LET’S GET STARTED
Where can we help?
Metal Preparation
Sensors for every step of metal preparation: coil cutting, sheet length measurement, and lacquer thickness control through coil lacquering and printing inspection.
Metal Forming
Inspection and control sensors for every can format you form: 3-piece welded cans, aerosols, caps and closures, crown corks, DRD cans, drums and pails, ends, and tubes
Quality Assurance
Inspection and evaluation systems for quality control of metal packaging products — flat sheets, formed cans, tubes and aerosols, foil, ends, and gauges — so every can leaving your line meets customer standards.

Tour
Innovative Sensors for Metal Packaging
Founded in 2012 and built on more than 40 years of hands-on metal packaging expertise, Innosen develops and manufactures sensors and quality assurance systems for the canmaking industry. From our headquarters in Premià de Mar (Barcelona), Spain and manufacturing in Manila, we equip canmakers around the world with reliable equipment to minimize downtime and maximize production efficiency — every day, in 70+ countries.
We Value What our Customers Value
Our history is rooted in close collaboration with canmakers, crafting tailored solutions that address real-world challenges. Many of our top sensors result directly from these partnerships, designed with canmakers for canmakers.
3-Piece (Welded) Canmaking Process
“Production does not mean just making loads of cans. They need to be cans that your customers are willing to accept – Willing to pay for.”
Luc Nelen | Managing Director, Innosen

Missing Lacquer on Coated Sheets: 3 Causes and How to Detect Them
Overlapped sheets, lacquer starvation and contamination each leave a different missing lacquer pattern. Here is how many sensors you need to detect them.
How to Maximize Your Coating Line Speed
Raising coating line speed is one of the fastest ways to add output and profit. This step-by-step process shows how to use IS416 sheet skew statistics to increase speed safely, batch by batch.
Aluminum vs. Tinplate: What’s the Difference in Metal Packaging?
Aluminum is light and highly formable, so it dominates beverage cans, aerosols and tubes. Tinplate is tin-coated steel: stiffer and stronger, and the standard for food, paint and chemical cans. Compare weight, corrosion, recycling, cost and uses, and why both depend on the internal coating.
