Crown Holdings, Inc. announced plans to establish a beverage can manufacturing facility in Northern India, marking an important milestone in the Company's continued global expansion and its entry into one of the world's most dynamic and rapidly growing beverage markets. The two-line facility is expected to commence operations during the second half of 2027 and, at full capacity, will produce approximately 2,200,000,000 cans annually. The plant will serve the accelerating demand in India for aluminum beverage cans across both alcoholic and non-alcoholic segments, driven by shifting consumer preferences, sustainability imperatives, and the ongoing premiumization of beverage packaging in the region.

Designed to incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies, best-in-class operational efficiencies, and leading sustainability standards, the new facility underscores Crown's commitment to delivering environmentally responsible best-in-class packaging solutions. Aluminum beverage cans remain the most recycled and sustainable beverage packaging format globally. The project is supported by long-term customer commitments, including a partnership with United Breweries Limited (UBL), part of Heineken N.V., reinforcing the strong demand fundamentals underpinning this investment.

Crown continues to expect full-year 2026 capital expenditures of approximately $550 million.
