Most companies don't make the plastic containers used to package their products; rather, they turn to companies like Silgan Plastics to design and manufacture whatever packaging they desire. A subsidiary of Silgan Holdings, Silgan Plastics serves customers from the food and beverage, health and pharmaceutical, cosmetics and toiletry, household, automotive, marine, agricultural, and industrial products markets. To suit its diverse group of customers, Silgan offers more than 1,200 different bottles, jars, tubes, food containers, and closures, which it manufactures at some two dozen US and Canadian facilities. It also provides engineering and creative design services through its commercial development center.
