Rising to the challenge
Hello everyone. It is good to be back as interim editor of CanTech International. In case anyone doesn’t know I previously edited the title between 2009 and 2013 and thoroughly enjoyed my time working in the sector.
A lot has changed during my time away from the industry and developments in metal packaging continue at a rapid pace. In the UK we’re about to go into another national lockdown due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Although I’m hopeful that we won’t see a repeat of the panic buying scenes that the country witnessed before the first lockdown, demand for canned products will likely increase.
