As a result, 120 new positions will be created. The capacity expansion is due to a newly build hall with a third production line. The factory in Helmond opened in 2017 and produces millions of cans every day. Canpack is also active in other countries besides the Netherlands; it operates factories in 18 countries with a total of 6,500 staff.
