+ countries through direct sales offices in Spain and the United Kingdom plus a network of authorised regional distributors covering Europe, North America, the Middle East, Australia, and South Korea. The headcount is stated at 250+ employees (per company self-report) or 11–50 (per third-party firmographics); the company's own figure is used here.
The product portfolio comprises Screw Neck bottles, FEA15/FEA20 cans, and One Inch Opening containers (diameters 35–66), differentiated by four families of proprietary, in-house-developed process technologies: Shaping and Registered Shaping (worldwide patented, deforming can walls in alignment with decoration), Embossing and Deep Embossing (worldwide patented, supporting brand differentiation and anti-counterfeiting), in-line Hot Stamping (eliminating secondary operations, producing a prestigious finish in multiple foil colours), and Special Finishes including Touch Effect and combined Matt & Gloss. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, a 100% Recyclable seal, and an EcoVadis Gold Medal awarded in November 2024 (upgraded from Silver in 2022).
Envases generates revenue through B2B sale of aluminium packaging hardware to enterprise customers in cosmetics and perfumery (primary vertical), pharmaceutical, household products, premium and special-edition beverages, food, automotive, and fire safety/technical applications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers contact regional sales offices or authorised distributors for quotes. Distribution is handled through ten named channel partners — Vetroplas Packaging Ltd., ABA Packaging Corp. (USA), Ameri Srl. (Italy), August Pohli GmbH & Co. KG (Germany), Berlin Packaging Denmark and Berlin Packaging Netherlands, Sophia Simiti (Greece), Identiscents (Middle East), Vidchem Pty. Ltd.
