Nampak is evolving into a focused metals packaging business. With manufacturing facilities in South Africa and Angola, we supply trusted products and excellent service to a broad range of customers. We are a publicly owned entity whose shares have been listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange for 56 years.
Our business going forward will be focused on producing aluminium and tinplate cans. In South Africa and Angola, we are the largest manufacturer of beverage cans. We have substantial positions in other metal packaging in South Africa and are the only producer of two-piece tinplate cans and aluminium monobloc aerosol cans in our home market. We are the sole manufacturer of beverage cans in Angola.
We promote the recyclability of our products and continue to reduce the weight of our products and, in so doing, their environmental impact.
Nampak has been positioned to be a high-quality, market-leading business with distinctive capabilities, operating in a defensive market segment with sustainable growth characteristics, underpinned by a blue-chip customer base.
