Aardagh delivers for King Oscar
2014 has ended very proudly with double success for King Oscar seafood can. The eye catching container was recently honoured at the Canmaker Summit in Hong Kong where the King Oscar Easy Peel lid from Ardagh won Silver in the Ends, Caps & Closures category.
At one of Europe's most prestigious packaging awards, King Oscar shared a name with the award title. At the Oscar de l'Emballage 2014, the aluminium can produced by Ardagh for the Norwegian seafood firm King Oscar, claimed an Oscar for best product in metal.
The jury was particularly impressed with Ardagh's Easy Peel aluminium opening solution that gives the consumer an easy and quicker means of opening the can while significantly reducing any risk of spatter. Also praised were the weight reduction, 50 per cent lighter than a standard end, its safety with no sharp edges to contend with, and its role in rejuvenating the club mackerel can category.
Patrick Savouré, Commercial Director Seafood at Ardagh Group's metal division, was absolutely delighted with these latest achievements, adding: " The awards demonstrate that striking design and excellent functionality are a perfect combination."
