A second two-piece beverage can plant is being built in Cambodia, for Baosteel Can Making (Cambodia) Company, the fifth overseas facility in Southeast Asia. This new project, a significant expansion of Baosteel's operations in the region, is set to further strengthen its footprint in the beverage packaging market.​

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by local dignitaries and company representatives, signifying the importance of this investment in Cambodia's industrial development. Baosteel has been steadily growing its presence in Southeast Asia, with existing plants in Vietnam and Malaysia, in addition to its initial Cambodian facility. The new plant in Cambodia will leverage state-of-the-art technology and efficient production processes, mirroring the success of its sister plants.

This expansion comes as part of Baosteel's strategic plan to meet the increasing demand for beverage cans in the region. With the growing popularity of canned beverages, from energy drinks to carbonated sodas, the need for high-quality, reliable packaging has surged. Baosteel aims to capture a larger share of this market by providing top-notch products and services. The new plant is expected to create a substantial number of local jobs, contributing to Cambodia's economic growth and development. It will also enhance Baosteel's ability to serve its customers in Southeast Asia more efficiently, reducing lead times and ensuring a steady supply of beverage cans.​

Upon completion, the plant will not only increase Baosteel's production capacity but also solidify its position as a leading player in the global beverage packaging industry. The company's continuous investment in overseas expansion showcases its confidence in the long-term growth potential of the Southeast Asian market and its customers.
