About us: The can with the cloverleaf since 1875
Julius Kleemann GmbH & Co. KG is a family-owned company in its fourth generation and has been producing metal packaging made of tinplate since 1875. The product range includes food cans (seam-lid cans) for the food industry, beverage cans with filling volumes of 2, 3 and 5 litres, clinch-lid cans and pails as well as ring cans and pails for the chemical-technical industry. Its competitiveness is based on fully integrated value creation: from the steel coil to the finished, printed can, the entire production takes place at the Karlstein am Main site. In addition, there is in-house lithography with CTP printing plate production and colour-binding proofs, an in-house printing plant, tool design in 3D-CAD (Solid Works), product development, and a service for seaming machines including maintenance and overhaul. Own warehousing enables just-in-time deliveries. The family business employs 130 staff and supplies the beverage, food and chemical-technical industries.
