One in 10 of all beer cans sold in the UK was now made at the Skippingdale plant, which operates on a round-the-clock basis. "We are also exporting around 20 per cent of the 700-million cans a year made here to nine European countries including Germany, Holland and Belgium."
The growing success of Can-Pack UK has also led to the national supply chain specialists TM Logistics (TML) taking on 12 extra staff in Scunthorpe.
A TML spokeswoman said: "We run a 24/7 operation on the site, supplying the Carlsberg brewery around the clock on a just-in-time basis.
"By moving on site and setting up the contract, TML has created 12 new jobs from drivers to management roles."
Can-Pack UK was currently in fourth place in the UK canning league, behind the leaders Rexham.
The main Scunthorpe customer is the Danish-owned Carlsberg brewery followed by Dutch rivals Heineken.
