Crown to Expand Presence in Turkey

Capacity Addition and New Beverage Can Plant to Support Customer Growth in Turkey

PHILADELPHIA, October 14, 2010 - Crown Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CCK) (www.crowncork.com), a leading
supplier of metal packaging products worldwide, announced today a major
expansion of its beverage can production capacity in Turkey. The investment
plan includes increasing capacity at the Company's existing two-line facility
in Izmit, near Istanbul, and the construction of a new manufacturing plant in
the Osmaniye region, in south-central Turkey.

The capacity addition at the Izmit plant will be complete in early 2011,
with the new Osmaniye plant due to be operational by early 2012. The new
plant will initially have one line producing aluminum cans and will be
designed to support additional production lines as future market needs
require. Located near the port of Mersin in the Mediterranean Sea, this new
investment will also provide a strong platform for exports to the surrounding
markets in the Middle East and North Africa.

The expansion program will add approximately 1 billion two-piece aluminum
cans per annum in 33cl and 50cl sizes, bringing Crown's total production
capacity in Turkey to approximately 2.5 billion beverage cans.

"With its growing population and its strategic location in the center of
Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey is one of Europe's most
promising beverage markets. Crown has almost 20 years of experience in
Turkey, and we are extremely pleased to be developing our capacity in this
market in line with the growing demands of our customers in the region," said
Chris Homfray, President Crown Europe.

Crown currently operates 14 beverage can plants in Europe, the Middle
East and North Africa.
