Metal Packaging / Aerosol Cans

Shengyu Aerosol Packaging Co., Ltd.

Shanghai, China Established 2011 180–220 employees 180M cans / year
Assessed May 02, 2026 · Suggested next review Nov 2026
Active candidate
Operating substrate and audits on file. EU-side packaging of evidence and commercial setup are still in progress.
Two axes are at or above the suggested sector minimum: Buyer Trust (0.8 vs 0.6) and Circularity (0.5 vs 0.5). Four axes have items still in preparation: PPWR + PFAS documentation in regulatory; carbon disclosure pipeline; EU operational presence; and commercial-friction items (VAT/EORI, incoterm flexibility, landed-cost transparency). Sequencing matters — substantiating the EU-side legal anchor unlocks both supply resilience and several commercial-friction items in parallel.

Buyer Fit

Best For

  • Personal-care brands needing 45–65mm tinplate cans, 100K+ MOQ.
  • Buyers willing to bridge a 6-month readiness ramp for FOB advantage.
  • European fillers seeking a backup APAC source against existing EU suppliers.

Not a Fit

  • Buyers needing same-week DDP delivery (no EU stock today).
  • Food-contact aerosol applications outside cosmetics scope.
  • Buyers requiring CBAM scope-3 data delivered at quotation stage.

This supplier (current readiness)
Suggested sector benchmark (EU procurement, 2026 H2)
Regulatory Access Can the supplier be admitted compliantly into EU procurement?
0.2 / 1.0
Suggested benchmark: 0.8
On file
  • Food Contact certification (1935/2004/EC)
Open
  • PPWR Declaration of Conformity
  • PFAS-Free test report (< 50ppm)
Buyer read
Food-contact documentation is on file; PPWR and PFAS items are still in preparation. Best fit for buyers whose category does not require PPWR DoC at quotation stage.
Suggested next
Issue PPWR DoC via TÜV or SGS (suggested 2026 H2). Commission third-party PFAS-free testing in parallel. Combined uplift: +0.8 once both items are on file (food_contact already counted).
Carbon Readiness How prepared is the supplier to share emissions data when buyers ask?
0.0 / 1.0
Suggested benchmark: 0.6
Open
  • CBAM embedded-emissions actual data
  • Product LCA report (ISO 14067)
Buyer read
Carbon data package is not yet included in the current proof file. Best suited for buyers who do not require immediate CBAM-ready emissions disclosure at quotation stage.
Suggested next
Wire CBAM embedded-emissions data pipeline first (suggested by end 2026); commission ISO 14067 product LCA in 2027. Expected uplift: +0.6 once CBAM data is on file; +1.0 once LCA also delivered.
Circularity Does the product align with EU packaging-waste and circular-economy direction?
0.5 / 1.0
Suggested benchmark: 0.5
On file
  • Mono-material identification
Open
  • Recycled content (PCR) > 30%
  • Headspace / voidage control declaration
Buyer read
Mono-material can construction is on file. PCR content and headspace data should be confirmed for PPWR-sensitive applications.
Suggested next
Document PCR mass-balance with mill certificate. Add per-SKU voidage measurements to spec sheets. Combined uplift: +0.5 once both are documented.
Supply Resilience When the unexpected happens, will the supplier keep your line running?
0.0 / 1.0
Suggested benchmark: 0.5
Open
  • EU warehouse or EU local presence (operational, not legal)
  • Long-term raw-material supply or diversified sourcing
  • Commitment to 3–6 months EU buffer stock
Buyer read
Best fit for planned replenishment programs where FOB lead time is acceptable. Buyers needing same-week local delivery should align expectations during quotation.
Suggested next
Lease 3–6 month EU buffer warehouse (suggested for 2027). Document upstream tinplate sourcing (named mills, MOU or multi-source). Expected uplift: +0.6 with buffer warehouse + upstream documentation.
Buyer Trust Why should the buyer trust this counterparty?
0.8 / 1.0
Suggested benchmark: 0.6
On file
  • Operating ≥8 years with verifiable public business registration
  • Independent third-party audit on file (SEDEX / BSCI / SMETA / RBA / EcoVadis / ISO 9001+14001)
Open
  • EU legal recourse anchor (Authorized Rep, local entity, or EU counsel of record)
Buyer read
Operating substrate and independent audits are on file: 14 years registered, ISO 9001 + ISO 14001, SEDEX 4-pillar. EU legal recourse path should be confirmed before contracting.
Suggested next
Engage an EU Authorized Representative or register an EU local entity (jurisdiction TBD). Expected uplift: +0.2, completing the trust axis.
Commercial Friction How smooth is the actual transaction — total cost predictability and operational handling?
0.0 / 1.0
Suggested benchmark: 0.5
Open
  • EU VAT, EORI, or IOR (Importer of Record) setup
  • Incoterm flexibility (DDP / DAP / FOB)
  • Landed-cost transparency (duties, CBAM levy, freight, insurance line items)
  • EUR pricing with FX exposure handling
  • Reasonable prepayment / payment-term terms
Buyer read
Delivery model, landed-cost breakdown, payment terms, and EUR pricing should be confirmed during quotation.
Suggested next
Sequence: IOR partner contract (fastest, weeks) → DAP/DDP option pricing → published sample landed-cost calculator → EUR quoting with FX window. Each item moves the axis +0.15 to +0.30.

Action Path

Localize · Substantiate · Reduce friction
Suggested sequencing for the supplier. Each step is a target, not a regulatory deadline.
Suggested by 2026 H2 Items with the most direct impact on regulatory access and carbon disclosure readiness.
  • Issue PPWR Declaration of Conformity Regulatory Access
  • Commission PFAS-free testing (<50ppm) Regulatory Access
  • Renew Food Contact 1935/2004/EC certification Regulatory Access
Suggested by end 2026 Operational presence and commercial-friction reduction. Moves the supplier from 'non-EU' to 'EU-operable' in buyer systems.
  • Register an EU local legal entity (jurisdiction TBD per supplier) Buyer Trust
  • Obtain EU VAT + EORI (or contract IOR partner) Commercial Friction
  • Wire up CBAM embedded-emissions data pipeline Carbon Readiness
  • Publish sample landed-cost calculator (FOB → DDP transparency) Commercial Friction
Future window — 2027 Premium positioning. Unlocks higher-margin tenders and EU brand partnerships.
  • Lease EU buffer warehouse (3–6 month stock) Supply Resilience
  • Submit EcoVadis self-assessment Buyer Trust
  • Commission product LCA (ISO 14067) Carbon Readiness
