Report Coverage

This report focuses on the manufacture of metal containers which includes cans, drums and closures. It describes the size and state of the industry and the factors influencing its success including global innovation which will influence the sector’s future developments. The report contains comprehensive profiles of eight companies including Nampak, whose Divfood and Bevcan units are major industry players, and competitor Gayatri, as well as Greif and Rheem, the major players in the steel drum sector.

Manufacture of Metal Containers

The metal packaging sector, which is valued at approximately R5.9bn per annum, accounts for 9.2% of the South African packaging market. Demand for packaging products was subdued in 2018 as a poor economy, joblessness and an increase in VAT, fuel, electricity and other prices put pressure on consumers’ disposable income. The metal packaging sector continues to have the highest recycling rate of all packaging, with almost 76% of all metal packaging in South Africa being recovered.

Volume and Revenue Pressure

Nampak’s metal packaging revenue declined from R11.3bn in 2017 to R11.1bn in 2018 as consumer demand declined and as competitive pressure mounted, although its food canning business recorded sales volumes and profitability increases. While the industry is being affected by economic pressures, the excellent recovery and recycling rate of metal containers place the sector well to benefit from the move to reduce plastic usage, and the sector continues to innovate to take advantage of the trend.

Report Coverage

The Manufacture of Metal Containers describes current conditions in the local sector and factors influencing the success of the industry. The report profiles 12 companies active in the manufacturing sector, including market leader Nampak and its two metal container divisions: Bevcan, the largest manufacturer of beverage cans; and Foodcan, the largest manufacturer of general line cans. Also profiled are SME, In Can Man (Pty) Ltd which manufactures 25 million cans per annum and Gauteng-based Coleus Packaging (Pty) Ltd which manufactures 7 billion crowns a year in South Africa and 1 billion a year with its joint venture partner in Uganda.

The Manufacture of Metal Containers

This report focuses on the manufacture of all types of metal containers, a sector that is valued at an estimated R5.57bn per annum. Companies in the South African metal packaging industry supply cans, pails and drums in a variety of shapes and sizes to a variety of markets and end-users. As with most domestic manufacturing sectors, this industry has to compete with cheap Chinese imports of containers as well as the steel and aluminium required for manufacture.

Challenges and Opportunities

With the weak economy and a struggling local manufacturing industry, companies such as Rheem South Africa and multinational Greif are looking at the rest of the continent for growth opportunities. However, opportunities do exist locally. In September 2015 Nigerian aluminium beverage can maker GZ Industries and South Africa’s Golden Era Packaging entered into a R1bn joint venture to set up a 1.2 billion can a year manufacturing plant. The new company, Gayatri GZI Beverage Cans is expected to commence operations during 2016. Increasing overall demand in the beverage can sector has been accompanied by a growing demand for aluminium cans. In response, role players Nampak, aluminium producer, Hulamin and the two largest users of cans, South African Breweries (SAB) and Coca-Cola Southern Africa, have spent more than R1bn converting their production lines to aluminium.
