Monday, 13 April, 2026
Welcome to our latest podcast on Young Packaging for Future Generations: Building Can-Making Skills at Ohio State We interview Domingo Gonzalez from Better Cans LLC, about the “Young Packaging for Future Generations” seminar, created to build foundational knowledge in two-piece aluminium beverage can making amid retirements and potential knowledge loss in the industry. Run with Ohio State University and major industry suppliers and OEMs, the pilot seminar took place last August in Columbus, Ohio at the Food Science and Technology Department, delivering 14 lectures over two days to about 60 attendees including can makers, users, co-packers, distributors, and OSU PhD students. This year’s edition taking place on April 14–15 spring session repeats the 14 lectures with improvements and adds sessions on packaging safety and FDA compliance, flanging and inside reforming, and a general overview of the canmaking and beverage industry. Domingo emphasizes the venue as a neutral ground open to competitors and explains his 27+ years’ experience across the supply chain as motivation to leave a legacy.
