1.  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed unaudited  consolidated financial statements of
Silgan Corporation  ("Silgan"  or  the "Company")  have  been  prepared in
accordance with  Rule  10-01  of Regulation  S-X  and,  therefore,  do not
include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position,  results of  operations and  cash flows  in conformity
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles.   All  adjustments  of a
normal recurring nature  have been  made, including  appropriate estimates
for reserves and  provisions which are  normally determined  or settled at
year end.    In the  opinion  of the  Company,  however,  the accompanying
financial statements  contain  all  adjustments  (consisting  solely  of a
normal recurring nature)  necessary to  present fairly  Silgan's financial
position as of March 31, 1995 and 1994  and December 31, 1994, the results
of operations for the three months ended March  31, 1995 and 1994, and the
statements of cash  flows for  the three months  ended March  31, 1995 and
1994.

While the Company believes that the  disclosures presented are adequate to
make the information not misleading, it  is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with  the financial statements and notes
included in  Silgan's  Annual  Report on  Form  10-K  for  the  year ended
December 31, 1994.

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company extended the estimated useful lives
of certain fixed assets  to more properly reflect  the true economic lives
of such assets  and to better  align the Company's  depreciable lives with
the predominate practice in  its industry.   The change had  the effect of
decreasing depreciation  expense for  the first  quarter  of 1995  by $1.5
million and increasing net income by $0.9 million.

                 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared with
Three Months Ended March 31, 1994

Summary results for the Company's two business segments, metal and plastic
containers, for  the  three  months ended  March  31,  1995  and  1994 are
provided below.
                                                     March 31      
                                                 1995         1994
                                                   (In millions)
       Net sales:
          Metal containers & other             $144.7        $136.3
          Plastic containers                     58.6          50.0
            Consolidated                       $203.3        $186.3

       Operating profit:
          Metal containers & other             $ 15.9        $ 12.2
          Plastic containers                      4.3           2.0
          Corporate expense                      (0.6)         (0.1)
            Consolidated                       $ 19.6        $ 14.1


For interim  reporting  purposes,  the  accounting  period  for  the metal
container business ends on the last Friday of the month.  As a result, the
1995 operating results for  the metal container  business include activity
for six more days  than in 1994, which  had the effect  of increasing both
sales and income for this segment.   The accounting period for the plastic
container business ends on  the last day of  each month, and, accordingly,
it reported activity for the same period in both 1995 and 1994.

Consolidated net sales increased $17.0 million, or 9.1%, to $203.3 million
for the three months ended  March 31, 1995, as  compared to $186.3 million
for the same period in  1994.  This increase  resulted from the generation
of greater  sales  by  the  plastic  container  business,  along  with the
additional sales realized by  the metal container business  because of its
longer reporting period.<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Net sales for  the metal  container business (including  paper containers)
were $144.7 million for the three  months ended March 31,1995, an increase
of $8.4  million (6.2%)  over net  sales  of $136.3  million for  the same
period in 1994. As compared to  the first three months  of the prior year,
net sales of metal cans increased $9.3  million (6.5%) for the first three
months of  1995 due  to greater  unit volume.   Sales  to the  Nestle Food
Company ("Nestle") increased  $8.5 million (16.8%)  due to  an increase in
unit sales for most product lines of Nestle's business, while sales to Del
Monte Corporation ("Del Monte") were $4.7 million (13.2%) higher than 1994
because first  quarter  1994  sales  were  reduced  to  adjust  for excess
finished goods inventory  acquired upon the  purchase in  December 1993 of
Del Monte's  container manufacturing  business in  the United  States ("DM
Can").  Sales to other customers decreased $3.9 million (8.2%) principally
due to  the  earlier  shipment of  containers  to  certain  vegetable pack
customers in  1994.   Sales  of  paper containers  included  in  the metal
container segment declined $0.9 million to $2.1 million during 1995.

Net sales for the  plastic container business of  $58.6 million during the
three months ended March  31, 1995 increased $8.6  million, or 17.2%, over
net sales of plastic  containers of $50.0  million for the  same period in
1994.  This increase was attributable  to both higher average sales prices
due to the pass through of higher resin  costs and increased unit sales to
new and existing customers.

Cost of goods  sold was 85.7%  of consolidated net  sales ($174.3 million)
for the three months  ended March 31,  1995, a decrease  of 2.1 percentage
points, as compared  to 87.8% of  consolidated net  sales ($163.5 million)
for the same  period in 1994.   The  decrease in cost  of goods  sold as a
percentage of consolidated net  sales principally resulted  from lower per
unit manufacturing costs realized on higher  sales and production volumes,
improved manufacturing efficiencies resulting  from capital investment and
the incurrance of lower depreciation expense.

Selling,  general  and   administrative  expenses   as  a   percentage  of
consolidated net sales were 4.6%  of net sales for  the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994.  The increase of $0.8 million in selling, general
and administrative expenses for the first three months of 1995 as compared
to  the  same   period  in   the  prior   year  resulted   from  increased
administrative requirements associated with  DM Can.  The  Company did not
fully staff for DM Can until after the first quarter of 1994.<PAGE>

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Income from operations as a percentage of consolidated net sales increased
2.0 percentage points to 9.6%  ($19.6 million) for the  three months ended
March 31, 1995, compared with 7.6% ($14.1  million) for the same period in
1994.  The increase in income from operations as a percentage of sales was
attributable to the aforementioned improvement in gross margin.

Income from  operations  as  a  percentage  of  net  sales  for  the metal
container  business  increased  2.1  percentage  points  to  11.0%  ($15.9
million) during the first  three months of  1995, as compared  to the same
period in the prior year, principally  due to lower per unit manufacturing
costs  realized  on   greater  unit  volume   and  improved  manufacturing
efficiency as a result of capital investment.  Income from operations as a
percentage of net sales attributable to the plastic container business for
the three months ended March 31, 1995 was 7.3% ($4.3 million), as compared
to 4.1%  ($2.0  million)  for  the same  period  in  1994.    The improved
operating performance  of  the plastic  container  business  resulted from
improved manufacturing efficiency and from increased unit volume.

Interest expense increased by  approximately $1.0 million  to $9.4 million
for the three  months ended  March 31, 1995.   The  increase resulted from
higher  average  borrowing  rates  offset,  in   part,  by  lower  average
outstanding borrowings.

The provision for income taxes  for the three months  ended March 31, 1995
and 1994 provide for  federal, state and  foreign taxes as  if the Company
were a  separate  taxpayer  in  accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

As a result of the items discussed above,  net income for the three months
ended March  31, 1995  was $5.8  million,  $2.4 million  greater  than net
income for the three months ended March 31, 1994 of $3.4 million.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The Company's liquidity requirements arise  primarily from its obligations
under the indebtedness  incurred in  connection with its  acquisitions and
the refinancing  of  such  indebtedness,  capital  investment  in  new and
existing equipment  and  the  funding of  the  Company's  seasonal working
capital  needs.    Historically,  the  Company  has  met  these  liquidity
requirements through  cash flow  generated from  operating  activities and
working capital borrowings.<PAGE>


                                                               Page 9 of 11
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY (continued)

For the first three  months of 1995, capital  expenditures of $8.3 million
and the repayment of  $2.5 million of  term loans were  funded through the
borrowing of $2.6  million of  working capital  loans, cash  provided from
operations of $3.7  million, proceeds  of $3.2  million realized  from the
sale of assets, and the use of  $1.3 million of outstanding cash balances.
The  Company's   earnings   before  depreciation,   interest,   taxes  and
amortization for the three  months ended March 31,  1995 increased by $4.7
million over the same period in the prior year to $28.8 million.  However,
cash provided by operations during the first three months of 1995 declined
slightly from the same period in 1994 because there was a greater increase
in working capital needs in 1995.  During  the first three months of 1995,
working capital needs increased due to  increased accounts receivable as a
result of  greater sales  and increased  inventories  as a  result  of the
planned 1995 acceleration of finished goods production.

Because the Company  sells metal  containers used  in vegetable  and fruit
processing, its  sales  are  seasonal.  As  is  common  in  the  packaging
industry, the Company must  access working capital to  build inventory and
then carry accounts  receivable for some  customers beyond the  end of the
summer and fall packing  season.  Seasonal accounts  are generally settled
by year  end.   Due to  the Company's  seasonal requirements,  the Company
incurs  short   term   indebtedness  to   finance   its   working  capital
requirements, and it is  expected that approximately $40.0  million of the
Company's working capital revolver,  including letters of  credit, will be
utilized at its peak in July 1995.

As of March 31, 1995, the  outstanding principal amount of working  capital
loans was $15.2  million and, subject  to a borrowing  base limitation  and
taking into account outstanding  letters of credit,  the unused portion  of
working capital commitments at such date was $49.1 million.<PAGE>
