Pioneering development work at Ardagh Group's specialist aluminum can plant in Cuxhaven, north Germany has resulted in the production of the world's lightest aluminum seafood can.The shaped seafood can, referred to in the industry as a "dingley", has been designed with a conical wall thickness of only 0.170 mm, a significant advance over its nearest competitor at 0.215mm. This impressive innovation was achieved by technicians atthe Cuxhaven plant supported by Ardagh's R&D Center in Crosmieres, France. Together they applied their in-depth knowledge of beading - the ridges, which come in many shapes and sizes, built into the can to give its body strength and stability.
