Aluminum can stock for bottle cans

Supplying aluminum can stock to canmakers throughout the country: 2 out of every 3 bottle cans are made of Kobe Steel's can stock

Aluminum cans, commonly used as containers for beer and other beverages, are familiar to everyone. Nowadays, bottle cans with twist caps are widely used, as they are convenient to carry around.

Kobe Steel is the top Japanese manufacturer of aluminum can stock. Two out of every three bottle cans are made of Kobe Steel's aluminum material. Making this possible are new developments in aluminum alloys as well as a modern production line.
