A person who manufactures or produces metal cans, typically for food and beverage storage.
A compound word formed from 'can' (a metal container) and 'maker' (one who makes things). The word emerged during the Industrial Revolution as canning became a major industry.
Canmakers were crucial to feeding growing cities—before modern canning, fresh food spoiled quickly, but cans could preserve meals for months, literally changing how civilization worked.
