CMI Mission & Goals
The Can Manufacturers Institute’s mission is to represent its members’ interests before state and federal
legislative and regulatory bodies. Additionally, CMI provides members with market development programs
within the parameters of anti-trust law. To fulfill these tasks in 2008, CMI strengthened its commitment to
the following goals:
// 1 // 2 // 3 // 4
To provide the industry with effective
representation in Congressional
and Administrative policymaking on
those issues with specific impact on
or important to the overall success
of the can making industry.
To promote the industry with trade,
local and national media and within
state and local governments by
publicizing overall can benefits and
industry achievements.
To collect and disseminate
industry statistics to provide
an accurate assessment of the
industry’s production and to
collect and analyze consumer
market information to promote
the growth and economic welfare
of CMI’s members.
To serve, on an as needed basis,
as a facilitation resource for the
