The machine behind the brand –

There are many destinations in Germany that tourists savor as »must do’s« on their travel itinerary. Visiting the office headquarters of a supplier is not normally high on the priority list. But this is not the case if the offices your visiting is that of Montana-Cans.

↑ Every product has its origin. Often not looking anything like the final product on the shelves, in store. ↓ Compromise is not an option.There can be hundreds of formula’s for any given product before it ever comes to market.

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes at Montana-Cans before any product ever reaches the end-users. In a picturesque quaint little city tucked away in the valleys spanning around the Neckar river, Heidelberg is where the head office is located and happens to be the original town where Montana-Cans came to life. In a historic residence in a tree-lined street, here the thinktank behind the brand Montana-Cans takes care of daily business and looks after customers with direct and personal service all over the world. At second glance, it is obvious that this is not where the manufacturing magic happens. But the factory is only a short ride away by train or car with the Neckar river flowing gracefully aside you, through the green valleys and hills which stretch as far as the eye can see. Upon arrival at the main production site in the peaceful little Oden-Wald town of Haßmersheim, within seconds it is noticeable of the proud relationship between parent company Motip Dupli and daughter company, Montana-Cans. Artworks and photographs of all Montana orientations are strewn throughout the complexes buildings and offices.

Heidelberg is actually one of Germany’s humming graffiti and creative hubs and the original town of which Montana-Cans was born
