The History of Steel cans

Did you know!!!

• The tin canning process was allegedly developed by Frenchman Philipee de Girard, who came to London and used British merchant Peter Durand as an agent to patent his own idea in 1810.
• In 1812 he sold his patent to two Englishmen, Bryan Donkin and John Hall, who refined the process and product, and set up the world's first commercial canning factory on Southwark Park Road, London, and by 1813 were producing their first canned goods for the Royal Navy.
• In 1901, the American Can Company was founded which, at the time, produced 90% of United States tin cans.
