Jiyuan Holdings Co., Ltd., a leading metal packaging manufacturer based in China, is seeing continued success in diversifying its customer base for two-piece aluminum cans. What began as a strategic move into the beer and carbonated beverage segment has now expanded into the fast-growing fruit granule drink category, further strengthening the company’s position as a preferred packaging partner for premium food and beverage brands.

Since its first aluminum can production line came online at Guangdong Jiduobao in 2016, Jiyuan Holdings has ramped up its annual aluminum can capacity to over 2 billion units. The company’s advanced manufacturing equipment, imported from Europe, Japan, and the United States, ensures consistent quality, high-speed output, and compliance with international food safety standards.

A Growing Premium Customer Portfolio

Jiyuan Holdings’ two-piece aluminum cans have long been trusted by established names such as Kirin Beer for their beverage packaging needs. The lightweight, recyclable, and high-barrier properties of aluminum cans make them ideal for preserving flavor and extending shelf life – critical factors for beer and carbonated soft drinks.

In recent years, the company has successfully entered the fruit granule drink segment, a popular and rapidly expanding category in China’s domestic market. One notable customer is Pukou Fruit Granule Drink, a brand known for its juice beverages containing real fruit particles. The shift from traditional bottle packaging to aluminum cans offers enhanced portability, better protection against light and oxygen, and a modern shelf presence that appeals to younger consumers.

“Our aluminum cans are no longer just for beer and sodas,” said a senior representative from Jiyuan Holdings. “We are proud to support innovative beverage brands like Pukou, as well as other leaders in the fruit drink space. This demonstrates the versatility and reliability of our two-piece can technology.”

Meeting Market Demand with Scale and Sustainability

With production bases in Fujian, Hubei, Anhui, and Guangdong, Jiyuan Holdings maintains a flexible and responsive supply chain. The Guangdong facility, in particular, has been operating at high capacity to meet seasonal peaks in beverage demand, from summer beer consumption to year-round fruit drink sales.

Sustainability is another key driver behind the growing adoption of aluminum cans. As China pursues its carbon peaking and neutrality goals, lightweight and highly recyclable aluminum packaging is gaining favor among both brand owners and environmentally conscious consumers. Jiyuan Holdings has invested in green manufacturing processes and promotes the circular economy benefits of aluminum cans, which can be recycled repeatedly without loss of quality.

Outlook: Continued Expansion into New Categories

Looking ahead, Jiyuan Holdings plans to further diversify its aluminum can applications, including ready-to-drink tea, functional beverages, and energy drinks. The company is also exploring customized can sizes, advanced printing finishes, and easy-open ends to meet the evolving needs of premium brands.

With a track record of serving clients such as COFCO, JDB, Nestlé Coffee, Yinlu, Dali Foods, and more – now joined by a growing list of specialty beverage innovators – Jiyuan Holdings is poised to remain a dominant force in China’s metal packaging industry.

“From beer to fruit granule drinks and beyond, our mission is to deliver packaging solutions that help our customers stand out on the shelf and succeed in the market,” the representative added. “We are just getting started.”
