Standard Can

What Standard Can does

Standard Can Co., Ltd. is a privately held Thai manufacturer of three-piece metal cans, founded in 1972 and headquartered in Bangplee, Samutprakarn (Bangkok metropolitan area). The company operates two production plants with combined stated capacity above 1.7 billion cans per year, serving food and dairy (plain lacquer-free cans for fresh fruit, lacquer-coated cans for processed foods, and milk cans for condensed and evaporated milk), beverage (juice, coffee, and energy drinks in sizes from 180cc to 520cc), and paint and industrial coatings customers (1–20 litre paint cans and UN Type Y-certified rectangular cans for vegetable oil, thinner, and hazardous materials).

Production runs on three-piece can lines with UV printing via a Metal Star II six-color machine equipped with visual inspection, supported by an in-house R&D laboratory that performs axial load, panel load, seaming, and welding analysis, and a real-time production efficiency monitoring system integrated with the internal document system. Environmental controls include a German-made Regenerative Thermal Oxidiser with heat recovery, achieving 99.8% destruction efficiency for NOx, COx, odor, and solvents. The company maintains a stack of international certifications—ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, BRC PPM6, Halal, UN Type Y, BPA-NI, and OPP Free.

Standard Can generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales (cans), with complementary service streams from on-site seamer servicing, ProSeam training, and logistics via its wholly-owned subsidiary Double V Logistics (DVL), which operates Scania, Volvo, and Hino trucks. Commercial activity is direct enterprise sales led by sales executives and coordinators targeting named customers such as FrieslandCampina Middle East, Dutch Mill Thailand, Kansai Paint, and Charoen Pokphand Foods, primarily within Thailand with positioning toward ASEAN Halal and export-grade food markets.
