Jumex Chooses CAP CAN® Resealable Closures for New Premium Citrus Drinks

DAYTON, OHIO--Dayton Systems Group announces the sale of two full production lines for their new CAP CAN® resealable can closures to Groupo Jumex of Mexico.

Dayton Systems Group first introduced their new CAP CAN resealable can closures in April 2001 at the Cannex Show in Denver, Colorado and generated substantial interest in the product concept. Mr. Eugenio Lopez, President of Jumex, liked the CAP CAN product at the show and believed a convenient resealable can closure was exactly what he needed for his company's new premium citrus line.

"We were very interested in Dayton Systems Group's CAP CAN closures," said Mr. Lopez, "but we wanted to be sure it was the best solution for us. We spent the next two years testing other approaches to a resealable can and concluded that the CAP CAN solution was perfect for our operation. It meets or exceeds our specifications and DSG's ability to design and build reliable, high-volume production lines pretty well closed the deal for us."

The new production lines will have a capacity of 440 million CAP CAN closures per year and are scheduled for completion in late 2005. The lines will produce 211 and 202 diameter closures for shaped steel cans.

"We are delighted to be working with a visionary company like Jumex," said Hank Bachmann, President of Dayton Systems Group. "They quickly understood the added value CAP CAN closures could bring to their premium citrus drinks. We are confident that the new product line will be an unqualified success in the market place."
