(Reuters) - Rexam Plc (L:REX), the world's second largest beverage-can maker in terms of revenue, said overall results in the first-quarter were in line with its expectations.
The company, which makes aluminium cans for Coca-Cola, Red Bull, Carlsberg beer and Heineken (AS:HEIN), said it was feeling the effects of a strong sterling and high metal premiums but it expected to make progress on a constant currency basis.
Shares in the FTSE-100 component closed at 510 pence on Wednesday on the London Stock Exchange.
