History
The company was started in 1892 when William
Painter invented the "crown cork" used to seal soda
and beer bottles. He would soon start the Crown, Cork and Seal
company in Baltimore. The company would move its headquarters
to Philadelphia in 1958.
The company would grow as the market for
soft drink cans and aerosol cans would increase dramatically
around the world.
In 2002, Crown completes the sale of 89.5%
of its shares in Constar through its Initial Public Offering
by Constar.
In 2003, Crown completes a $3.2 billion
refinancing plan and forms Crown Holdings, Inc. as a new public
holding company.
