Redundancy notices have been issued to the entire workforce at the Crown plant in Worcester.
The firm confirmed the decision this week following a 90-day consultation process which began in January.
The Worcester site, which is one of four the firm run in the UK, produces two piece and three piece cans and ends for the food market.
Decline in sales
Crown said that changes within the food packaging sector have caused a consistent decline in sales. It also said that supply across the four sites exceeded demand and restructuring needed to be looked at with 116 people employed at the site.
A Crown spokesman said: "We can confirm redundancy notices?were served on Monday 15 April?with an expected end production date of the 7th July. We would like to recognise the professional attitude of all the employees and union representatives throughout the consultation process."
The site was formally owned by Metal Box which Crown Holdings, or Crown Cork and Seal as it was then known, acquired in 1996.
In a statement announcing the initial review process earlier this year, the metal packaging firm said it was part of a wider review of the UK and Ireland manufacturing and business support facilities.
"To protect the future of the wider business and its employees, we therefore need to consider proposals for restructuring."
Crown also operates aluminium and metal UK food packaging sites in Braunstone, Neath and Wisbech, which form part of the Crown Holdings portfolio which includes 134 manufacturing facilities in 41 countries with 2011 net sales of $8.6bn.
