This state-of-the-art, high speed, DWI (Drawn Wall Ironed) production line will supply food cans to the French processed food market, starting in Q4 2010. The investment, which aims to deliver quality metal packaging at low cost, is Impress’ third DWI food can line in Europe, following a similar investment line in Deventer, The Netherlands in 2008, and Sutton-in-Ashfield, UK.
DWI is the same production technique used in making beverage cans. It offers shorter process times and is the most cost-effective technique when manufacturing quantity, same-size food cans.

“It makes good business sense for Impress to invest in technology that helps us gain cost advantage without compromising quality or flexibility”, said Francis Labbé, CEO of Impress. “DWI allows us to provide customers at certain volume levels with the lowest cost cans on the market, which is a clear advantage in today’s price-sensitive climate.”

This major investment is a clear demonstration of Impress’ commitment to its customers in the French food market.
