Sidnee’s Homemade Lemonade and Simply Soupreme are the lucky start-ups awarded with free bottle closures and insights into their businesses in this second annual competition hosted by Silgan. According to A.J. Miller, Director of Marketing for Silgan Closures, the Free Closures for a Year (FCFY) contest was initiated to promote Silgan’s stock closure program while giving fledgling brands a hand-up with their ventures. “The stock closure program caters to start-ups because it lets them purchase small/case quantities of closures,” he says. “We came up with FCFY because we recognized that start-ups tend to struggle with credit and the ability to purchase ingredients and packaging as well as pay for a co-packer before they start selling products. The contest is intended to make it a little easier for them.”
