Metal Food Containers
Our metal food container business is engaged in the manufacture and sale of steel and aluminum containers that are used primarily by processors and packagers for food products, such as soup, vegetables, fruit, meat, tomato based products, coffee, seafood, adult nutritional drinks, pet food and other miscellaneous food products. We estimate that approximately 90% of our projected metal food container sales in 2010 will be pursuant to multi-year customer supply arrangements, including agreements with Nestle, Campbell and several other major food processors.
For 2009, our metal food container business had net sales of $1.92 billion. We are the largest manufacturer of metal food containers in North America, with a unit volume market share in the United States of approximately half of the market in 2009.
