The company produces customised containers from packaging steel on metal offset printing and tin can production lines. Its main product groups are cheese tins, tins for liquid oils such as sunflower and olive oil, olive and pickle tins, and containers for the thinner, antifreeze, lubricant and paint sectors. A food safety policy is applied for food-grade production, and the supply and storage of packaging steel, offset printing and screen printing are also among its activities.

For metal packaging makers, tinplate and packaging steel prices, the annual course of dairy production and of the olive and olive oil harvest, food producers' export performance and energy expenses are the decisive factors.
