JSE-listed rolled aluminium products manufacturer Hulamin has completed the final, and most critical, phase of its R500-million capital investment to enhance its canbody stream capacity and capability.

This final phase, which was the widening of the cold rolling mill, was undertaken during a 25-day integrated plant shutdown in July.

The investment, which Hulamin initiated in 2022 as part of a strategic reset, aims to capitalise on the growing demand for locally produced cans by reducing reliance on imports and enabling local can makers to improve production efficiencies.

The core of the strategy was to upgrade the plant's capacity and capability to produce wide-width canbody coils, which are currently imported, the company notes.

The investment was structured into three phases, with Phases 1 and 2 successfully completed in 2024.

“Our immediate focus for the remainder of 2025 is to complete product qualification with key customers and achieve commercial readiness by the end of first quarter of 2026,” the company says.

The completion of the project marks a significant step forward in Hulamin's long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the local and regional can market.
