Roeslein opened the Shanghai location in 2011 with the purpose of supporting several canmaking facilities in the surrounding areas. Now, seven years later, Roeslein has the capacity to take on the full scope of canmaking projects and has grown its workforce by adding local engineers, marketing, and project management positions.
Shanghai’s level of expertise and experience has paralleled this growth making it home to several new major projects including the design-build of Greenfield can plants in Qingdao, China and H.C.M.C., Vietnam.
One of its most recent and notable projects has been the completion of Pakistan’s first ever can manufacturing plant for Pakistan Aluminum Beverage Cans Limited (PABC) in Islamabad. Roeslein was the chosen integrator for the project contributing engineering, fabrication, and construction to build and install a state of the art high speed line. With capacity of 700 mill cans per annum with potential to expand to 1.2 bill cans per year, the benefits from this plant are enormous for Pakistan. Before the project, one hundred percent of its aluminum cans were imported. Now, Pakistan is able to produce all of its own cans while also having to capacity to export to Afghanistan and neighboring markets; this lessens the cost of production dramatically for the beverage companies.
