I am confident that the Company will continue to benefit from Bob’s management skills, knowledge of our business and commitment to our customers.”

“CROWN Asia Pacific has experienced continuous growth over the years with the regional consumers’ growing preference for beverage in metal cans. I look forward to continuing this exciting journey and partner closely with our customers in Asia to deliver innovative and sustainable metal packaging solutions,” said Bourque.  “I would also like to thank Jozef for his visionary leadership which positioned Crown as the right partner to help brands connect with their consumers and achieve sustainability in the region.”

Crown currently operates 32 plants with beverage, food can, aerosol and general line packaging production lines across China and Southeast Asia, supporting both global and local customers.
