Nashua, NH – Can-One USA recently hosted its opening event at the revitalized factory space on 141 Burke Street in Nashua. Executives from The Kane Company and PROCON, along with state and city officials, gave their remarks to a select group of 70 guests. Attendees then toured the 180,000sf facility.
The new state-of-the-art plant is designed to meet the industry’s growing demand for high-quality, convenient, and sustainable beverage packaging. Offering various products, including 16-ounce and 12-ounce formats, Can-One USA’s infinitely recyclable aluminum cans are used across beverage categories including beer, soft drinks, sparkling waters, juices, and other functional drinks.

Alvin Widitora, general manager at Can-One USA, said, “As a global leader in manufacturing, the company saw North America – particularly New England – as a market with tremendous opportunity. By establishing the first Can-One USA facility here in New Hampshire, we now service clients throughout the greater New England region and beyond. We are proud to contribute to the growth of our local economy and to provide clients with a reliable supply partner so close to their points of use.”
Michael Kane, CEO of The Kane Company, developer of the Can-One USA property, said, “Four billion canned beverages are produced in New England each year. If beverage companies in Boston manufacture and transport cans from Nashua (50 miles away) instead of options that are over 300 miles away, they can eliminate roughly 7.5 million pounds of CO2 annually. The sustainability aspects and cost savings of establishing operations in southern New Hampshire add to the growing list of compelling reasons to do business here.”

With more than 100 employees, Can-One USA plans to double its personnel and reach production outputs of more than 2 billion aluminum beverage cans annually. Can-One USA has invested tens of millions of dollars in property and construction costs alone, with plans underway to further expand the plant. The company also plans to build facilities in additional markets.
“We are thrilled to celebrate the opening of Can-One USA’s new manufacturing facility here in Nashua, N.H. This milestone is not just a testament to the growth and expansion of Can-One USA, but also to the thriving industrial community in Nashua,” said John Stebbins, CEO of PROCON. “As a company committed to innovative design and construction, PROCON is proud to have played a pivotal role in bringing this project to life. The new facility stands as a beacon of progress and potential, promising to boost local employment and contribute significantly to the regional economy. We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Can-One USA and contributing further to our community’s economic development.”
