Crown Holdings, Inc.

A maker of the metal cans, bottle caps, and packaging that hold your favorite drinks, Crown Holdings produces beverage cans and transit packaging used by major global drink brands. It was founded in 1892 in Baltimore when inventor William Painter patented the "crown cork"—the familiar crimped metal bottle cap that seals fizzy drinks—and its name honors that corrugated, crown-shaped design. Today the company still carries the legacy of Painter's little invention across the globe.
