Premium grade structural tinplate containers specifically engineered for maritime transport and tropical humidity resistance in the South Pacific.
Fiji operates as the primary economic hub and transport gateway of the South Pacific region. With an economy deeply rooted in marine resources and tropical agriculture, food processing is a vital driver of the country's GDP. The Pacific Fishing Company (PAFCO) in Levuka, alongside multiple local private enterprises in Suva and Lautoka, processes hundreds of thousands of tons of tuna, mackerel, coconut cream, and exotic tropical fruits annually for both local consumption and high-value export to Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and the European Union.
However, the equatorial oceanic climate of Fiji presents exceptional challenges for food preservation and packaging logistics. High humidity, elevated temperatures, and ambient salt air accelerate oxidation and rust in standard packaging. Furthermore, because Fiji lacks heavy domestic steel sheet production, the region relies entirely on imported, high-grade tinplate packaging. Importers and food processors in Fiji require three-piece cans that possess superior internal lacquering (to prevent sulfide staining from high-protein fish products) and robust external varnishes (to prevent rust during maritime storage and shipping).
Founded in 1992 and headquartered in the Fuzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, Sunrise Group Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 002752) is a diversified, publicly listed enterprise with over 33 years of deep experience in the metal packaging sector. We integrate metal packaging manufacturing, high-definition color printing, beverage filling, equipment research and development, and supply chain management into a cohesive, customer-focused system.
By establishing 31 advanced manufacturing bases across 28 cities in China and Southeast Asia (including Cambodia, Indonesia, and Vietnam), we have created a supply chain network that ensures high-volume supply security, quality consistency, and rapid global logistics. We serve top-tier global food and beverage brands like Red Bull and Coca-Cola, delivering billions of three-piece tinplate cans, two-piece aluminum cans, and custom aluminum bottles annually.
Providing custom, high-precision three-piece welded cans engineered to withstand aggressive biological properties of canned seafood and fruits.
For seafood, especially canned tuna and mackerel popular in Fiji, proteins release sulfur during heat processing. We apply custom organosol or epoxy-phenolic coatings to prevent the formation of dark iron sulfide, maintaining product presentation and shelf-life.
Utilizing high-precision Soudronic welding machinery, the longitudinal seam is securely bonded under uniform temperature control. This eliminates pinhole micro-leakage and ensures the package maintains full hermetic integrity during retort sterilization.
Exporting from China to Fiji involves sea transport across equatorial humidity zones. Our external varnish treatments are double-cured at 200°C to form a barrier against salt air and physical friction during shipping container transit.
From initial design to rapid high-volume filling, Sunrise Group provides a streamlined processing flow for food and beverage packers.

A delay in receiving metal cans can cause immediate spoilage of raw materials. Sunrise Group offers Fijian enterprises a highly resilient Chinese supply chain built to mitigate production interruptions.
1. Economies of Scale & Direct Sourcing: By purchasing raw hot-dipped tinplate coils directly from major steel mills (such as Baosteel and Shougang Steel), we bypass middle-tier trading markups. This ensures stable raw material supply and competitive pricing for food processors in Fiji.
2. Advanced Machinery Integration: Our factories use high-speed automated production lines equipped with Soudronic welders (Switzerland), Crabtree printing machines (UK), and Fuji coaters (Japan). This automation reduces scrap rates, increases precision, and keeps production schedules reliable.
3. Streamlined Port Logistics to Fiji: Our plants are located near major coastal ports like Fuzhou and Xiamen, allowing us to load containers directly and ship to Suva (Kings Wharf) and Lautoka Port. This close proximity reduces shipping times and minimizes inland transport costs.
Our production facilities maintain certifications that meet rigorous global standards, ensuring safety, hygiene, and compliance for export to the US, EU, Australia, and New Zealand.
