One-Year Production Celebration at Can-One USA
Editor’s note (October 6, 2025): We’re sharing this recap a few months after the event to highlight key takeaways and thank everyone who made our first year possible.
August 1, 2025 · Nashua, NH
On August 1, 2025, we celebrated one year of production at our Nashua facility, an incredible milestone made possible by our team, customers, and community partners. We were honored to welcome several special guests, including Founder and Owner Jin Hoe Yeoh, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte, Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess, and Daniel Heying, attending on behalf of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Their presence underscored the importance of American manufacturing and the momentum we’re building here in New Hampshire.
The evening brought together employees across operations, quality, and customer service; customers and supplier partners from the region; and local leaders who share our vision for innovation in sustainable aluminum packaging. Tours and conversations spanned from can decorating and print quality, lead-time planning, and the role of local sourcing in reducing freight miles while improving responsiveness for our partners. Guests saw firsthand how proximity to our customers enables faster decision-making, tighter feedback loops, and the ability to pilot new formats without the risk of overbuying.
In the spirit of community, we also highlighted two organizations creating meaningful impact in Greater Nashua. End 68 Hours of Hunger provides weekend food bags to students who rely on free school meals, helping bridge the gap between Friday and Monday, and Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter that offers compassionate food assistance and emergency shelter services for neighbors in need. We’re proud to support both missions and encourage others to get involved through volunteerism, donations, or corporate partnerships.
As we reflect on the past year, we’re grateful for the creativity and grit that brought us here, and excited for what’s ahead. Thank you to everyone who joined us to mark this milestone and to those who cheer us on every day. Here’s to another year of growth, partnership, and bold ideas in Nashua. Together, we can keep building a more resilient, responsive, and sustainable packaging supply chain for the region and beyond.
