Rexam is to invest £78m in a new greenfield aluminium beverage can plant in Fredericia, Denmark.
Rexam expects the new facility, which will be the first of its kind in the country, to be operational during the first half of 2009.
It will initially operate two production lines with a total capacity of 1.2 billion 33cl and 50cl cans.
Rexam said the sustainable qualities of the beverage can were driving sales in Denmark.
Tomas Sjolin, Rexam's director of beverage can for Europe and Asia, said cans had accounted for 20% of beer sales in Denmark since they were reintroduced in 2002.
Rexam also continues to review its options after its acquisition of Russian beverage can maker Rostar was rejected by the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) in September.
Further announcements from Rexam are expected in "due course".
