Massilly invests $85M into new can production plant

Massilly North America, a manufacturer of metal packaging solutions for the F&B industry, is investing $85 million into establishing a new can manufacturing facility in Ontario. In support of this investment, Ontario is providing $5 million in funding through the Ontario Together Trade Fund.

The new facility will have coil cutting and three-piece can production lines.

“Today’s investment is great news for workers and families in Brantford and across Ontario and will support good-paying jobs throughout our manufacturing supply chain,” said Premier Doug Ford. “Our government will continue to cut taxes and red tape to attract investment and create good-paying jobs as we build the strongest, most resilient and most competitive economy in all the G7.”

“This project is a testament to our belief in Canadian manufacturing,” said Garnet Lasby, president at Massilly North America. “By combining Canadian steel with our technical expertise, we are creating a ‘made in Canada’ solution that benefits the environment, the economy and the consumer.”
