Moravia Cans

What Moravia Cans does

Moravia Cans a.s. is a privately held Czech manufacturer of custom aluminum aerosol cans, headquartered and operating from a single production site in Bojkovice. Established in its current form in 1992 through Czech privatization and tracing aerosol production lineage to 1966 under the predecessor Zeveta Group, the firm designs and produces standard and custom-shaped aluminum aerosol containers serving global personal care, cosmetics, and household product brands including Unilever (Nivea, Dove, Rexona, Axe), P&G-tier accounts (Pantene, Febreze, Wella), Rituals, and Oriflame. Products are exported to approximately 20 countries via a direct-to-brand-owner distribution model.

The company's technical platform combines Impact Extrusion and Draw and Wall Ironing (DWI) manufacturing, supported by proprietary patented inputs: in-house developed super alloys, a patented true 360° embossing and debossing technology aligned to print registration, and a Smart Scope contact-free measurement system. Operational assets include what the company describes as the world's fastest impact-extruded aluminum aerosol line at 250 cans per minute (installed 2011), a world-first Light-tester for sub-10-micron pinhole detection, and Wilco leak detection technology. The product portfolio spans standard cans in diameters 38-59mm, deep full-body shaped cans, DWI sustainable cans with up to 100% recycled content, and 360° embossed/debossed containers.

Moravia Cans operates a B2B sales-led enterprise model with a dedicated sales department, quote-based pricing tied to specifications and volumes, and multi-year contracts with brand owners. Revenue is generated through unit sales of custom and standard cans plus design and engineering services. The firm holds ISO 9001 (since 1997), ISO 14001, BRCGS, ASI Performance Standard, and GDPR certifications, and maintains memberships in Metal Packaging Europe, the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, and the Carbon Disclosure Project. No funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors are disclosed.
