\n\tNovelis, Atlanta, Ga., announces the commissioning of a new coating line for beverage can end stock, and an expanded recycling center at its complex in Brazil. The company invested approximately $106 million in the combined projects that will add 100,000 metric tons of coating capacity and 190,000 metric tons of recycling capacity when fully operational. <\/p>\n
\n\tThe state-of-the-art coating line is designed specifically for beverage can end stock and demonstrates the continued importance of the can market to Novelis. The addition of this 100,000-ton line doubles the market’s capacity to supply coated can end stock and enables Novelis to deliver directly to can customers in the region, a function previously provided by a third-party partner. Novelis expects to begin shipping commercial product from the new line in the coming months.<\/span><\/p>\n
