New Box

What New Box does

New Box SpA is a privately held Italian metal packaging manufacturer founded in 1975 and headquartered in Camisano Vicentino, Vicenza. The company operates three plants totaling 80,000 square meters and employs more than 200 professionals, producing steel and tinplate containers — including beverage tins, food cans, custom-shaped tin boxes, crown caps and closures, wire cage caps (muselets) for sparkling wine, general-line containers for food and chemical applications, promotional metal items, and steel aerosol cans — for enterprise customers across the food, beverage, wine and spirits, chemical, and promotional product industries worldwide. New Box has expanded materially via acquisition, absorbing Metalcan and the Eurometal production branch in 2019, Metal Press S.p.A. in March 2025, and announcing the acquisition of F.A.S. S.r.l.'s muselets business for June 2026; in December 2025 it formed New Box Aerosol S.p.A. through the merger of Metal Press and Ferrari Meccanica, creating a dedicated steel tinplate aerosol-can business unit.

The company's technical differentiation rests on proprietary closure systems (Twist Can re-sealable opening, Easy Peel lids), advanced printing capabilities (lithographic offset in 7/6/2-color configurations, digital printing for short runs, LED drying), and a broad portfolio of decorative finishing effects (holographic, scented, flocked, metallic, relief, soft touch). Production prototyping is supported by in-house 3D printing, and the company integrates augmented-reality features into packaging for consumer engagement. Registered exclusive container designs and an in-house design and prototyping function allow New Box to operate as a co-development partner rather than a commodity converter.

New Box runs a direct B2B sales model with custom manufacturing on quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Sales are conducted through dedicated commercial, technical, logistics, and purchasing departments, and the company maintains a multilingual digital presence alongside active participation in industry trade shows (Interpack, Vinitaly, Drinktec, ADF/PCD Paris, R.I.V.E.). The portfolio of certifications — ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, ISO 45001, FSSC 22000, and ISO 22000 — together with an early transition to BPA-NIA / PFAS-NIA production lines from October 2025, supports the company's positioning as a qualified supplier for food-contact and aerosol applications in tightly regulated European markets.
