'''Crown has a long history of leading the industry with innovative packaging technology.'''<br>

It is where we started in 1892 when our founder, William Painter, invented a better way to package soft drinks and beer. Painter's vision revolutionized the bottling industry. His ingenuity, and the leadership of those who came after him, helped to build Crown Holdings, Inc. into the world-class company it is today.

It is no wonder that, after over 100 years of growth and diversification, innovation has remained at the core of what we do every day. From that first ‘crown cork’ to our ground-breaking 360 End® beverage end to today's advanced shaping technology, Crown has led the way.<br>
