Species as food and drink, like a new scene, and their packaging materials are also increasingly diverse. Such diversification of steel cans is a great test of the product. At present, in addition to aluminum cans, the plastic, glass and paper alternatives on the market share of steel cans posed a challenge. In response to intense competition, Baosteel metal packaging industry have continuously strengthened steel application technology research, and actively guide the market demand, current production and sales of metal packaging industry in China has jumped to the top three, production value of nearly one billion yuan.

 As an extension of the iron and steel processing, metal packaging industry has Baosteel unique supply chain synergies. Baosteel steel tank production line put into production early, steel cans had a large area of the tank leakage problem, to this end, Po-wing and Baosteel Can research departments purity from the plate and find out the reasons, such as active, quickly identified the crux of the problem, the original, a well-known supplier of oil quality problems have emerged. More than a decade after, the Iron and Steel Metal packaging supply chain upstream and downstream linkages more closely. Metal packaging materials in the supply side, Baoshan Iron and Steel metal has a strong backing of the main industry. It is learned that China's annual output of tin plate is about 2 million tons, while Baoshan Iron and Steel production reached 800,000 tons. Baoshan Iron and Steel Corporation of the technological innovation of metal has also been given a high degree of support in 2008 approval of 20 research projects have focused on two projects with two of the cans. For energy saving and environmental protection of social responsibility, and Baoshan Iron and Steel Institute of Metal also launched a study of recycling of steel packaging. Baoshan Iron and Steel Institute has also taken the lead in the establishment of the largest domestic packaging laboratory, built the only two cans of a simulated production line, used to study the composition, such as iron ion content of precipitation on the impact.

 Baosteel metal packaging industry in view of supply chain collaboration advantages of a whole, it is learned that China is being developed for the metal packaging Research and Development Center of Baosteel is expected to settle down.

 Metal packaging industry in China, Baoshan Iron and Steel is a steel metal cans only two manufacturers. However, Baoshan Iron and Steel and metal are not stagnant. Over the years, Baosteel metal in terms of cost, quality, variety and service, continuous innovation to make our products in domestic market share of over 10%.

 Supply chain through the common research and development, Baosteel steel tank thinning to achieve a sustained, the current has been reduced to 0.235 millimeters, greatly reduces the cost of production and further enhance the competitiveness has become the Coca-Cola, Pepsi and other brands designated suppliers. Baosteel has also initiated a 0.2 mm metal sheet research, Baoshan Iron and Steel Tinplate species provide further support to expand.

Baosteel's metal can manufacturing Po-wing, Hebei Can also continue to improve production technology, and actively develop new products. At present, product specifications from the first about 355 milliliters, to expand to 330-500 ml, can basically meet the needs of the user's varieties. In recent years, Baosteel Metal Baoyin subordinate company also introduced the first production line six-color, in order to provide users with Baoshan Iron and Steel Tinplate Printing, shear, distribution and warehousing services, such as an extension of the processing, greatly reduces the cost of transit users have been widely praised. The company also from the ink quality control, process technology improvements start with a core technology, the printing pattern is more beautiful, the formation of independent innovation of proprietary anti-counterfeiting technology, has also been received by users. Baoyin company has applied for new capacity projects, the project is expected to put into operation, 2008 output will increase to 100,000 tons by 2012 to reach about 150,000 tons.

 At present, the field of metal packaging, Baosteel Metal is committed to study abroad, advanced technology, and strive to better maintain the content of the steel tank taste and quality in the package to seek new breakthroughs.

 As users of nearly Yuet far, the Baosteel steel tank risk of exposure to the development of transportation and production capacity constraints a new topic. To this end, the Baoshan Iron and Steel Metal metal packaging industry has developed a strategic development plan, the formation of the Shanghai Can Po-wing, Hebei North Zunhua Can, Can Chengdu, Sichuan, Guangdong, Foshan Can the layout of the network. Of these, Can Chengdu in May 2008 is expected to reach design capacity, Foshan Can debug access in August. Completed project is expected to put into operation, the annual output of Baosteel steel tank will be more than 3.5 billion cans, home canned domestic industries.

 Play areas for further linkage effects, an effective solution to transport products to form a whole greater synergies, Baosteel Metal also developed a two tank system and production management erp systems, and extended to the production plant, in order to concentrate, Matrix-style the development of large-scale manufacturing, dramatically reducing the operating cost.

 In addition, Baosteel has metal can manufacturing business with some contact, and explore mergers and acquisitions, mergers way and are expected to intervene in the production of aluminum cans. At the same time, research in Southeast Asia is in the process of tin-plate market, plans to enter India, Vietnam, the Philippines and other regions.
