Beverage cans are, and will remain, the core of Novelis’ product portfolio. Working alongside our customers, we innovate to meet the ever-evolving preferences of consumers, whether for new shapes and sizes, alternative coatings or more. For example, Novelis is working closely with customers to develop and produce distinctive aluminum bottles, which offer the same portability, light weight and recyclability as aluminum cans, but with the added benefit of being re-closeable. In addition, Novelis is also working on technology to support our customers seeking to meet consumer demand for sustainable packaging for new beverage categories.

When it comes to research and technology, aluminum cans and bottles are the subject of ongoing technical refinement and innovation at Novelis​, from highly formable alloys, to safe and sustainable can sheet coating technologies, to greater manufacturing efficiencies and process capabilities.

Our team delivers industry-leading technical expertise and innovative solutions via our applied technology labs around the world. Novelis’ Global Research and Technology Center in Kennesaw, Georgia offers customers cutting edge resources, including a true-to-scale beverage can pilot line, for testing customized packaging solutions and more efficient manufacturing processes.
