Milestones of Growth

COMPANY HISTORY
Ceylon Beverage Can has been more than 5 years in the making. In 2009 the volumes of beer sales in Sri Lanka from independent Breweries was mainly in Keg or bottles, with the beer Cans volumes around 9 million Cans per year with very small growth. In 2010 the Sri Lankan government reduced the taxes on Beer sales and at the same time increased Electricity cost; this was the turning point in Can beer sales which tripled. Also, what helped the Can sales growth was the increase in electricity whereby increasing the cost in bottle manufacturing.
In 2011 the board of directors of CBC started discussing feasibility of putting a Can and End manufacturing facility into Sri Lanka, with various machine vendors and turnkey project teams. By late 2011 the Can beer sale out sold the Breweries fill capacity, which resulted in Breweries importing filled Cans from South East Asia. In 2014 the breweries invested in new high-speed filling lines to cope with the increase and imported the Cans from India.
Ceylon Beverage Can (Pvt) Ltd was established in February 2014, as a 2-piece Empty Aluminum Can & End manufacturing company in Horana, Sri Lanka — the one & only state-of-the-art Can & End facility in the region. In November 2014, the engineering works commenced on the project and in November 2015 the equipment was installed. The commissioning started in February 2016 with full commercial products out of the factory premises in April 2016.
