Item 1.  Business

General

     Silgan Holdings Inc. ("Holdings," and, together with its subsidiaries,
the "Company") is a Delaware corporation organized in April 1989, that, in
June 1989, through certain mergers acquired all of the outstanding common
stock of Silgan Corporation ("Silgan").  Holdings' principal asset is all of
the outstanding capital stock of Silgan.  Prior to June 30, 1989, Holdings
did not engage in any business.  Silgan is a Delaware corporation formed in
August 1987 as a holding company to acquire interests in various packaging
manufacturers.  See "Company History" below.

     The Company is a major manufacturer and seller of a broad range of steel
and aluminum containers for the food and pet food markets and plastic
containers for the personal care, food, pharmaceutical and household markets
in the United States.  In 1993, the Company had net sales of $645 million.  

     On December 21, 1993, Silgan's wholly owned subsidiary, Silgan
Containers Corporation ("Containers"), acquired from Del Monte Corporation
("Del Monte") substantially all of the fixed assets and certain working
capital of Del Monte's container manufacturing business in the United States
("DM Can") for approximately $73 million.  See "Company History" below.  In
connection therewith, Containers and Del Monte entered into a ten-year supply
agreement (the "DM Supply Agreement") pursuant to which Containers supplies
substantially all of the metal container requirements of Del Monte.  On a pro
forma basis giving effect to the acquisition of DM Can, in 1993 the Company
would have had net sales of $818 million.  See "Sales and Marketing" below.

     Management believes that the Company is the largest food can producer in


the United States (based on pro forma unit sales after giving effect to the
acquisition of DM Can) and one of the largest producers in the United States
of high density polyethylene ("HDPE") containers for the personal care market
and a major producer of custom polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") products
for the personal care and food markets.  Silgan has experienced significant
growth since its inception in 1987 as a result of its acquisitions and
related increased market position.

     Management estimates that Containers is currently the nation's largest
manufacturer of metal food containers and that in 1993 Containers sold
approximately 27% of all metal food containers sold in the United States by
non-captive manufacturers (manufacturers of containers not owned by a user of
containers) and approximately 16% of all metal food containers sold in the
United States, in each case based on unit sales.  On a pro forma basis giving
effect to the acquisition of DM Can, Containers would have sold approximately
34% of all metal food containers sold in the United States by non-captive
manufacturers and approximately 22% of all metal food containers sold in the
United States.  Although the food can industry in the United States is
relatively stable and mature in terms of unit sales growth, Containers, on a
pro forma basis after giving effect to the acquisition of DM Can, has
realized compound annual unit sales growth in excess of 12% since 1987. 
Types of containers manufactured include those for vegetables, fruit, pet
food, tomato based products, evaporated milk and infant formula.  Containers
has agreements (the "Nestle' Supply Agreements") with Nestle' Food Company
("Nestle'"), formerly known as The Carnation Company ("Carnation"), pursuant
to which Containers supplies substantially all of the can requirements of the
former Carnation operations of Nestle'.  In addition to the Nestle' Supply
Agreements and the DM Supply Agreement, Containers has other long-term supply
arrangements with other customers.  The Company estimates that in excess of
80% of Containers' sales in 1994 will be pursuant to long-term supply
arrangements.  See "Sales and Marketing" below.

     Management believes that Silgan's wholly owned subsidiary, Silgan
Plastics Corporation ("Plastics"), is one of the leading manufacturers of
plastic containers sold in the United States for the personal care, household
and pharmaceutical markets served by the Company.  Plastic containers
manufactured by Plastics include personal care containers for shampoos,
conditioners, hand creams, lotions and cosmetics, household containers for
light detergent liquids, scouring cleaners and specialty cleaning agents and
pharmaceutical containers for tablets, laxatives and eye cleaning solutions. 
Plastics is also one of the leading manufacturers of PET containers sold in
the United States for applications other than soft drinks.  Plastics
manufactures custom PET medicinal and health care product containers (such as
mouthwash bottles), custom narrow-neck food product containers (such as salad
dressing bottles), custom wide-mouth food product containers (such as
mayonnaise and peanut butter containers) and custom non-soft drink beverage
product containers (such as juice, water and liquor bottles).

     The Company's strategy is to continue to improve its market position and
profitability through focus on product quality, customer service, cost
efficiencies, strategic acquisitions and market share growth through
customers experiencing market share growth.  At Containers, management has
focused on achieving operating cost advantages over its competitors,
primarily through low labor costs, low overhead, technologically advanced
manufacturing processes and by exploiting the favorable geographic locations
of its 22 can plants.  Since its inception in 1987, Containers has invested
more than $82 million in its existing manufacturing facilities and has spent
approximately $66 million for the purchase of additional can manufacturing
assets.  As a result of these efforts and management's focus on quality and
service, Containers has increased its overall share of the food can market by
approximately 100% in terms of unit sales, from a share of approximately 11%
in 1987 to a share of approximately 22% in 1993, on a pro forma basis giving
effect to the acquisition of DM Can.

     Plastics has increased its market position primarily by strategic
acquisitions.  From a sales base of $89 million in 1987, Plastics' sales


increased to $186 million in 1993, or 13% on a compound annual basis.  While
many of Plastics' larger competitors employ technology oriented to large
bottles and long production runs, Plastics has focused on mid-sized,
extrusion blow-molded plastic containers requiring special decoration and
shorter production runs.  Plastics emphasizes value-added fabrication of the
container, creative design and sophisticated decoration processes.  Plastics
is also aggressively pursuing new markets for plastic containers, including
the post-consumer recycled ("PCR") resin segment of the market.  Based upon
published information and management's experience in the industry, management
believes that PET custom containers are replacing glass containers for
products such as mouthwash, salad dressing, peanut butter and liquor. 
Management also believes that Plastics is well positioned because of its
technologically advanced equipment to respond to opportunities for future
growth in the rigid plastic container market.  Furthermore, to the extent
that mandatory recycling laws, customer preferences or manufacturing costs
result in increased demand for HDPE containers that are manufactured using
PCR resins, the Company believes that its proprietary equipment is
particularly well-suited for the production of such containers because of the
relatively low capital costs required to convert its equipment from the use
of virgin resins.

     The Company is also engaged in the manufacture and sale of paper
containers primarily used by processors and packagers in the food industry. 
Sales of paper containers in 1993 were approximately $13 million.

Products

     The Company is engaged in the manufacture and sale of steel and aluminum
containers that are used primarily by processors and packagers in the food
and pet food industries.  Types of containers manufactured include those for
vegetables, fruit, pet food, tomato based products, evaporated milk and
infant formula.  The Company does not produce cans for use in the beer or
soft drink industries.  Cans are produced in a variety of sizes, ranging in
diameter from 2-1/8 inches to 6-3/16 inches and in height from 1-7/16 inches
to 7 inches.

     The Company is also engaged in the manufacture and sale of plastic
containers primarily used in the personal care, food, beverage (other than
carbonated soft drinks), household and pharmaceutical container markets. 
Plastic containers are produced by converting thermoplastic materials into
plastic containers ranging in size from 1/2 to 96 ounces.  Emphasis is on
value-added fabrication of the container and the decoration process.  The
Company designs and manufactures a wide range of containers for toiletries
and cosmetic products such as shampoos, hand creams and lotions.  Because
toiletries and cosmetic products are characterized by short product life and
a demand for creative packaging, the containers manufactured for these
products generally have more sophisticated designs and decorations.  Food and
beverage containers are designed and manufactured (generally to unique
specifications for a specific customer) to contain products such as
mouthwash, salad dressing, peanut butter, coffee, juice, water and liquor. 
Household containers are designed and manufactured to contain light-duty
dishwasher and heavy-duty laundry detergents, bleach, polishes, specialty
cleaning agents, insecticides and liquid household products.  Pharmaceutical
containers are designed and manufactured (either in a generic or in a
custom-made form) to contain tablets, solutions and similar products for the
ethical and over-the-counter markets.

Manufacturing and Production

     The Company uses three basic processes to produce cans.  The traditional
three-piece method requires three pieces of flat metal to form a cylindrical
body with a welded side seam, a bottom and a top.  The Company uses a welding
process for the side seam of three-piece cans to achieve a superior seal. 
High integrity of the side seam is further assured by the use of
sophisticated electronic weld monitors and organic coatings that are
thermally cured by induction and convection processes.  The other two methods


of producing cans start by forming a shallow cup that is then formed into the
desired height using either the draw and iron process or the draw and redraw
process.  Using the draw and redraw process, the Company manufactures steel
and aluminum two-piece cans, the height of which does not exceed the
diameter.  For cans the height of which is greater than the diameter, the
Company also manufactures steel two-piece cans by using a drawing and ironing
process.  Quality and stackability of such cans are comparable to that of the
shallow two-piece cans described above.  Can bodies and ends are manufactured
from thin, high-strength aluminum alloys and steels by utilizing proprietary
tool and die designs and selected can making equipment.  The Company's
manufacturing operations include cutting, coating, lithographing,
fabricating, assembling and packaging finished cans.

     The Company utilizes two basic processes to produce plastic bottles.  In
the blow molding process, pellets of plastic resin are heated and extruded
into a tube of plastic.  A two-piece metal mold is then closed around the
plastic tube and high pressure air is blown into it causing a bottle to form
in the mold's shape.  In the injection blow molding process, pellets of
plastic resin are heated and injected into a mold, forming a plastic tube. 
The plastic tube is then blown into a bottle-shaped metal mold, creating a
plastic bottle.

     The Company believes that its proprietary equipment for the production
of HDPE containers is particularly well-suited for the use of PCR resins
because of the relatively low capital costs required to convert its equipment
from the use of virgin resins.

     The Company's decorating methods for its plastic products include (i)
silk screen decoration, which enables the application of one to six images in
multiple colors to the bottle, (ii) post-molding decoration, which uses paper
labels applied to the bottles with glue and (iii) pressure-sensitive
decoration, which applies a paper label to a post-molded bottle by pressing
against the bottle.  The Company has state-of-the-art decorating equipment,
including, management believes, one of the largest sophisticated decorating
facilities in the Midwest, which allows the Company to custom-design new
products with short lead times.

     As is the practice in the industry, most of the Company's can and
plastic container customers provide it with annual estimates of products and
quantities pursuant to which periodic commitments are given.  Such estimates
enable the Company to effectively manage production and control working
capital requirements.  At December 31, 1993, Containers had in excess of 80%
of its projected 1994 sales under long-term contracts.  Plastics has written
purchase orders or contracts for containers with the majority of its
customers.  In general, these purchase orders and contracts are for
containers made from proprietary molds and are for a duration of 2-5 years. 
Both Containers and Plastics schedule their production to meet their
customers' requirements.  Because the production time for the Company's
products is short, the backlog of customer orders in relation to sales is not
significant.

Raw Materials

     The Company uses tin plated and chromium plated steel, aluminum, copper
wire, organic coatings, lining compound and inks in the manufacture and
decoration of its metal can products.  The Company's steel and other material
requirements are supplied through purchase orders with suppliers with whom
the Company, through its predecessors, has long-term relationships or through
open market purchases.  The Company has a contract to obtain the majority of
its requirements for aluminum at prices that are subject to adjustment based
on formulas and market conditions.  Such contract expires in 1996.  The
Company believes that it would be able to satisfy its requirements for
aluminum from other suppliers in the event of the loss of the current
supplier.  The Company believes that it will be able to purchase sufficient
quantities of steel and aluminum can sheet for the foreseeable future.



     The raw materials used by the Company for the manufacture of plastic
containers are primarily resins in pellet form such as PCR and virgin HDPE
and PET and, to a lesser extent, low density polyethylene, extrudable
polyester terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate glycol, polypropylene,
polyvinyl chloride and medium density polyethylene.  The Company's resin
requirements are acquired through a series of informal annual purchase orders
for specific quantities of resins with several suppliers of resins.  The
price the Company pays to purchase resin is determined at the time of
purchase.  The Company believes that it will be able to purchase sufficient
quantities of resin for the foreseeable future.

     The Company does not believe that it is materially dependent upon any
single supplier for any of its raw materials and, based upon the existing
arrangements with suppliers discussed above, its current and anticipated
requirements and market conditions, the Company believes that it has made
adequate provisions for acquiring raw materials.  Although increases in the
prices of raw materials have generally been passed along to the Company's
customers, the inability to do so in the future could have a significant
impact on the Company's operating margins.  In addition, should any of its
suppliers fail to deliver under their arrangements, the Company would be
forced to purchase raw materials on the open market, and no assurances can be
given that it would be able to make such purchases at prices which would
allow it to remain competitive.

Sales and Marketing

     The Company markets its products in most areas of the continental United
States primarily by a direct sales force through regional sales offices. 
Because of the high cost of transporting empty containers, the Company
generally sells to customers within a 300 mile radius of its manufacturing
plants.  See also  "Competition" below.

     In 1987, the Company, through Containers, and Nestle' entered into the
Nestle' Supply Agreements pursuant to which Containers has agreed to supply
Nestle' with, and Nestle' has agreed to purchase from Containers,
substantially all of the can requirements of the former Carnation operations
of Nestle' for a period of ten years, subject to certain conditions.

     The Nestle' Supply Agreements provide for certain prices and specify
that such prices will be increased or decreased based upon cost change
formulas set forth therein.  During the duration of the Nestle' Supply
Agreements, if Nestle' receives a competitive bid for any product supplied,
Containers has the right to match such bid with respect to the type and
volume of cans over the period of the competitive bid.  In the event that
Containers chooses not to match a competitive bid, Nestle' may purchase cans
from the competitive bidder at the competitive bid price for the term of the
bid.  The Nestle' Supply Agreements contain provisions that require
Containers to maintain certain levels of product quality, service and
delivery in order to retain the Nestle' business.  In the event of a breach
of a particular Nestle' Supply Agreement, Nestle' may terminate such Nestle'
Supply Agreement but the other Nestle' Supply Agreements would remain in
effect.

     Since 1990, Nestle' has requested that Containers match certain bids
received from other potential suppliers.  Containers agreed to match such
bids (which resulted in minor margin impact) and continues to supply
substantially all of the can requirements of the former Carnation operations
of Nestle'.  In the future, there can be no assurance that Containers will
choose to match any such bids or that, even if matched, such bids will be at
a level sufficient to allow Containers to maintain margins currently
received.  Until any such bids are received by Nestle' and submitted to the
Company, the Company cannot predict the effect, if any, of such bids upon its
financial condition or results of operations.  Significant reductions of
margins or the loss of significant unit volume under the Nestle' Supply
Agreements could, however, have a material adverse effect on the Company.



     On December 21, 1993, Containers and Del Monte entered into the DM
Supply Agreement.  Under the DM Supply Agreement, Del Monte has agreed to
purchase from Containers, and Containers has agreed to sell to Del Monte,
100% of Del Monte's annual requirements for metal containers to be used for
the packaging of food and beverages in the United States and not less than
65% of Del Monte's annual requirements of metal containers for the packaging
of food and beverages at Del Monte's Irapuato, Mexico facility, subject to
certain limited exceptions.

     The DM Supply Agreement provides for certain prices for all metal
containers supplied by Containers to Del Monte thereunder and specifies that
such prices will be increased or decreased based upon specified cost change
formulas. 

     Under the DM Supply Agreement, after five years, Del Monte may, under
certain circumstances, receive proposals with terms more favorable than those
under the DM Supply Agreement from independent commercial can manufacturers
for the supply of containers of a type and quality similar to the metal
containers that Containers furnishes to Del Monte, which proposals shall be
for the remainder of the term of the DM Supply Agreement and for 100% of the
annual volume of containers at one or more of Del Monte's canneries. 
Containers has the right to retain the business subject to the terms and
conditions of such competitive proposal.

     The sale of metal containers to vegetable pack customers is seasonal and
monthly revenues increase during the months of June through October.  As is
common in the packaging industry, the Company must build inventory and then
carry accounts receivable for some seasonal vegetable pack customers beyond
the end of the harvest season.  Consistent with industry practice, such
customers may return unused containers.  Historically, such returns have been
minimal.

     As part of its marketing strategy, the Company has arrangements to sell
some of its plastic products to distributors, which in turn sell such
products primarily to small-size regional customers.  Plastic containers sold
to distributors are manufactured by using generic molds with decoration,
color and neck finishes added to meet the distributors' individual
requirements.  The distributors' warehouses and their sales personnel enable
the Company to market and inventory a wide range of such products to a
variety of customers.

     In 1993, 1992 and 1991, metal containers accounted for approximately
69%, 68% and 64%, respectively, of the Company's total sales, and plastic
containers accounted for approximately 29%, 30% and 34%, respectively, of the
Company's total sales.  On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the
acquisition of DM Can, metal and plastic containers in 1993 would have
accounted for approximately 76% and 23% of the Company's total sales,
respectively.  The Company's total sales of paperboard cartons accounted for
approximately 2% of the Company's total sales in each of 1993, 1992 and 1991. 
In 1993, 1992 and 1991, approximately 34%, 37% and 32%, respectively, of the
Company's sales were to Nestle'.  On a pro forma basis after giving effect to
the acquisition of DM Can, approximately 27% of the Company's 1993 sales
would have been to Nestle' and 21% of the Company's 1993 sales would have
been to Del Monte.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the
Company's total sales during such years.

Competition

     The packaging industry is highly competitive.  The Company competes in
this industry with other packaging manufacturers as well as fillers, food
processors and packers who manufacture containers for their own use and for
sale to others.  The Company attempts to compete effectively through the
quality of its products, pricing and its ability to meet customer
requirements for delivery, performance and technical assistance.  The Company
also pursues market niches such as the manufacture of easy-open ends and
special feature cans, which may differentiate the Company's products from its


competitors' products.

     Management believes that the market for metal food containers is mature. 
Some self-manufacturers have sold or closed can manufacturing operations and
entered into long-term supply agreements with the new owners or with
commercial can manufacturers.  Of the commercial metal can manufacturers,
Crown Cork and Seal Company, Inc., American National Can Company and Ball
Corporation (through its Heekin Can operations) are the Company's most
significant competitors.

     Although metal containers face continued competition from plastic, paper
and composite containers, management believes that metal containers are
superior to plastic and paper containers in industry sectors where the
contents are processed at high temperatures, where the contents are packaged
in large or institutional quantities (14 to 64 oz.) or where long-term
storage of the product is desirable.  Such sectors include canned vegetables,
fruits, meats, juices, non-carbonated beverages and pet foods.  These sectors
are the principal areas for which the Company manufactures its products.

     Plastics competes with a number of large national producers of food,
beverage and household plastic container products, including Owens-Brockway
Plastics Products, a division of Owens-Illinois, Inc., Plastic Containers
Inc., Johnson Controls Inc., Constar Plastics Inc., a subsidiary of Crown
Cork and Seal Company, Inc., Graham Packaging Co. and Plastipak Packaging
Inc. In order to compete effectively in the constantly changing market for
plastic bottles, the Company must remain current with, and to some extent
anticipate innovations in, resin composition and applications and changes in
the manufacturing of plastic bottles.

     Because of the high cost of transporting empty containers, the Company
generally sells to customers within a 300 mile radius of its manufacturing
plants.  Strategically located existing plants give the Company an advantage
over competitors from other areas, and the Company would be disadvantaged by
the loss or relocation of a major customer.  As of February 28, 1994, the
Company operated 35 manufacturing facilities, geographically dispersed
throughout the United States and Canada, that serve the distribution needs of
its customers.

Employees

     As of December 31, 1993, the Company employed approximately 630 salaried
and 3,350 hourly employees on a full time basis, including 650 employees who
joined the Company on December 21, 1993 as a result of the acquisition of DM
Can.  Approximately 60% of the Company's hourly plant employees are
represented by one of the following unions: (i) Sheet Metal Workers
International Association, (ii) International Association of Machinists and
Aerospace Workers, (iii) The International Brotherhood of Teamsters, (iv) The
United Steel Workers of America, (v) Industrial, Technical & Professional
Employees Union, (vi) The Glass, Molders, Pottery, Plastics and Allied
Workers International Union, (vii) The United Rubber, Cork and Plastic
Workers of America and (viii) Oil, Chemical & Atomic Workers International
Union.

     The Company's labor contracts expire at various times between 1994 and
1998.  Contracts covering approximately 14% of the Company's hourly employees
presently expire during 1994.  The Company expects no significant changes in
its relations with these unions.  Management believes that its relationship
with its employees is good.

Regulation

     The Company is subject to federal, state and local environmental laws
and regulations.  In general, these laws and regulations limit the discharge
of pollutants into the air and water and establish standards for the
treatment, storage, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste.  The Company
believes that all of its facilities are either in compliance in all material


respects with all presently applicable environmental laws and regulations or
are operating in accordance with appropriate variances, delayed compliance
orders or similar arrangements.  In the past, the Company inadvertently made
late filings with the federal Environmental Protection Agency under the
Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act ("EPCRA").  The Company is
currently in compliance in all material respects with EPCRA.

     In addition to costs associated with regulatory compliance, the Company
may be held liable for alleged environmental damage associated with the past
disposal of hazardous substances.  Generators of hazardous substances
disposed of at sites at which environmental problems are alleged to exist, as
well as the owners of those sites and certain other classes of persons, are
subject to claims under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 ("CERCLA") regardless of fault or the
legality of the original disposal.  Liability under CERCLA and under many
similar state statutes is joint and several, and, therefore, any responsible
party may be held liable for the entire cleanup cost at a particular site. 
Other state statutes may impose proportionate rather than joint and several
liability.  The federal Environmental Protection Agency or a state agency may
also issue orders requiring responsible parties to undertake removal or
remedial actions at certain sites.  Pursuant to the agreement relating to the
acquisition in 1987 of the metal container manufacturing division of Nestle'
("Nestle' Can"), the Company has assumed liability for the past waste
disposal practices of Nestle' Can.  The Company has received notice that it
is one of many potentially responsible parties (or similarly designated
parties) for cleanup of hazardous waste at two sites to which it (or its
predecessor Nestle' Can) is alleged to have shipped such waste, one site at
which the Company's share of cleanup costs could exceed $100,000.  See "Legal
Proceedings."

     Pursuant to the agreement relating to the acquisition in 1987 from
Monsanto Company ("Monsanto") of substantially all of the business and
related fixed assets and inventory of Monsanto's plastic containers business
("Monsanto Plastic Containers"), Monsanto has agreed to indemnify the Company
for substantially all of the costs attributable to the past waste disposal
practices of Monsanto Plastic Containers.  In connection with the acquisition
of DM Can, Del Monte has agreed to indemnify the Company for a period of
three years for substantially all of the costs attributable to any
noncompliance by DM Can with any environmental law prior to the closing,
including all of the costs attributable to the past waste disposal practices
of DM Can.

     The Company is subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Act and
other laws regulating noise exposure levels in the production areas of its
plants.

     Management does not believe that any of the matters described above
individually or in the aggregate will have a material effect on the Company's
capital expenditures, earnings, financial position or competitive position.

Research and Technology

     The Company's research, product development and product engineering
efforts relating to its metal containers are conducted at its research center
at Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and at other plant locations.

     The Company's research, product development and product engineering
efforts with respect to its plastic containers are currently performed by its
manufacturing and engineering personnel located at its Norcross, Georgia
facility.  In addition to its own research and development staff, the Company
participates in arrangements with four non-U.S. plastic container
manufacturers that call for an exchange of technology among these
manufacturers.  Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company licenses its blow
molding technology to such manufacturers.

Company History


     Silgan was organized in August 1987 as a holding company to acquire
interests in various packaging manufacturers.  On August 31, 1987, Silgan,
through Containers, purchased from Nestle' the business and related assets
and working capital of Nestle' Can for approximately $151 million in cash and
the assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of Nestle' Can.  Also
on August 31, 1987, Silgan, through Plastics, purchased from Monsanto
substantially all the business and related fixed assets and inventory of
Monsanto Plastic Containers for approximately $43 million in cash and the
assumption of certain liabilities of Monsanto Plastic Containers.  To finance
these acquisitions and to pay related fees and expenses, Silgan raised
approximately $222.5 million on August 31, 1987 by issuing $6 million of
common stock, $15 million of its 15% Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable
Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") and $85 million of its 14% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 1997 (the "14% Notes") and by borrowing $116.5 million
under its credit agreement.

     During 1988, Containers acquired from The Dial Corporation its metal
container manufacturing division known as the Fort Madison Can Company ("Fort
Madison"), and from Nestle' its carton manufacturing division known as the
Seaboard Carton Division ("Seaboard").

     During 1989, Plastics acquired Aim Packaging, Inc. ("Aim") and Fortune
Plastics, Inc. ("Fortune") in the United States, and Express Plastic
Containers Limited ("Express") in Canada, to improve its competitive position
in the HDPE container market.  Such acquisitions were financed through
additional borrowings under Silgan's credit agreement.

     Holdings was organized in April 1989 as a holding company to acquire all
of the outstanding common stock of Silgan.  On June 30, 1989, Silgan
Acquisition, Inc. ("Acquisition"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings,
merged with and into Silgan, and Silgan became a wholly owned subsidiary of
Holdings (the "1989 Mergers").  In connection with the 1989 Mergers, Holdings
received $109.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of $120 million
aggregate principal amount of its Senior Reset Debentures due 2004 (the
"Holdings Reset Debentures"), net of debt issuance costs of $10.1 million. 
Additionally, Holdings received $14.6 million in proceeds from the issuance
of its Class B Common Stock.  With such proceeds, payments of $69.9 million
were made to Silgan's stockholders and stock option holders in connection
with the 1989 Mergers and $25.2 million was advanced to Silgan and used by
Silgan to repay working capital loans.  The balance of such proceeds, along
with additional term loan borrowings under Silgan's credit agreement of $24.0
million and a capital contribution of $5.0 million by the stockholders of
Silgan P.E.T. Holdings Inc. ("SPHI"), was used by Holdings in connection with
the purchase of Silgan P.E.T. Corp. ("Silgan PET") on August 1, 1989 for
$51.4 million, including $2.2 million of acquisition costs.

     In 1989, Silgan PET, a wholly owned subsidiary of SPHI, acquired the
business and related assets of Amoco Container Company ("Amoco Container"). 
On July 13, 1990, Holdings and Silgan entered into a business combination
(the "SPHI Business Combination") pursuant to which SPHI became a majority
owned subsidiary of Silgan.  The SPHI Business Combination was accounted for
in a manner similar to a pooling of interests.  See "Selected Financial
Data."

     In November 1991, Plastics sold its nonstrategic PET carbonated beverage
bottle business (the "PET Beverage Sale"), exiting that commodity business.

     In 1992, Holdings and Silgan refinanced a substantial portion of their
indebtedness (the "Refinancing") pursuant to a plan to improve their
financial flexibility.  The Refinancing included the following:  (i) the
public offering in June 1992 by Silgan of $135 million principal amount of
its 11-3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the "11-3/4% Notes"); (ii)
the private placement in June 1992 by Silgan of $50 million principal amount
of its Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 1997 (the "Secured Notes") with
certain institutional investors; (iii) the public offering in June 1992 by
Holdings of its 13-1/4% Senior Discount Debentures due 2002 (the "Discount


Debentures") for an aggregate amount of proceeds of $165.4 million; (iv) the
amendment of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of August
31, 1987, as amended (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") among
Silgan and certain of its subsidiaries, the lenders named therein and Bankers
Trust Company ("Bankers Trust"), as agent, followed by the prepayment in June
1992 by Silgan of $30 million of term loans and the borrowing by Silgan of
approximately $17 million of working capital loans under the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement; (v) the redemption in August 1992 of all of the
outstanding 14% Notes (the "14% Notes Redemption"); (vi) the redemption in
August 1992 of all of the outstanding Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock
Redemption"); (vii) the repayment by Silgan of a $25.2 million advance from
Holdings and the payment to Holdings of a $15.7 million dividend; (viii) the
payment by Holdings in cash of $15.3 million of interest payable on July 1,
1992 on the Holdings Reset Debentures; (ix) the redemption by Holdings in
July 1992 of all of the outstanding Holdings Reset Debentures (the "Holdings
Reset Debentures Redemption;" together with the "14% Notes Redemption" and
the "Preferred Stock Redemption" being sometimes herein referred to as the
"Redemptions"); and (x) the payment of transaction fees and expenses relating
to the Refinancing.  Additionally, in June 1992 Aim, Fortune, Silgan PET and
SPHI were merged into Plastics.

     On December 21, 1993, Containers acquired from Del Monte substantially
all of the fixed assets and certain working capital of Del Monte's container
manufacturing business in the United States for a purchase price of
approximately $73 million and the assumption of certain limited liabilities. 
To finance the acquisition, (i) Silgan, Containers and Plastics
(collectively, the "Borrowers"), entered into a credit agreement, dated as of
December 21, 1993 (the "Credit Agreement") with the lenders from time to time
party thereto (the "Banks"), Bank of America National Trust and Savings
Association ("Bank of America"), as Co-Agent, and Bankers Trust, as Agent,
and (ii) Holdings issued and sold to Mellon Bank, N.A., as trustee for First
Plaza Group Trust, a group trust established under the laws of the State of
New York ("First Plaza"), 250,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Holdings Stock"), for a purchase price of $60.00
per share and an aggregate purchase price of $15 million.  Additionally,
Silgan, Containers and Plastics borrowed term and working capital loans under
the Credit Agreement to refinance and repay in full all amounts owing under
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.


Item 2.  Properties

     Holdings' and Silgan's principal executive offices are located at 4
Landmark Square, Stamford, Connecticut 06901.  The administrative
headquarters and principal places of business for Containers and Plastics are
located at 21800 Oxnard Street, Woodland Hills, California 91367 and 16216
Baxter Road, Suite 300, St. Louis, Missouri 63017, respectively.  All of
these offices are leased by the Company.

     The Company owns and leases properties for use in the ordinary course of
business.  Such properties consist primarily of 22 metal container
manufacturing facilities, 12 plastic container manufacturing facilities and
one paper container manufacturing facility.  Eighteen of these facilities are
owned and 17 are leased by the Company.  The leases expire at various times
through 2020.  Some of these leases provide for options to purchase or to
renew the lease.

     Below is a list of the Company's operating facilities, including
attached warehouses, as of February 28, 1994:

               Mississauga, Ontario       60,000 (leased)

     The Company owns and leases certain other warehouse facilities that are
detached from its manufacturing facilities.  In addition, the Company owns
four other properties, two of which the Company subleases to a third party
and intends to sell and the other two of which the Company is not currently
using and intends to sell or sublease.

     The Company believes that its plants, warehouses and other facilities
are in good operating condition, adequately maintained, and suitable to meet
its present needs and future plans.  The Company believes that it has
sufficient capacity to satisfy the demand for its products in the foreseeable
future.  To the extent that the Company needs additional capacity, management
believes that the Company can convert certain facilities to continuous
operation or make the appropriate capital expenditures to increase capacity.


Item 3.  Legal Proceedings  

     Fidelity and EQJ Complaints.  On June 28, 1989, a complaint was filed in
the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County
jointly by Fidelity Bankers Life Insurance Company ("Fidelity"), which was
the beneficial holder of 150,000 shares of Class B common stock of Silgan,
and Ince & Co. ("Ince," together with Fidelity, sometimes hereinafter
referred to as the "Fidelity Plaintiffs"), which was the registered owner of
Fidelity's shares, against Silgan, Holdings, Morgan Stanley & Co.
Incorporated ("Morgan Stanley"), certain officers, directors and majority
stockholders of Silgan and certain other parties (the "Fidelity Complaint"). 
In addition, on September 14, 1989, a second complaint was filed in the Court
of Chancery in the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County jointly by



EQJ Partnership, Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States,
Integrity Life Insurance Company, Kleinwort Benson Limited, Merrill Lynch
Corporate Bond Fund, Inc., New Locke Fund, SAM Associates, L.P., the
beneficial holder of shares of Class B common stock of Silgan held in the
name of Calmont & Co., as nominee, and SIB Nominees Ltd. (the "EQJ
Plaintiffs"), which plaintiffs were the beneficial holders of an aggregate of
900,000 shares of Class B common stock of Silgan, against Silgan, Holdings,
Acquisition and directors of Silgan (the "EQJ Complaint," together with the
Fidelity Complaint, sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Complaints"). 
Although filed separately, the Complaints are similar and allege, among other
things, that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty and
candor under Delaware law to minority stockholders of Silgan by engaging in
unfair dealings, attempting to effect a merger at a grossly inadequate price
and distributing misleading proxy materials.  See "Business-Company History." 
The Complaints also allege that various defendants aided and abetted these
purported breaches of fiduciary duties.  The Complaints ask the court, among
other things, to rescind the 1989 Mergers and/or to grant to the plaintiffs
such damages, including rescissory damages, as are found by the court to be
proven at trial.

     In the fall of 1989, all defendants moved to dismiss the Complaints for
failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted.  The court ruled
on the motion in the Fidelity Complaint on February 7, 1991, dismissing seven
of the ten claims asserted and allowing the Fidelity Plaintiffs leave to
plead one additional claim.  On February 27, 1991, the Fidelity Plaintiffs
filed an amended complaint.  On May 24, 1991, the defendants answered the
amended complaint, denying the material allegations and asserting affirmative
defenses.  On January 29, 1992, Silgan and the EQJ Plaintiffs filed a
stipulation dismissing the EQJ Complaint with respect to all defendants
without prejudice to the right of the EQJ Plaintiffs to reinstate the action
at the conclusion of the appraisal proceeding instituted by the EQJ
Plaintiffs and described below.

     On September 14, 1989, the EQJ Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Appraisal
(the "EQJ Appraisal") against Silgan in the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County.  On October 13, 1989, the Fidelity
Plaintiffs filed a Petition for Appraisal (the "Fidelity Appraisal," together
with the EQJ Appraisal, sometimes hereinafter referred to as the
"Appraisals") against Silgan in the Court of Chancery in the State of
Delaware in and for New Castle County.  Although filed separately, the
Appraisals both purport to invoke the rights of the EQJ Plaintiffs and the
Fidelity Plaintiffs to seek an appraisal of their shares of Class B common
stock of Silgan pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law as a consequence of the 1989 Mergers.  

     The Fidelity Appraisal purports to seek, among other relief, a judgment
awarding the Fidelity Plaintiffs the fair value of their shares of Class B
common stock of Silgan in an unspecified amount.  On May 13, 1991, Fidelity
was seized and placed into receivership by the Virginia State Corporation
Commission.  As a result, the Fidelity Complaint and Fidelity Appraisal were
stayed until March 30, 1992.  Both the Fidelity Complaint and Fidelity
Appraisal were dismissed in February 1994 following settlement with the
Fidelity Plaintiffs.

     The EQJ Appraisal alleges that the EQJ Plaintiffs' shares are worth more
than three times the price offered in connection with the 1989 Mergers and
seeks, among other relief, a judgment awarding the EQJ Plaintiffs the fair
value of their shares of Class B common stock of Silgan in an amount of no
less than $24 per share.  Discovery in the EQJ Appraisal is proceeding.  The
court has set a pre-trial conference for May 2, 1994 and the week of May 9,
1994 for trial.

     Management believes that there is no factual basis for the allegations
and claims contained in the Complaints.  Management also believes that the
lawsuits are without merit and intends to defend the lawsuits vigorously.  In
addition, management believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters


and the appraisal proceedings will not have a material effect on the
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

     Katell/Desert Complaint.  On November 6, 1991, Gerald L.  Katell
("Katell") and Desert Equities, Inc. ("Desert"), who are limited partners of
The Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund, L.P. ("MSLEF"), filed a
consolidated complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in
and for New Castle County (the "Katell/Desert Complaint") against a number of
defendants, including Holdings and Silgan.  (The plaintiffs previously had
filed similar complaints in the New York Supreme Court, but the complaints
were dismissed on the grounds that, in the interests of substantial justice,
the actions should be heard in the courts of Delaware.)  The plaintiffs
allege, among other things, that The Morgan Stanley Leveraged Capital Fund,
Inc. and Cigna Leveraged Capital Fund, Inc., the general partners of MSLEF,
breached duties owed to the limited partners.  Holdings and Silgan are named
as defendants in Count III of such amended complaint, which charges them with
aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty by MSLEF and the general
partners.  These aiding and abetting claims are premised on the same
allegations concerning the 1989 Mergers that form the basis of the
Complaints.  The plaintiffs claim damages in the amount of $4.67 million.

     On December 9, 1991, all defendants moved to dismiss the Katell/Desert
Complaint on the grounds that (i) plaintiffs' claims are derivative in nature
and cannot be maintained as individual actions, (ii) plaintiffs' claims as to
shares of stock and other rights allegedly held by them directly fail to
state a claim and, in some cases, are time barred and (iii) with respect to
the aiding and abetting claims asserted against Holdings and Silgan, the
Katell/Desert Complaint fails to allege sufficient knowing participation to
constitute a cause of action for aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary
duties.  On February 17, 1992, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint
asserting derivative claims on behalf of the partnership alternatively to
Counts I through IV of the Katell/Desert Complaint.  The amended complaint
also deletes specific allegations as to the amount of damages, seeking a
determination of such damages by the court.  All defendants moved to dismiss
the amended complaint on February 27, 1992.  After full briefing and oral
argument, the court dismissed all claims against Holdings and Silgan by
memorandum opinion and order dated January 14, 1993.  On January 25, 1993,
the plaintiffs moved for reargument, seeking that the court amend its order
to provide that the dismissal of the claims against certain defendants,
including Holdings and Silgan, be without prejudice to reinstatement.  The
court denied this motion by order dated March 29, 1993.

     Management believes that there is no factual basis for the allegations
and claims contained in the Katell/Desert Complaint.  Management also
believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend the lawsuit
vigorously.  In addition, management believes that the ultimate resolution of
these matters and the appraisal proceedings will not have a material effect
on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

     Summer del Caribe.  On October 17, 1989, the State of California, on
behalf of the California Department of Health Services, filed a suit in the
United States District Court for the Northern District of California against
the owners and operators of a recycling facility operated by Summer del
Caribe, Inc., Dale Summer and Lynn Rodich.  The complaint also named 16 can
manufacturing companies, including Silgan, that had sent small amounts of
solder dross to the facility for recycling as "Responsible Parties" under the
California Superfund statute.  The court has stayed the action.  The Company
is one of 16 can companies participating in a steering committee.  The
steering committee has actively undertaken a feasibility study and has
retained an environmental consultant.  The Company has agreed with the other
can company defendants that Silgan's apportioned share of cleanup costs would
be 6.72% of the total costs of cleanup.  Although the total cost of cleanup
has not yet been determined, the Company understands that the State of
California's current worst case estimate of total cleanup costs for all
parties is $5.5 million.  The steering committee believes that the cost to
remediate will be no more than $3 million, approximately one-half the


government's estimate.  Accordingly, the Company believes its maximum
exposure is not greater than 6.72% of $3 million, or approximately $202,000.

     Other.  Other than the actions mentioned above, there are no other
pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental
to the business of the Company, to which the Company is a party or to which
any of its properties are subject.


Item 4.  Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

     On December 17, 1993, all of the holders of the Holdings Class A Stock
and Holdings Class B Stock (each as defined under "Market for Registrant's
Common Stock and Related Stockholder Matters"), by unanimous written consent,
approved the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Holdings (the
"Certificate of Incorporation").  Pursuant to the Certificate of
Incorporation, the authorized shares of Holdings Class B Stock were increased
to 667,500 shares, the number of directors of Holdings was increased to six
directors and certain provisions relating to the election of directors were
modified.  See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and
Management -- Description of Holdings Common Stock."


                                   PART II.

Item 5.  Market for Registrant's Common Stock and Related Stockholder
Matters.

     Holdings has three classes of Common Stock, its Class A Common Stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "Holdings Class A Stock"), its Class B Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Holdings Class B Stock"), and its Class
C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Holdings Class C Stock,"
together with the Holdings Class A Stock and the Holdings Class B Stock being
herein referred to as the "Holdings Common Stock").  The Holdings Common
Stock is not publicly traded on any market or exchange.  There are two
holders of record of the Holdings Class A Stock, two holders of record of the
Holdings Class B Stock and one holder of record of the Holdings Class C
Stock.  See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." 
Holdings has not paid any dividends on the Holdings Common Stock.  Pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Holdings Guaranty, dated as of December 21, 1993
made by Holdings in favor of the banks under the Credit Agreement, Bank of
America, as Co-Agent and Bankers Trust, as Agent, and, unless certain
financial tests are met, the indenture in respect of the Discount Debentures,
Holdings is prohibited from paying any such dividends, and it does not intend
to pay any such dividends in the foreseeable future.

Notes to Selected Financial Data
- ---------------------------------
<FN>

<fa> On December 21, 1993, the Company acquired from Del Monte substantially all of the fixed assets and certain working
     capital of its container manufacturing business.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and the
     results of operations have been included with the Company's historical results from the acquisition date.

<fb> On November 15, 1991, the Company completed the PET Beverage Sale.  For 1991, sales from the PET carbonated beverage
     business were $33.4 million.

<fc> On July 13, 1990, Holdings and Silgan entered into the SPHI Business Combination with SPHI whereby SPHI became a
     majority owned subsidiary of Silgan.  The SPHI Business Combination was accounted for in a manner similar to a
     pooling of interests and accordingly Holdings' consolidated financial statements include SPHI for periods subsequent
     to July 24, 1989.  SPHI was formed in 1989 to acquire, through its wholly owned subsidiary Silgan PET, the business
     and related assets of Amoco Container.  Such acquisition occurred on July 24, 1989 and was accounted for as a
     purchase transaction.

<fd> Holdings was incorporated on April 6, 1989.  On June 30, 1989, Holdings acquired all of the outstanding common stock
     of Silgan.  See "Business-Company History."  Holdings did not have any operations from the date of inception through
     June 30, 1989.

<fe> Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109,
     "Accounting for Income Taxes."  The Company had previously reported under SFAS No. 96 "Accounting for Income Taxes." 
     There was no effect for the difference in methods at the date of adoption.  Furthermore, the adoption of SFAS No. 109
     had no effect on the Company's 1993 provision for income taxes.



<ff> During 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
     Pensions," SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" and SFAS No. 112, "Employers Accounting for Postemployment
     Benefits."  There is no tax effect as a result of these changes due to the net operating loss position of the
     Company.  The Company has elected not to restate prior year's financial statements for any of these pronouncements.

<fg> "EBDITA" means consolidated net income before extraordinary charges, cumulative effect of changes in accounting
     principles and preferred stock dividends plus, to the extent reflected in the income statement for the period for
     which consolidated net income is to be determined, without duplication, (i) consolidated interest expense (including
     minority interest expense), (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation expense, (iv) amortization expense, (v)
     expenses relating to postretirement health care costs which amounted to $0.478 million in 1993, and (vi) charges
     relating to the vesting of benefits under SARs in connection with the 1989 Mergers of $1.973 million and $4.835
     million in Holdings' 1990 historical data and $1.973 million and $4.835 million in Silgan's 1990 and 1989 historical
     data, respectively.  The 1989 charge is not reflected in Holdings' historical data because such charge occurred prior
     to the 1989 Mergers.

<fh> The number of employees at December 31, 1993 excludes 650 employees who joined the Company on December 21, 1993 as a
     result of the acquisition by Containers of DM Can.

Item 7.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

General

     Although the food can industry in the United States is relatively stable
and mature in terms of unit sales growth, Containers has realized compound
annual unit growth in excess of 7% since 1987.  On a pro forma basis giving
effect to the acquisition of DM Can, unit sales growth of Containers is in
excess of 12% since 1987.  Plastics is pursuing new markets for its plastic
containers, including the post-consumer recycled resin segment of the market. 
Based upon published information and management's experience in the industry,
management believes that PET custom containers are replacing glass containers
for products such as mouthwash, salad dressing, peanut butter and liquor. 
Management also believes that Plastics is well positioned because of its
technologically advanced equipment to respond to opportunities for future
growth in the rigid plastic container market.

     Sales growth at Containers and Plastics has enabled the Company to
improve EBDITA by achieving economies of scale.  Since 1991 Containers has
closed two smaller, higher cost facilities and Plastics has implemented an
aggressive consolidation and rationalization program that resulted in the
closing of three plants, the consolidation of technical and administrative
centers and a substantial reduction in personnel. In November 1991, Plastics
sold its nonstrategic PET carbonated beverage bottle business, exiting that
commodity business.  The Company has reduced its selling and administrative
expenses and its manufacturing costs as a result of these actions.

     In 1992, Holdings and Silgan completed the Refinancing to improve their
financial flexibility.  See "Business -- Company History."

     On December 21, 1993, Containers acquired the assets of Del Monte's
metal food and beverage container manufacturing business ("DM Can") in the
United States for approximately $73 million.  In connection with the
acquisition of DM Can, Containers and Del Monte entered into a ten-year
supply agreement under which Containers will supply all of Del Monte's metal
container requirements for the packaging of food and beverages in the United
States and not less than 65% of Del Monte's annual requirements of metal
containers for the packaging of food and beverages at Del Monte's Irapuato,
Mexico facility.  As a result of the acquisition of DM Can, the Company will
produce almost all of the containers necessary to package the canned
vegetable and fruit products of Del Monte, the largest provider of canned
fruits and vegetables in the United States.  

     In conjunction with the acquisition of DM Can, Silgan, Containers and
Plastics entered into the Credit Agreement with the Banks.  The proceeds from
the Credit Agreement were used to finance, in part, the acquisition of DM
Can, repay in full amounts owing under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement and pay fees and expenses related thereto.  Additionally, Holdings
issued and sold 250,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock for $15 million,
which amount Holdings contributed to the capital of Silgan.  

     The Company believes the combination of the nine DM Can facilities with
its existing thirteen can plants will create cost reduction opportunities
through plant rationalization and equipment investment as well as additional
cost savings from production scheduling and line reconfiguration.

     This discussion should be read in conjunction with the selected
financial data, the historical statements of operations and the notes thereto
included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In addition to the
discussion of historical results of operations, to provide more meaningful
information about the acquisition of DM Can, management has provided a pro
forma discussion of the results of operation of the Company for the year
ended December 31, 1993 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1992,
after giving effect to the acquisition of DM Can.


Results of Operations - Historical

     Year Ended December 31, 1993 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1992. 

     Net sales of metal containers increased $20.1 million, or 4.7%, to
$445.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to $425.8
million for the same period in 1992. Net sales of metal containers to Nestle'
decreased $11.6 million to $214.1 million, compared to net sales of $225.7
million for the same period in 1992, primarily due to reduced demand by
Nestle'.  Net sales of metal containers to other customers increased $31.7
million to $231.8 million, compared to net sales of $200.1 million for the
same period in 1992.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in unit
sales to existing non-vegetable pack customers and the purchase of an
additional manufacturing facility in May 1993, which accounted for sales of
$12.5 million, offset, in part, by lower unit sales to vegetable pack
customers due to the extremely wet weather in the Midwest in the summer of
1993.

     Net sales of plastic containers were $186.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 1993, $6.3 million lower than net sales of plastic containers of
$192.6 million for the same period in 1992.  The decrease in net sales was
primarily attributable to lower unit sales to existing customers due to soft
market conditions.

     Sales of other containers increased approximately 15% to $13.3 million
for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to $11.6 million for the same
period in 1992.

     Cost of goods sold was 88.5% of net sales ($571.2 million) for the year
ended December 31, 1993, compared to 88.1% of net sales ($555.0 million) for
the same period in 1992.  The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage
of sales principally resulted from higher per unit manufacturing costs
incurred as a result of higher depreciation expense, lost margin on
outsourced cans due to capacity constraints in early 1993, offset, in part,
by general gains in manufacturing efficiencies. 

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.0% of net sales
($32.5 million) for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to 5.2% ($32.8
million) for the same period in 1992. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was principally attributable
to the maintenance of a constant level of expenditures on a greater sales
base.

     Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 6.5% ($41.8
million) for the year ended December 31, 1993, compared to 6.7% ($42.3
million) for the same period in 1992. The 0.2% decrease in income from
operations as a percentage of sales was due primarily to the aforementioned
decrease in gross profit margin.

     Interest expense decreased by approximately $5.5 million to $54.3
million for the year ended December 31, 1993 compared with $59.8 million
(including minority interest expense of $2.7 million) for the same period in
1992.  The decrease principally reflected the benefit of the refinancing in
June 1992 of the Company's and Silgan's debt and Silgan's preferred stock at
lower average interest rates.

     The provisions for income taxes for 1993 and 1992 were comprised of
state and foreign components and recognized the benefit of certain deductions
for federal income tax which were available to Holdings.  Effective January
1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109.  The application of the new
standard did not have an effect on the Company's provision for income taxes
for 1993.

     The loss before extraordinary charges and cumulative effect of changes
in accounting principles for the year ended December 31, 1993 was $14.4
million, as compared to $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1992. 


The decrease in the loss before extraordinary charges and cumulative effect
of changes in accounting principles was principally the result of the
decrease in interest expense in 1993.

     As a result of the refinancing of the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement in conjunction with the acquisition of DM Can and the refinancing
in June 1992 of Silgan's debt and preferred stock and Holdings' debt, the
Company incurred extraordinary charges of $1.3 million and $23.6 million for
the early extinguishment of debt in 1993 and 1992, respectively.

     During 1993 the Company adopted SFAS No. 106 and SFAS No. 112.  The
cumulative effect of these accounting changes was to decrease net income by
$5.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

     Year Ended December 31, 1992 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 1991 

     Net sales of metal containers decreased $9.5 million to $425.8 million
for the year ended December 31, 1992, compared to $435.3 million for the same
period in 1991.  Net sales of metal containers to Nestle' increased $12.6
million to $225.7 million, compared to net sales of $213.1 million for the
same period in 1991, primarily due to increased unit sales of pet food
containers, offset, in part, by less demand for tomato cans due to a smaller
pack in 1992 than in the prior year and by the pass through of lower material
costs.  Net sales of metal containers to other customers decreased $22.1
million to $200.1 million, compared to net sales of $222.2 million for the
same period in 1991.  The decrease was primarily due to colder and wetter
summer weather experienced in the Midwest which resulted in a reduced
vegetable pack as compared to the prior year along with lower unit sales
volume as a result of the closing by the Company of two metal container
manufacturing facilities, partially offset by increased sales to existing
customers.

     Net sales of plastic containers were $192.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1992, $39.5 million lower than net sales of plastic containers
of $232.1 million for the same period in 1991.  The decrease in net sales was
primarily attributable to the disposition of the PET carbonated beverage
bottle business in November 1991 which accounted for sales of $33.4 million
during the year ended December 31, 1991.  The decrease in net sales of other
plastic containers of $6.1 million was attributable to lower average sales
prices due to the pass through of lower average resin costs and a change in
the mix of products sold.

     Sales of other containers totaled $11.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1992, compared to $10.8 million for the same period in 1991.

     Costs of goods sold was 88.1% of net sales ($555.0 million) for the year
ended December 31, 1992, compared to 89.2% of net sales ($605.2 million) for
the same period in 1991.  The decrease in cost of goods sold as a percentage
of sales principally resulted from lower per unit manufacturing costs
realized through improved manufacturing efficiencies in the Company's
existing plant facilities, the benefits realized from the closing of four
higher cost manufacturing plants in the latter part of 1991 and early 1992,
and the sale of the lower margin PET carbonated beverage business, offset, in
part, by lower margins realized on certain products due to competitive
pricing conditions.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses were 5.2% of net sales
($32.8 million) for the year ended December 31, 1992, compared to 5.0% ($34.1
million) for the same period in 1991.  The $1.3 million decrease was
principally attributable to cost savings generated from a reduction in
administrative personnel, partially offset by a charge for an uncollectible
account that has been fully reserved.

     Income from operations as a percentage of net sales was 6.7% ($42.3
million) for the year ended December 31, 1992, compared to 5.7% ($38.9
million) for the same period in 1991.  The 1.0% increase in income from


operations as a percentage of sales was due primarily to the improved overall
margins realized by the Company from its existing operations after closing
four higher cost manufacturing facilities in the latter part of 1991 and
early 1992 and the disposition in November 1991 of the lower margin PET
carbonated beverage business.

     Interest expense increased by approximately $1.1 million to $57.1
million for the year ended December 31, 1992.  The increase was due to
additional interest accruing at a higher rate on the higher balance of the
Holdings Reset Debentures, additional indebtedness which was outstanding in
the third quarter of 1992 because the 14% Notes Redemption and the Holdings
Reset Debentures Redemption did not take place until 60 and 30 days,
respectively, after the effectiveness of the Refinancing, offset, in part, by
lower average interest rates incurred on a lower average balance of bank
borrowings.  Average bank borrowings have declined due to tighter management
of inventories and term loan repayments.

     The provisions for income tax for the years ended December 31, 1992 and
1991 were comprised of state and foreign components.

     As a result of the items discussed above, Holdings' loss before the
extraordinary charge for the year ended December 31, 1992 was $19.8 million,
$0.8 million less than Holdings' net loss for the year ended December 31,
1991 of $20.6 million.

     As a result of the Refinancing, the Company incurred an extraordinary
charge of $23.6 million for the early extinguishment of debt.  Such charge
reflects a $12.6 million expense for premiums paid in connection with the
Redemptions and the charge-off of $11.0 million for unamortized debt
financing costs related to the securities redeemed under the Redemptions.

Results of Operations - Pro Forma 

     The following discussion sets forth the pro forma results of operations
of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1993 as compared to the year
ended December 31, 1992, after giving effect to the acquisition of DM Can.

     The following table sets forth, for the years ended December 31, 1993
and 1992, certain consolidated pro forma data.  This data includes the
historical results of operations for the Company and DM Can and give effect
to the pro forma adjustments assuming the acquisition occurred at the
beginning of each year presented.  The pro forma adjustments are based upon
available information and upon certain assumptions that the Company believes
are reasonable.  The final purchase price allocation may differ from that
used for the pro forma data, although it is not expected that the final
allocation of purchase price will be materially different.  The unaudited pro
forma combined financial data do not purport to represent what the Company's
financial position or results of operations would actually have been had the
transactions in fact occurred on the dates or at the beginning of the period
indicated, or to project the Company's financial position or results of
operations for any future date or period.  This discussion should be read in
conjunction with the discussion of historical results of operations of the
Company for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.

     Management believes that pro forma income from operations in 1993


declined $6.0 million as compared to the prior year primarily as a result of
a one-time inventory reduction by Del Monte in anticipation of the sale of DM
Can to Containers and, to a lesser extent, due to lower vegetable pack sales
as a result of adverse growing conditions in the Midwest in the summer of
1993.

     The pro forma loss before income taxes for 1993 and 1992 was $8.1
million.  Management believes that this resulted from the one-time inventory
reduction and reduced demand for vegetable pack containers as referred to
above, offset by lower interest expense in 1993 due to the benefits realized
from the Refinancing.

Capital Resources and Liquidity 

     The Company's liquidity requirements arise primarily from its
obligations under the indebtedness incurred in connection with its
acquisitions, 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.  As described below,
beginning in December 1996 the Company's liquidity requirements may also be
affected by the interest associated with Holdings' indebtedness.

     On December 21, 1993 Silgan, Containers and Plastics entered into the
Credit Agreement to finance the acquisition of DM Can and to refinance and
repay in full all amounts owing under the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement.  In conjunction therewith the Banks loaned the Company $60.0
million of A Term Loans, $80.0 million of B Term Loans and $29.8 million of
working capital loans.  In addition, Holdings issued and sold 250,000 shares
of its Class B Common Stock for $15.0 million.  With these proceeds, the
Company (i) repaid $41.5 million of term loans and $60.8 million of working
capital loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement; (ii) acquired
from Del Monte substantially all the fixed assets and certain working capital
of Del Monte's container manufacturing business for approximately $73
million; and (iii) paid fees and expenses of $8.9 million.

     For 1993, the Company used cash generated from operations of $48.1
million and available cash balances of $2.7 million to fund capital
expenditures of $42.5 million, repay working capital loans of $7.2 million
(in addition to working capital loans which were repaid with proceeds from
the Credit Agreement), and pay $1.1 million of term loans.  During the year,
the Company increased its annual amount of capital spending in order to
reduce costs and to add incremental production capacity.  The increase in
inventory at December 31, 1993 as compared to the prior year principally
resulted from the inventory acquired as part of the acquisition of DM Can.
 
     In June 1992, to improve their financial flexibility, Holdings and
Silgan effected the Refinancing.  The Refinancing (i) lowered Holdings'
consolidated average cost of indebtedness by retiring the 14% Notes and the
Holdings Reset Debentures with new indebtedness bearing lower interest rates,
(ii) improved Silgan's liquidity and ability to further repay its
indebtedness by eliminating Silgan's obligation to pay cash dividends on the
Preferred Stock through the Preferred Stock Redemption and by deferring for
an additional two years (until December 1996) and reducing the cash interest
requirements on Holdings' indebtedness, (iii) provided Holdings with
additional financial flexibility by eliminating restrictions in the indenture
relating to the 14% Notes on Silgan's ability to pay dividends to Holdings in
order to fund interest payments on Holdings' indebtedness through the 14%
Notes Redemption and (iv) extended the average length of maturity of Silgan's
indebtedness by issuing the 11-3/4% Notes and the Secured Notes to refinance
$30 million of bank term loans and the 14% Notes.

     In connection with the Refinancing, Holdings and Silgan received $333.1
million in proceeds from the issuance of the Secured Notes, the 11-3/4%
Notes, and the Discount Debentures net of debt issuance costs of $17.3
million.  On June 29, 1992, Silgan repaid $30 million of term loans under the


Credit Agreement.  On July 29, 1992, Holdings paid $181.6 million to redeem
the Holdings Reset Debentures.  On August 16, 1992, Silgan paid $31.5 million
to redeem the Preferred Stock.  On August 28, 1992, Silgan paid $89.3 million
to redeem the 14% Notes.  

     The Company borrowed working capital loans of $19.2 million during the
year ended December 31, 1992 which, along with cash provided by operations
during 1992 of $15.4 million (which included payment of $17.7 million in cash
interest on the Holdings Reset Debentures) were used principally to fund
capital expenditures of $23 million, to make term loan repayments of $10.2
million under the Credit Agreement (in addition to the term loan repayment
made in connection with the Refinancing), to pay cash dividends of $1.1
million on the Preferred Stock and to increase outstanding cash balances by
$1.1 million.

     During 1991, cash provided from operations of $61.2 million was used to
fund capital expenditures of $21.8 million and scheduled bank term loan
repayments of $25 million.  The balance of the cash provided from operations
during the year of $14.4 million was used to repay working capital loans and
principally resulted from the receipt in January 1991 of $16 million from a
major customer on an account normally settled by the prior year's end.  In
November 1991, the Company completed the sale of its PET carbonated beverage
bottle business.  The proceeds of approximately $12 million, net of costs
associated with such sale, were principally used to repay bank term loans. 
Due to reduced working capital requirements, $4 million of working capital
loans was also repaid.

     Since a portion of the proceeds realized from the Credit Agreement on
December 21, 1993 were used to repay working capital loans under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company was able to reduce the amount of
its commitment for working capital loans.  Under the Credit Agreement, the
commitment for working capital loans was reduced by $41 million to $70
million.  As of December 31, 1993, the outstanding principal amount of
working capital loans was $2.2 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 $61.7 million.  The
decrease of $38.2 million in the outstanding principal amount of working
capital loans since December 31, 1992 resulted from the repayment of
approximately $30 million of working capital loans with proceeds from the
refinancing of the Credit Agreement as well as with cash generated from
operations.

     Because the Company sells metal containers used in vegetable and fruit
processing, its sales are seasonal.  As a result, a significant portion of
the Company's revenues are generated in the first nine months of the year. 
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 expects to incur short term indebtedness to finance
its working capital requirements, and it is estimated that approximately $50
million of the working capital revolver, including letters of credit, will be
utilized at its peak in July 1994.

     In addition to its operating cash needs, the Company's cash requirements
over the next several years are anticipated to consist primarily of (i)
annual capital expenditures of $25 million to $33 million (approximately $13
million of which is nondiscretionary in each year), (ii) principal
amortization payments of A Term Loans under the Credit Agreement of $20
million in each of 1994, 1995 and 1996, (iii) expenditures of approximately
$13 million associated with the rationalization of facilities related to the
acquisition of DM Can, (iv) the scheduled maturity on September 15, 1996 of
the working capital loans and $80 million of B Term Loans under the Credit
Agreement, (v) payments by Silgan to Holdings to fund Holdings' semi-annual
cash interest requirements of $18.2 million on the Discount Debentures
commencing in December 1996, (vi) the scheduled maturity of the $50 million


principal amount of the Secured Notes in 1997, and (vii) the Company's
interest requirements (including interest on working capital loans, the
principal amount of which will vary depending upon seasonal requirements, the
Secured Notes and bank term loans, all of which bear fluctuating rates of
interest).

     The Credit Agreement prohibits Silgan from paying any dividends or
making other distributions on its capital stock, making loans to or
transferring any assets to Holdings, merging or consolidating with Holdings
or assuming or guaranteeing any obligations of Holdings, although Silgan is
permitted to advance funds to Holdings to enable Holdings to pay certain
administrative expenses and taxes.  Accordingly, until the maturity
(scheduled to occur on September 15, 1996) or earlier repayment of borrowings
under the Credit Agreement (or the amendment or waiver of the restrictive
covenants contained therein), Holdings will be unable to use any amount of
cash generated by the operations of Silgan and its subsidiaries.  However,
interest on the Discount Debentures is not payable until December 15, 1996. 
Interest on the Discount Debentures is payable at a rate of 13-1/4% per annum
and commencing on December 15, 1996 semi-annual interest payments of $18.2
million will be required to be made thereon.  The ability of Holdings to pay
interest on the Discount Debentures on and after December 15, 1996 may depend
upon the ability of Silgan to pay dividends, or otherwise loan, advance or
transfer funds, to Holdings or the ability of Holdings to refinance the
Discount Debentures, obtain additional debt or equity financing or obtain
amendments to the indenture relating to the Discount Debentures.  There can
be no assurance that any such alternative, if pursued, would be accomplished,
or that any such alternative would be accomplished in sufficient time to
enable Holdings to make timely payments of interest on the Discount
Debentures.  Neither the Secured Notes nor the 11-3/4% Notes limits the
ability of Silgan to pay cash dividends to Holdings in order to enable
Holdings to pay interest on the Discount Debentures.  Otherwise, subject to
limited exceptions, the Secured Notes and the 11-3/4% Notes prohibit the
payment of dividends or other distributions by Silgan on its capital stock. 
Silgan has no obligation, legal or otherwise, to pay dividends or otherwise
loan, advance or transfer funds to Holdings in order to fund Holdings' debt
service requirements.  The funding requirements of Holdings to service its
indebtedness (beginning in December 1996) may be met by Silgan through cash
generated by operations or borrowings or by Holdings through refinancings of
its existing indebtedness or additional debt or equity financings.

     The Discount Debentures represent "applicable high yield discount
obligations" ("AHYDOs") within the meaning of Section 163(i) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Accordingly, the tax
deduction which would otherwise be available to Holdings in respect of the
accretion of interest on the Discount Debentures during their noncash
interest period ending June 15, 1996 ($109.6 million) has been and will
continue to be deferred, which, in turn, will increase the taxable income of
Holdings and reduce the after-tax cash flows of Holdings.  However, as a
result of Holdings' utilization of its net operating loss carryforward, which
currently amounts to approximately $105 million for regular federal income
tax purposes, the effect of such deferral on the regular federal income taxes
of Holdings has been and will continue to be mitigated until such net
operating loss carryforward is fully utilized.  

     In 1993, Holdings became subject to alternative minimum tax ("AMT"). 
Because Holdings has AMT net operating loss carryforwards, Holdings has
incurred and will continue to incur an AMT liability at a rate of 2%.  In
1995, Holdings anticipates that the AMT net operating loss carryforward will
have been fully utilized.  Thereafter, Holdings will incur an AMT liability
at a rate of 20% (or the applicable rate then in effect).  Any AMT paid is
allowed as an indefinite credit carryover against Holdings' regular tax
liability in the future when and if Holdings' regular tax liability exceeds
the AMT liability. 

     The deferred accreted interest will not be deductible until the
redemption, retirement or other repayment of the Discount Debentures (other


than with stock or debt of Holdings or a related party).  Until the deferred
accreted interest is deductible, except to the extent the net operating loss
carryforward is available, Holdings will realize taxable income sooner and in
a greater amount than if the deferred accreted interest on the Discount
Debentures were deductible as it accretes.  Depending upon its tax position
and financial condition and the benefit which may be available through the
deduction of the deferred accreted interest, Holdings could decide in the
future to refinance the Discount Debentures or a portion thereof prior to
their stated maturity date.  In such event, the full amount of the deferred
accreted interest (applicable to the Discount Debentures retired) should be
deductible under the carryback and carryforward rules under the Code unless
the holders of the Discount Debentures receive stock or debt of Holdings or a
related party in exchange for the Discount Debentures.  No assurance can be
given that Holdings will be able to refinance the Discount Debentures at such
time; however, management believes that application of the AHYDO rules will
not have a material adverse effect on Holdings' financial condition or
ability to repay the Discount Debentures.  In addition, the IRS has broad
authority to issue regulations under the AHYDO rules with retroactive effect
to prevent the avoidance of the purposes of those rules through agreements to
borrow amounts due under a debt instrument or other arrangements, and thus
these regulations, when issued, may affect the timing or availability of the
tax deductions for original issue discount on the Discount Debentures.

     Management believes that cash generated by operations and funds from
working capital borrowings under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to
meet the Company's expected operating needs, planned capital expenditures and
debt service requirements until the maturity of the working capital facility
under the Credit Agreement on September 15, 1996.  Management also believes
that it will be able to replace the working capital facility under the Credit
Agreement with another facility on or prior to September 15, 1996 on terms
which will be acceptable to the Company.  However, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to replace its working capital facility.  In
such event, the Company could be required to consider alternative equity or
debt financings in order to meet its cash needs.  The ability of the Company
to effect any such financing and the extent to which the Company may seek or
be required to obtain additional financing will depend upon a variety of
factors, including, the future performance of the Company and its
subsidiaries, which will be subject to prevailing economic conditions and to
financial, business and other factors (including the state of the economy and
the financial markets, demand for the products of the Company and its
subsidiaries, costs of raw materials, legislative and regulatory changes and
other factors beyond the control of the Company and its subsidiaries)
affecting the business and operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as
well as prevailing interest rates, actual amounts expended for capital
expenditures and other corporate purposes and the timing and amount of debt
prepayments or redemptions.

     The Credit Agreement, the Secured Notes and the indentures relating to
the 11-3/4% Notes and the Discount Debentures each contain restrictive
covenants that, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur
debt, sell assets and engage in certain transactions.  Management does not
expect these limitations to have a material effect on the Company's business
or results of operations.  The Company is in compliance with all financial
and operating covenants contained in such financing agreements and believes
that it will continue to be in compliance during 1994 with all such
covenants.

Effect of Interest Rate Fluctuations and Inflation

     Because the Company has indebtedness which bears interest at floating
rates, the Company's financial results will be sensitive to changes in
prevailing interest rates.  To mitigate the effect of significant changes in
interest rates, the Company may enter into interest rate protection
agreements (with counterparties that, in the Company's judgment, have
sufficient creditworthiness) with respect to a portion of its floating rate
indebtedness.  At December 31, 1993, the Company was not a party to any


interest rate protection agreement.

     Historically, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company,
other than to increase its cost of borrowing.  In general, the Company has
been able to increase the sales prices of its products to reflect any
increases in the prices of raw materials.

Impact of New Accounting Standards

     Postretirement Benefits.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted
SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions."  Under Statement No. 106 the Company is required to accrue the
cost of retiree health and other postretirement benefits during the years
that covered employees render service.  The cumulative effect of this
accounting change was to decrease net income by $5.0 million.  This change in
accounting principle, excluding the cumulative effect, decreased pretax
income for the year ended December 31, 1993 by $0.5 million.  Prior to 1993,
the Company recorded these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis, and the Company
has elected not to restate prior years for this change.  The new rules are
expected to result in an increase in net annual periodic postretirement
benefit costs of less than $1.0 million.  See Note 16 to consolidated
financial statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K.

     Income Taxes.  Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted SFAS No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The Company had previously reported under
SFAS No. 96 "Accounting for Income Taxes."  There was no effect for the
differences in methods at the date of adoption.  Furthermore, the adoption of
SFAS No. 109 had no effect on the Company's 1993 provision for income taxes. 
See Note 8 to consolidated financial statements of the Company included
elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Pension Plans

     The Company has established pension plans (the "Pension Plans") covering
substantially all of the salaried employees of Containers and Plastics,
respectively, including the executive officers (the "Containers Pension Plan"
and the "Plastics Pension Plan," respectively).  The Pension Plans are
defined benefit plans intended to be qualified pension plans under Section
401(a) of the Code, under which pension costs are determined annually on an
actuarial basis with contributions made accordingly.  The pension benefits at
normal retirement under each Pension Plan are generally comparable to the
benefits under the pension plan covering individuals at Nestle' Can or
Monsanto, as the case may be, at the time of acquisition in 1987.

     Certain salaried employees of Containers, including Containers'
executive officers, were covered by the Carnation Employees Plan Number Two
for United States Employees (the "Carnation Pension Plan") immediately prior
to the acquisition of Nestle' Can.  The Containers Pension Plan recognizes
prior service under the Carnation Pension Plan for purposes of eligibility,
vesting and benefit accrual.  The benefits payable at retirement under, or
upon vested termination from, the Containers Pension Plan are based on the
benefit formula and all other factors then in effect under the Containers
Pension Plan applied to all combined pension service.  Such benefit shall be
offset by the accrued benefit, if any, such employee is entitled to receive
under the Carnation Pension Plan as of August 31, 1987.

     Under the Containers Pension Plan, both the employer and participants
contribute.  Participants contribute approximately 3% of their annual
compensation.  The benefit for any participant thereunder is calculated under
the greater of either (i) a career average formula of the sum of, for each
year of participation up to March 31, 1991, 1% of annual base salary up to
$5,400 plus 2% of such salary over $5,400 or (ii) a final pay formula of the
average base salary over the final three years of employment multiplied by a
percentage (not to exceed 61-1/4%) based upon the participant's years of
credited service (not to exceed 35), less a percentage (not to exceed
approximately 50%) of such participant's primary social security benefit at
employment termination based upon the participant's years of credited service
(not to exceed 35).  Compensation covered by the Containers Pension Plan is a
participant's base salary exclusive of any bonus, overtime or other extra
compensation.  A participant becomes fully vested after five years of service
or upon reaching age 55, if earlier.

     The following table illustrates the estimated annual normal retirement
benefits that are payable under the Containers Pension Plan based upon the
final pay formula.  Such benefit levels assume retirement at age 65, the
years of service shown, continued existence of the Containers Pension Plan
without substantial change and payment in the form of a single life annuity
and includes benefits, if any, payable under the Carnation Pension Plan which
will be paid by that plan.

</TABLE> 


     Pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, there is a limit on the
amount of annual compensation which can be taken into account under the
Containers Pension Plan.  The dollar limit on compensation for 1993 was
$235,840.  The dollar limit on compensation for 1994 is $150,000.  The dollar
limit, where applicable, will reduce the amount of benefits payable to highly
compensated participants in the Containers Pension Plan.

     As of December 31, 1993, the years of credited service under the
Containers Pension Plan for each of the eligible executive officers named in
the Cash Compensation Table are as follows: James D. Beam, 6, Gary M. Hughes,
3, and Gerald T. Wojdon 34.

     In conjunction with the acquisition of DM Can, the employees of Del
Monte that are employed by Containers will participate in the Containers
Pension Plan.  Pursuant to the purchase agreement for the acquisition of DM
Can, Del Monte has agreed to transfer to the Containers Pension Plan assets
for benefits accrued for such employees while they were employed by Del
Monte.

     Certain salaried employees of Plastics, including Plastics' executive
officers, were covered by the Monsanto Company Salaried Employees' Pension
Plan (the "Monsanto Pension Plan") immediately prior to the acquisition of
Monsanto Plastic Containers.  The Plastics Pension Plan recognizes prior
service under the Monsanto Pension Plan for purposes of eligibility, vesting
and benefit accrual.  The benefits payable at retirement under, or upon
vested termination from, the Plastics Pension Plan are based on the benefit
formula and all other factors then in effect under the Plastics Pension Plan
applied to all combined pension service.  Such benefit is offset by the
accrued benefit, if any, such employee is entitled to receive under the
Monsanto Pension Plan as of August 31, 1987.

     Under the Plastics Pension Plan, pensions are based on the greatest of
(i) years of benefit service multiplied by 1.4% of Average Earnings, which is
defined as the greater of (a) average compensation received during the final
36 months of employment or (b) average compensation received during the
highest three of the final five calendar years of employment; (ii) years of
benefit service multiplied by 1.5% of Average Earnings less a 50% social
security offset; or (iii) years of benefit service multiplied by $30.00.  For
employees hired between April 1, 1986 and September 1, 1987, the formula is
the greater of (i) years of benefit service multiplied by 1.2% of Average
Earnings; or (ii) years of benefit service multiplied by 1.5% of Average
Earnings less a 50% social security offset.  For employees hired after
September 1, 1987, the formula is years of benefit service multiplied by 1.1%
of Average Earnings.  Average Earnings under the Plastics Pension Plan is a
participant's total cash income before deduction for contributions, if any,
to a plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code or Section 125 of the Code
less any moving expense allowance but, in no event, shall Average Earnings
exceed 125% of base pay of the participant.  A participant becomes fully
vested after five years of service or attainment of Normal Retirement Age (as
defined under the Plastics Pension Plan), if earlier.

     The following table illustrates the estimated annual normal retirement
benefits that are payable under the Plastics Pension Plan based upon the
greater of 1.4% of Average Earnings, without reduction for social security or
other offset amounts, or 1.5% of Average Earnings less a 50% social security
offset.  Such benefit levels assume retirement age at 65, the years of
service shown, continued existence of the Plastics Pension Plan without
substantial change and payment in the form of a single life annuity and
includes benefits, if any, payable under the Monsanto Pension Plan which will
be paid by that plan.

</TABLE> 


      Pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code, there is a limit on the
amount of annual compensation which can be taken into account under the
Plastics Pension Plan.  The dollar limit on compensation for 1993 was
$235,840.  The dollar limit on compensation for 1994 is $150,000.  The dollar
limit, where applicable, will reduce the amount of benefits payable to highly
compensated participants in the Plastics Pension Plan.

Stock Option Plans

     Containers, Plastics and Holdings have established separate but
virtually identical stock option plans entitled, respectively, the Silgan
Containers Corporation Amended and Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan (the
"Containers Plan"), the Silgan Plastics Corporation Amended and Restated 1989
Stock Option Plan (the "Plastics Plan") and the Silgan Holdings Inc. Amended
and Restated 1989 Stock Option Plan (the "Holdings Plan"; collectively, the
"Plans").  Under each such Plan, participants may be granted options to
purchase shares of common stock or restricted stock and/or SARs.  Options
granted may be either nonstatutory stock options or incentive stock options
under Section 422 of the Code.  SARs granted may be related to options
concurrently granted or independent of any options.

     The board of directors of each of the respective sponsoring companies,
through a committee, administers its respective plan and has the power to,
among other things, choose participants, the type of grant and all the terms
and conditions thereof, including number of shares covered by a grant and the
exercise price, if applicable.  Only officers (including executive officers)
and other key employees are eligible to participate in the plan sponsored by
their employer.  As of December 31, 1993, Containers and Plastics have
reserved 1,200 authorized but unissued shares of their respective common
stock, $.01 par value, for issuance under their respective plans, and
Holdings has reserved 15,000 authorized but unissued shares of its Class C
common stock, $.01 par value, for issuance under the Holdings Plan.

     Pursuant to the Merger Agreement dated April 28, 1989 between Silgan,
Holdings and Acquisition (the "Merger Agreement"), all outstanding options
and SARs granted under predecessor stock option plans to the Containers Plan,
Plastics Plan and Holdings Plan (the "Predecessor Option Plans") were
surrendered for cancellation and, in partial consideration therefor, holders,
including executive officers, were issued in 1989 nonstatutory options and
related SARs under each of the Plans, as appropriate.

     Generally, each option granted under the Plans becomes exercisable over
a period of five years, with 20% of the option having become exercisable on
June 30, 1990 and an additional 20% having become or becoming exercisable on
each anniversary thereafter.  The purchase price of each option granted under
the Containers Plan ranges from $2,122 to $2,456 per share.  The purchase
price of options granted under the Plastics Plan is $746 per share.  The
purchase price of options granted under the Holdings Plan is $35.00 per
share.  Each option granted under the Plans was granted with related SARs. 
The SARs extend to all option shares and provide for a payment by the
sponsoring company to the holder of an amount equal to the excess of the book
value of a share of the sponsoring company at the SAR exercise date or, if
applicable, the fair market value of such share at the SAR exercise date
after a public offering of such shares, over the exercise price of the SAR
multiplied by the number of shares involved in the SAR exercise.  Each option
and related SAR granted under each of the Plans expires on June 29, 1999 or
on such earlier date as the holder's employment shall terminate or within a
specified period after termination as provided in the respective Plans.

     All options granted under any of the Plans must be evidenced by an
option agreement between the sponsoring company and the option recipient
embodying all the terms and conditions of the option grant; provided,
however, that (i) all options must be granted before the respective Plan
expires, (ii) incentive stock options granted must comply with Section 422 of
the Code, (iii) all options must be exercisable no earlier than one year from
the date of grant, (iv) no option shall be transferable or assignable
otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during
the lifetime of the recipient, such option shall be exercisable only by the
recipient, (v) all options must expire or remain exercisable for a limited
time after termination of employment, all as specified in the respective


Plans, and (vi) upon exercise of all options, full payment for the shares
covered shall be made in cash, shares of common stock of the sponsoring
company already owned or a combination thereof.

     All SARs granted under any of the Plans must be evidenced by an
agreement containing the terms of exercise and manner of settlement;
provided, however, that (i) all SARs must be granted before the respective
Plan expires, (ii) SARs must be exercisable no earlier than one year from the
date of grant, (iii) SARs granted in tandem with options must have the same
terms and conditions as the related option and the exercise of a related SAR
extinguishes the related option to the extent exercised and vice versa and
(iv) SARs may contain a provision for automatic exercise on the last day of
the term thereof.

     Restricted stock issued under any of the Plans must bear an appropriate
legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable
thereto.  The sponsoring company has a right to purchase and participants
have a right to require the sponsoring company to repurchase its common stock
acquired pursuant to the respective Plan upon the occurrence of certain
events in accordance with such Plan.

     In the event of a public offering of any of Holdings' common stock or a
sale of Holdings to a third party, the options granted by Containers and
Plastics pursuant to their respective Plans and any stock issued upon
exercise of such options are convertible into either stock options or common
stock of Holdings.  The calculation of the number of shares to be issued upon
the conversion of such options or shares will be determined based upon a
valuation of Holdings and an allocation of such value among its subsidiaries
(after giving effect to, among other things, that portion of the outstanding
indebtedness of Holdings allocable to each such subsidiary).
  
Certain Employment Agreements

     Certain executive officers and other key employees of Containers and
Plastics (including Messrs. Beam and Wojdon) have executed employment
agreements.  The initial term of such employment agreements is generally
three years from their effective date and is automatically extended for
successive one year periods unless terminated pursuant to the terms of such
agreements.  Each such employment agreement provides for, among other things,
a minimum severance benefit equal to base salary and benefits for, in most
cases, a period of one year (or the remainder of the term of the agreement,
if longer) (i) if the employee is terminated by his employer for any reason
other than disability or for cause as specified in the agreement or (ii) if
the employee voluntarily terminates employment due to a demotion and, in some
cases, significant relocation, all as specified in the agreement.

     The foregoing summaries of the various benefit plans and agreements of
the Company are qualified by reference to such plans and agreements, copies
of certain of which have been filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form
10-K.

Description of Holdings Common Stock

     Certain of the statements contained herein are summaries of the detailed
provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is
filed herewith.

     Under the Certificate of Incorporation, Holdings has authority to issue
500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Holdings Class A Stock"), 667,500 shares of Class B Common Stock, par value
$.01 per share (the "Holdings Class B Stock"), and 1,000,000 shares of Class
C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Holdings Class C Stock" and,
together with the Holdings Class A Stock and Holdings Class B Stock, the
"Holdings Common Stock").  Holdings has an aggregate of 1,135,000 shares of
Holdings Common Stock outstanding as follows: (i) 417,500 shares of Holdings
Class A Stock; (ii) 667,500 shares of Holdings Class B Stock; and (iii)
50,000 shares of Holdings Class C Stock.  Except as described below, the
rights, privileges and powers of Holdings Class A Stock and Holdings Class B
Stock are identical, with each share of each class being entitled to one vote
on all matters to come before the stockholders of Holdings.

     Until the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the
Certificate of Incorporation and as described below), the affirmative vote of
the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Holdings
Class A Stock and Holdings Class B Stock, voting as separate classes, shall
be required for the approval of any matter to come before the stockholders of
Holdings, except that (i) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Holdings Class A Stock, voting as a separate class, have the sole right to
vote for the election and removal of three directors (the directors elected
by the holders of Holdings Class A Stock being referred to herein as "Class A
Directors"); (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of
Holdings Class B Stock, voting as a separate class, have the sole right to
vote for the election and removal of all directors other than the Class A
Directors (the directors elected by the holders of Holdings Class B Stock
being referred to herein as "Class B Directors"); and (iii) the vote of not
less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Holdings Class B Stock
shall be required in certain circumstances set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation.  The holders of Holdings Class C Stock have no voting rights
except as provided by applicable law and except that such holders are
entitled to vote as a separate class on certain amendments to the Certificate
of Incorporation as provided therein.  In the event Holdings sells shares of
any class of its common stock to the public, the distinctions between
Holdings Class A Stock and Holdings Class B Stock terminate, the powers,
including voting powers, of Holdings Class A Stock and Holdings Class B Stock
shall be identical upon compliance with certain provisions contained in the
Certificate of Incorporation, and any Regulated Stockholder (generally
defined to mean banks) will be entitled to convert all shares of Holdings
Class C Stock held by such stockholder into the same number of shares of
Holdings Class B Stock (or Holdings Class A Stock to the extent such Holdings
Class C Stock was issued upon conversion of Holdings Class A Stock).

     After a Change of Control, the affirmative vote of the holders of not
less than a majority of the outstanding shares of Holdings Class A Stock and
Holdings Class B Stock, voting together as a single class, will be required
for the approval of any matter to come before the stockholders of Holdings,
except that the provisions described in clauses (i) and (ii) in the preceding
paragraph shall continue to apply from and after a Change of Control, and
except as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation with respect
to its amendment.  Also, after a Change of Control, the number of Class B
Directors will be increased to five.



     In the event that a vacancy among the Class A Directors or the Class B
Directors occurs at any time prior to the election of directors at the next
scheduled annual meeting of stockholders, the vacancy shall be filled, in the
case of the Class A Directors, by either (i) the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Holdings Class A Stock, at a special
meeting of stockholders, or (ii) by written consent of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Holdings Class A Stock, and, in the
case of the Class B Directors, by either (i) the vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Holdings Class B Stock at a special
meeting or stockholders, or (ii) by written consent of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Holdings Class B Stock.

     A "Change of Control" is defined in the Certificate of Incorporation to
include the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) Messrs. Silver and
Horrigan shall collectively own, directly or indirectly, less than one-half
of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Holdings Class A Stock owned
by them directly or indirectly on June 30, 1989 on a common stock equivalent
basis, or (ii) the acceleration of the indebtedness under the Credit
Agreement or the Discount Debentures, as a result of the occurrence of an
event of default thereunder relating to a payment default or a financial
covenant event of default.

Description of the Holdings Organization Agreement

     Concurrently with the issuance and sale to First Plaza of the Holdings
Stock, Holdings, The Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund II, L.P. ("MSLEF
II"), Bankers Trust New York Corporation ("BTNY"), First Plaza and Messrs. R.
Philip Silver and D. Greg Horrigan entered into the Amended and Restated
Organization Agreement dated as of December 21, 1993 (the "Holdings
Organization Agreement") that provides for the termination of the
Organization Agreement dated as of June 30, 1989 by and among Holdings, MSLEF
II, BTNY and Messrs. Silver and Horrigan (except for the indemnification
provisions thereof, which provisions survive) and for the investment by First
Plaza in Holdings and the relationships among the stockholders and between
the stockholders and Holdings.  Certain of the statements contained herein
are summaries of the detailed provisions of the Holdings Organization
Agreement and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Holdings
Organization Agreement.

     The Holdings Organization Agreement prohibits the disposition of
Holdings' common stock without the prior written consent of Messrs. Silver
and Horrigan and MSLEF II, except for (i) dispositions to affiliates (which,
in the case of First Plaza, includes any successor or underlying trust, and
which, in the case of MSLEF II, does not include any person which is not an
Investment Entity (as defined below)), (ii) dispositions to certain family
members of Messrs. Silver and Horrigan or trusts for the benefit of those
family members, (iii) certain transfers among MSLEF II, BTNY, First Plaza and
Messrs. Silver and Horrigan that comply with certain rights of first refusal
set forth in the Holdings Organization Agreement, which rights expire on June
30, 1994, (iv) dispositions to certain parties at any time on or after June
30, 1994, subject to certain other rights of first refusal discussed below,
(v) the sale by First Plaza to Holdings of all of the Holdings Stock acquired
by First Plaza on December 21, 1993, upon the exercise of Holdings' call
option as described below, and (vi) dispositions in connection with an
initial public offering of the common stock of Holdings, as described below. 
Any transfer of Holdings' common stock (other than transfers described in
clauses (v) and (vi) of the preceding sentence) will be void unless the
transferee agrees in writing prior to the proposed transfer to be bound by
the terms of the Holdings Organization Agreement.

     At any time on or after June 30, 1994, MSLEF II may effect a sale of
stock to an Investment Entity (generally defined as any person who (i) is
primarily engaged in the business of investing in securities of other
companies and not taking an active role in the management or operations of
such companies and (ii) does not permit the participation or involvement in
any way in the business or affairs of Holdings of a person who is engaged in


a business not described in clause (i)) or, in the event of certain defaults
under the amended and restated management services agreement by and between
S&H, Inc., a company wholly-owned by Messrs. Silver and Horrigan ("S&H"), and
Holdings (described below under "Description of Management Agreements"), to a
third party, in each case, if it first offers such stock to: (a) Holdings,
(b) the Group (defined generally to mean, collectively, Silver and Horrigan
and their respective affiliates and certain related family transferees and
estates, with Silver and his affiliates and certain related family
transferees and estates being deemed to be collectively one member of the
Group, and Horrigan and his affiliates and certain related family transferees
and estates being deemed to be collectively one member of the Group) and (c)
BTNY, in each case on the same terms and conditions as the proposed sale to
an Investment Entity or the proposed third party sale.  In addition, in any
such sale by MSLEF II, BTNY and First Plaza must be given the opportunity to
sell the same percentage of its stock to such Investment Entity or third
party.  At any time on or after June 30, 1994, each member of the Group may
transfer shares of stock to a third party if such holder first offers such
shares to: (a) the other member of the Group, (b) Holdings, (c) MSLEF II and
(d) BTNY, in each case on the same terms and conditions as the proposed third
party sale.  At any time on or after June 30, 1994, BTNY may effect a sale of
stock to a third party if it first offers such shares to: (a) Holdings, (b)
MSLEF II and (c) the Group, in each case on the same terms and conditions as
the proposed third party sale.

     At any time on or after June 30, 1994, either MSLEF II or the Group has
the right to require a recapitalization transaction.  A recapitalization
transaction is defined as any transaction (such as a merger, consolidation,
exchange of securities or liquidation) involving Holdings pursuant to which
MSLEF II and the Group retain their proportionate ownership interest in the
surviving entity if the following conditions are met:  (i) the value of any
securities of the surviving entity acquired or retained by the party not
initiating the recapitalization transaction does not exceed 67% of the
difference between (x) the value of such securities and any cash received by
such party and (y) all taxes payable as a result of the transaction, (ii) if
MSLEF II initiates the recapitalization transaction and will not own all the
voting equity securities of the surviving entity not owned by the Group, the
Group shall have the right to purchase such securities, (iii) if the Group
initiates the recapitalization transaction and will not own all of the voting
equity securities of the surviving entity, MSLEF II shall have the right to
purchase such securities, and (iv) the majority in principal amount of the
indebtedness incurred in connection with such transaction shall be held for
at least one year by persons not affiliated with either MSLEF II or any
member of the Group.

     The Holdings Organization Agreement provides that in the event that
either Mr. Silver or Mr. Horrigan (each, a "Manager") dies or becomes
permanently disabled prior to June 30, 1994 (an "Inactive Manager"), such
Inactive Manager or his affiliates shall have the right to sell to Holdings
all Holdings Class A Stock held by the Inactive Manager at the Fair Market
Value (as defined in the Holdings Organization Agreement) of such stock,
provided that such stock must first be offered to the remaining Manager at
the same price.  The Holdings Organization Agreement also provides that if
either Mr. Silver or Mr. Horrigan dies, becomes permanently disabled or is
convicted of any felony directly related to the business of Holdings prior to
June 30, 1994, the other Manager and his affiliates shall have the right to
purchase all of such person's Holdings Class A Stock at a price equal to Fair
Market Value in the case of death or disability and the Adjusted Book Value
(as defined in the Holdings Organization Agreement) in the case of a
conviction as stated above, and Holdings shall have the right to purchase all
such stock not purchased by the other Manager.

     At any time prior to December 21, 1998, Holdings shall have the right
and option to purchase from First Plaza, and First Plaza shall have the
obligation to sell to Holdings, all (but not less than all) of the Holdings
Stock for a price per share equal to the greater of (i) $120 per share and
(ii) the purchase price necessary to yield on an annual basis a compound


return on investment of forty percent (40%).  The number of shares subject to
such call and the call purchase price shall be proportionately adjusted to
take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
subdivision or other recapitalization of the capital stock of Holdings.

     The Holdings Organization Agreement provides that at any time after June
15, 1996, the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of
Holdings Class A Stock and Holdings Class B Stock (considered together as a
class) may by written notice to Holdings require Holdings to pursue the first
public offering of Holdings' common stock pursuant to an effective
registration statement (an "IPO") on the terms and conditions provided in the
Holdings Organization Agreement.  In addition to the portion of the IPO which
shall consist of shares of Holdings' common stock to be sold by Holdings, the
IPO may also include a secondary tranche consisting of shares of Holdings'
common stock to be sold by stockholders of Holdings.

     Pursuant to the provisions of the Holdings Organization Agreement, each
of MSLEF II, BTNY, First Plaza and Messrs. Silver and Horrigan has agreed to
take all action (including voting its shares of Holdings' common stock) to
approve the adoption of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Holdings, as amended, the Amended and Restated By-laws of Holdings, and the
Amended and Restated Management Services Agreement (the "Post-IPO Management
Services Contract"), in each case substantially in the form agreed to
pursuant to the Holdings Organization Agreement and in each case to become
effective at the time an IPO is completed.  The Post-IPO Management Services
Contract provides, among other things, for the payment to S&H of management
fees of $2.0 million annually plus reimbursement of expenses.  See "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions -- Management Agreements" below.

     Pursuant to the provisions of the Holdings Organization Agreement, MSLEF
II has agreed that it will not vote its shares of Holdings Class B Stock in
favor of any changes in the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of
Holdings which would adversely affect the rights of First Plaza, unless First
Plaza has consented in writing to such change.  In addition, so long as First
Plaza shall hold not less than 18.73% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Holdings Class B Stock, First Plaza shall have the right to nominate one of
the Class B Directors to be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders in
accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, and the
holders of Holdings Class B Stock parties to the Holdings Organization
Agreement have agreed to vote their shares of Holdings Class B Stock in favor
of such nominee.

     In addition, in the event that First Plaza, MSLEF II or BTNY shall
purchase any shares of Holdings Class A Stock, such purchaser has agreed that
it will vote such shares in accordance with the directions of the "holders of
a majority of the shares of Class A Stock held by the Group" (defined
generally to mean the holders of a majority of the aggregate of 417,500
shares of Holdings Class A Stock held by Messrs. Silver and Horrigan at
December 21, 1993, which at the time of any such determination have been
continuously and are held by the Group) until such time as a Change of
Control has occurred.  In the event that Messrs. Silver or Horrigan shall
purchase any shares of Holdings Class B Stock, such purchaser agrees that it
will vote such shares in accordance with the directions of MSLEF II, unless
MSLEF II and First Plaza (together with their respective affiliates) shall
hold directly or indirectly less than one-half of the aggregate number of
shares of Holdings Class B Stock held by MSLEF II and First Plaza immediately
following the issuance and sale of the Holdings Stock to First Plaza on
December 21, 1993.

     Pursuant to the terms of the Holdings Organization Agreement, Holdings
entered into an amended and restated management services agreement with S&H,
a corporation wholly owned by Messrs. Silver and Horrigan.  See "Description
of Management Agreements" below.

     The Holdings Organization Agreement terminates upon the earlier of (i)
the mutual agreement of the parties, (ii) such time as it becomes unlawful,


(iii) the completion of an IPO, and (iv) June 30, 1999.  The parties may
agree to extend the term of the Holdings Organization Agreement.

Description of the Holdings Stockholders Agreement

     Concurrently with the issuance and sale to First Plaza of the Holdings
Stock, Holdings, MSLEF II, BTNY, First Plaza and Messrs. Silver and Horrigan
entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated as of December 21, 1993 (the
"Stockholders Agreement") that provides for certain prospective rights and
obligations among the stockholders and between the stockholders and Holdings. 
The operative provisions of the Stockholders Agreement do not take effect
until after the occurrence of an IPO, at which time the Holdings Organization
Agreement will have terminated in accordance with its terms as described
above under "Description of the Holdings Organization Agreement."  Certain of
the statements contained herein are summaries of the detailed provisions of
the Stockholders Agreement and are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the Stockholders Agreement.

     The Stockholders Agreement provides that for a period of eight years
after the IPO, each of MSLEF II and First Plaza shall have the right to
demand two separate registrations of its shares of Holdings' common stock
(equalling a total of four separate demand registrations); provided, however,
that such demand right will terminate as to MSLEF II or First Plaza, as the
case may be, at such time as MSLEF II or First Plaza, as the case may be,
together with its affiliates, owns less than five percent of the issued and
outstanding shares of Holdings' common stock at any time.  If, at any time or
from time to time for a period of eight years after the IPO, Holdings shall
determine to register Holdings' common stock (other than in connection with
certain non-underwritten offerings), Holdings will offer each of MSLEF II,
BTNY, First Plaza and Messrs. Silver and Horrigan the opportunity to register
shares of Holdings' common stock it holds in a "piggyback registration."

     The Stockholders Agreement prohibits the transfer prior to June 30, 1999
(or, in the case of any restriction applicable to First Plaza, December 21,
1998) by MSLEF II, First Plaza or Messrs. Silver or Horrigan of Holdings'
common stock without the prior written consent of Messrs. Silver and Horrigan
and MSLEF II, except for (i) transfers made in connection with a public
offering or a Rule 144 Open Market Transaction (as defined in the
Stockholders Agreement), (ii) transfers made to an affiliate, which, in the
case of a transfer by First Plaza or MSLEF II to an affiliate, must be an
Investment Entity (defined generally to be any person who is primarily
engaged in the business of investing in securities of other companies and not
taking an active role in the management or operations of such companies),
(iii) transfers made to certain family members of Messrs. Silver and Horrigan
or trusts for the benefit of those family members, (iv) certain transfers by
First Plaza to a third party that comply with certain rights of first refusal
of the Group and MSLEF II set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, (v)
certain transfers by MSLEF II to an Investment Entity or, in the event of
certain defaults under the amended and restated management services agreement
between S&H and Holdings, to a third party, that comply with certain rights
of first refusal of the Group set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, (vi)
certain transfers by either member of the Group to a third party that comply
with certain rights of first refusal of the other member of the Group and
MSLEF II set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, and (vii) in the case of
MSLEF II, a distribution of all or substantially all of the shares of
Holdings' common stock then owned by MSLEF II to the partners of MSLEF II (a
"MSLEF Distribution").  Notwithstanding the foregoing, MSLEF II may pledge
its shares of Holdings' common stock to a lender or lenders reasonably
acceptable to Holdings to secure a loan or loans to MSLEF II.  In the event
of any proposed foreclosure of such pledge, such shares will be subject to
certain rights of first refusal of the Group set forth in the Stockholders
Agreement.

     The Stockholders Agreement provides that until December 21, 1998, for so
long as MSLEF II and its affiliates (excluding the limited partners of MSLEF
II who may acquire shares of Holdings' common stock from MSLEF II in a MSLEF


Distribution) shall hold at least one-half of the number of shares of
Holdings' common stock held by MSLEF II on December 21, 1993 (as adjusted, if
necessary, to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination
of shares, subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of Holdings),
the parties and their Restricted Voting Transferees (as defined in the
Stockholders Agreement) shall use their best efforts (including to vote any
shares of Holdings' common stock owned or controlled by such person or
otherwise) to cause the nomination and election of two (2) members of the
Board of Directors of Holdings to be chosen by MSLEF II; provided, however,
that each such nominee shall be (i) either an employee of Morgan Stanley
whose primary responsibility is managing investments for MSLEF II (or a
successor or related partnership) or (ii) a person reasonably acceptable to
the Group not engaged in (as a director, officer, employee, agent or
consultant or as a holder of more than five percent of the equity securities
of) a business competitive with that of Holdings.  

     In addition, until December 21, 1998, for so long as the Group shall
hold at least one-half of the number of shares of Holdings' common stock held
by it in the aggregate on December 21, 1993 (as adjusted, if necessary, to
take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of Holdings), the
parties and their Restricted Voting Transferees shall use their best efforts
(including to vote any shares of Holdings' common stock owned or controlled
by such person or otherwise) to cause the nomination and election of two (2)
individuals nominated by the "holders of a majority of the shares of [c]ommon
[s]tock held by the Group" (as such phrase is defined in the Stockholders
Agreement) as members of the Board of Directors of Holdings; provided,
however, that at least one (1) of such nominees shall be Silver or Horrigan
and the other person, if not Silver or Horrigan, shall be a person reasonably
acceptable to MSLEF II, so long as MSLEF II and its affiliates (other than
any affiliate which is not an Investment Entity and excluding the limited
partners of MSLEF II who may acquire shares of Holdings' common stock from
MSLEF II in a MSLEF distribution) shall hold at least one-half of the number
of shares of Holdings' common stock held by MSLEF II at the Closing Date (as
adjusted, if necessary, to take into account any stock dividend, stock split,
combination of shares, subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock
of Holdings).  

     Subject to the terms of the preceding two paragraphs, for so long as the
Group shall hold at least one-half of the number of shares of Holdings'
common stock held by it in the aggregate at the Closing Date (as adjusted, if
necessary, to take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination
of shares, subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of Holdings),
First Plaza and its Restricted Voting Transferees shall vote all shares of
Holdings' common stock held by them in favor of any other directors standing
for election to Holdings' Board of Directors for whom the holders of a
majority of the shares of Holdings' common stock held by the Group shall
direct First Plaza to vote.

     The Stockholders Agreement further provides that until December 21,
1998, MSLEF II and its Restricted Voting Transferees shall vote all shares of
Holdings' common stock held by them against any unsolicited merger, or sale
of Holdings' business or its assets, if such transaction is opposed by the
holders of a majority of the shares of common stock held by the Group, unless
as of the applicable record date for such vote, the Group holds less than
ninety percent (90%) of the number of shares of Holdings' common stock held
by it in the aggregate at the Closing Date (as adjusted, if necessary, to
take into account any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares,
subdivision or recapitalization of the capital stock of Holdings).  Until
December 21, 1998, First Plaza and its Restricted Voting Transferees shall
vote all shares of common stock held by them against any unsolicited merger,
or sale of Holdings' business or its assets, if such transaction is opposed
by the holders of a majority of the shares of common stock held by the Group;
provided, however, that First Plaza and its Restricted Voting Transferees
shall not be required to vote their shares of Holdings' common stock in
accordance with the foregoing if (i) in connection with such merger or sale,


(x) First Plaza and its Restricted Voting Transferees propose to sell or
otherwise transfer all of their shares of Holdings' common stock to a third
party for aggregate cash consideration of less than $10 million and (y) the
Group and/or MSLEF II has not exercised their right of first refusal in
respect of such sale or transfer by First Plaza or such right of first
refusal in respect of the shares of Holdings' common stock held by First
Plaza shall have terminated, or (ii) as of the applicable record date for
such vote, the Group holds less than ninety percent (90%) of the number of
shares of Holdings' common stock held by it in the aggregate at the Closing
Date (as adjusted, if necessary, to take into account any stock dividend,
stock split, combination of shares, subdivision or recapitalization of the
capital stock of Holdings).


Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

Management Agreements

     Holdings, Silgan, Containers and Plastics each entered into an amended
and restated management services agreement dated as of December 21, 1993
(collectively, the "Management Agreements") with S&H to replace in its
entirety its existing management services agreement, as amended, with S&H. 
Pursuant to the Management Agreements, S&H provides Holdings, Silgan,
Containers and Plastics and their respective subsidiaries with general
management and administrative services (the "Services").  The Management
Agreements provide for payments to S&H (i) on a monthly basis, of $5,000 plus
an amount equal to 2.475% of consolidated earnings before depreciation,
interest and taxes of Holdings and its subsidiaries ("Holdings EBDIT"), for
such calendar month until Holdings EBDIT for the calendar year shall have
reached an amount set forth in the Management Agreements for such calendar
year (the "Scheduled Amount") and 1.65% of Holdings EBDIT for such calendar
month to the extent that Holdings EBDIT for the calendar year shall have
exceeded the Scheduled Amount but shall not have been greater than an amount
(the "Maximum Amount") set forth in the Management Agreements (the "Monthly
Management Fee") and (ii) on a quarterly basis, of an amount equal to 2.475%
of Holdings EBDIT for such calendar quarter until Holdings EBDIT for the
calendar year shall have reached the Scheduled Amount and 1.65% of Holdings
EBDIT for such calendar quarter to the extent that Holdings EBDIT for the
calendar year shall have exceeded the Scheduled Amount but shall not have
been greater than the Maximum Amount (the "Quarterly Management Fee").  The
Scheduled Amount was $65.5 million for the calendar year 1993 and increases
by $6.0 million for each year thereafter.  The Maximum Amount is $90.197
million for the calendar year 1994, $95.758 million for the calendar year
1995, $98.101 million for the calendar year 1996, $100.504 million for the
calendar year 1997, $102.964 million for the calendar year 1998 and $105.488
million for the calendar year 1999.  The Management Agreements provide that
upon receipt by Silgan of a notice from Bankers Trust that certain events of
default under the Credit Agreement have occurred, the Quarterly Management
Fee shall continue to accrue, but shall not be paid to S&H until the
fulfillment of certain conditions, as set forth in the Management Agreements.

     The Management Agreements continue in effect until the earliest of: (i)
the completion of an IPO; (ii) June 30, 1999; (iii) at the option of each of
the respective companies, the failure or refusal of S&H to perform its
obligations under the Management Agreements, if such failure continues
unremedied for more than 60 days after written notice of its existence shall
have been given; (iv) at the option of MSLEF II (a) if S&H or Holdings is
declared insolvent or bankrupt or a voluntary bankruptcy petition is filed by
either of them, (b) upon the occurrence of any of the following events with
respect to S&H or Holdings if not cured, dismissed or stayed within 45 days:
the filing of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy, the appointment of a
trustee or receiver or the institution of a proceeding seeking a
reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or dissolution, (c) if S&H or
Holdings voluntarily seeks a reorganization or arrangement or makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or (d) upon the death or permanent
disability of both of Messrs. Silver and Horrigan; and (v) the occurrence of


a Change of Control (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation
of Holdings and as described under "Description of Holdings Common Stock"
above).

     In addition to the management fees described above, the Management
Agreements provide for the payment to S&H on the closing date of the IPO of
an amount, if any (the "Additional Amount") equal to the sum of the present
values, calculated for each year or portion thereof, of (i) the amount of the
annual management fee for such year or portion thereof that otherwise would
have been payable to S&H for each such year or portion thereof for the period
beginning as of the time of the IPO and ending on June 30, 1999 (the
"Remaining Term") pursuant to the provisions described in the preceding
paragraph but for the occurrence of the IPO, minus (ii) the amount payable to
S&H for the Remaining Term at the rate of $2.0 million per year.  The
Management Agreements further provide that the amounts described in clause
(i) of the first sentence of this paragraph will be calculated based upon
S&H's good faith projections of Holdings EBDIT for each such year (or portion
thereof) during the Remaining Term (the "Estimated Fees"), which projections
shall be made on a basis consistent with S&H's past projections.  The
difference between the amount of Estimated Fees for any particular year and
$2 million shall be discounted to present value at the time of the IPO using
a discount rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, compounded annually.  

     Additionally, the Management Agreements provide that Holdings, Silgan,
Containers, Plastics and their respective subsidiaries shall reimburse S&H,
on a monthly basis, for all out-of-pocket expenses paid by S&H in providing
the Services, including fees and expenses to consultants, subcontractors and
other third parties, in connection with such Services.  All fees and expenses
paid to S&H under each of the Management Agreements are credited against
amounts paid to S&H under the other Management Agreements.  Under the terms
of the Management Agreements, Holdings, Silgan, Containers and Plastics have
agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify S&H and its affiliates,
officers, directors, employees, subcontractors, consultants or controlling
persons against any losses, damages, costs and expenses they may sustain
arising in connection with the Management Agreements.

     The Management Agreements also provide that S&H may select a consultant,
subcontractor or agent to provide the Services.  S&H has retained Morgan
Stanley to render financial advisory services to S&H.  In connection with
such retention, S&H has agreed to pay Morgan Stanley a fee equal to 9.1% of
the fees paid to S&H under the Management Agreements.

     The Credit Agreement does not permit the payment of fees under the
Management Agreements above amounts provided for therein.

     For the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, pursuant to the
arrangements described above, S&H earned aggregate fees, including
reimbursable expenses and fees payable to Morgan Stanley, of $4.4 million,
$4.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, from Holdings, Silgan,
Containers, Plastics, SPHI and Silgan PET and during 1993, 1992 and 1991,
Morgan Stanley earned fees of $337,000, $324,000 and $306,000, respectively.

Other

     In connection with the 1989 Mergers, subject to the provisions of
Delaware law, Silgan agreed to indemnify each director, officer, employee,
fiduciary and agent of Silgan, Containers, Plastics and its subsidiaries and
their respective affiliates against costs, expenses, judgments, fines,
losses, claims, damages and settlements (except for any settlement effected
without Silgan's written consent) in connection with any claims, actions,
suits, proceedings or investigations arising out of or related to the 1989
Mergers or their financing, including certain liabilities arising under the
federal securities laws.

     Simultaneously with the consummation of the 1989 Mergers, a tax
allocation agreement was entered into by Holdings, Silgan, Plastics and


Containers that permits Silgan and its subsidiaries to use the tax benefits
provided by the debt of Holdings and permits funds to be provided to Holdings
from Silgan and its subsidiaries in an amount equal to the federal and state
tax liabilities of Holdings, as the parent of the consolidated group
consisting of Holdings, Silgan and its Subsidiaries.  Such tax allocation
agreement has been amended and restated from time to time to include new
members of the consolidated group.  

     In connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement under the
Refinancing, the lenders thereunder (including Bankers Trust) received
certain fees amounting to $1.4 million.  In connection with the Refinancing,
Morgan Stanley received as compensation for its services as underwriter for
the Notes Offering and Holdings Debentures Offering and as initial purchaser
of the Secured Notes an aggregate of $11.5 million.

     In connection with the Credit Agreement entered into in December 1993,
the Banks (including Bankers Trust) received certain fees amounting to $8.1
million.

     G. William Sisley, Secretary of the Holdings and Silgan, is a partner in
the law firm of Winthrop, Stimson, Putnam & Roberts.  Winthrop, Stimson,
Putnam & Roberts provides legal services to Holdings, Silgan and their
subsidiaries.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Silgan Holdings Inc.


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Silgan
Holdings  Inc.  as  of  December  31,  1993  and  1992,  and  the   related
consolidated statements of operations,  deficiency in stockholders'  equity
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1993.  Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in
the index at Item 14(a).  These financial statements and schedules are  the
responsibility of  the  Company's management.    Our responsibility  is  to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our
audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that  we plan and perform the audit  to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.   An audit includes examining,  on a test  basis,
evidence  supporting  the   amounts  and  disclosures   in  the   financial
statements.  An  audit also  includes assessing  the accounting  principles
used and significant estimates  made by management,  as well as  evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.   We believe that our  audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our  opinion, the  consolidated  financial statements  referred  to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated  financial
position of Silgan  Holdings Inc. at  December 31, 1993  and 1992, and  the
consolidated results of its operations and  its cash flows for each of  the
three years  in the  period ended  December 31, 1993,  in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.   Also,  in  our  opinion,  the
related financial statement schedules, when  considered in relation to  the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

     As discussed in Note  2 to the  consolidated financial statements,  in
1993, the  Company  changed its  method  of accounting  for  postretirement
benefits other than pensions, income taxes and postemployment benefits.

                           SILGAN HOLDINGS INC.
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991
                           (Dollars in thousands
                        except for per share data)


1.   Basis of Presentation

Silgan  Holdings  Inc.   ("Holdings",  together  with   its  wholly   owned
subsidiary, "the Company"), a company  controlled by Silgan management  and
Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund II, L.P. ("MSLEF II"), an affiliate of
Morgan Stanley &  Co. Incorporated ("MS  & Co."), own  all the  outstanding
common stock of Silgan  Corporation ("Silgan").   Silgan has two  operating
subsidiaries,  Silgan  Containers  Corporation  ("Containers")  and  Silgan
Plastics Corporation ("Plastics").

The Company  is  engaged  in the  packaging  business  which  includes  the
manufacture and sale of steel,  aluminum and paperboard containers,  mainly
to processors and packagers of food  products, and the design,  manufacture
and  sale  of  various  plastic  containers,  mainly  for  food,  beverage,
household, pharmaceutical and personal care products.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include  the accounts of the  Company
and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have  been
eliminated.  Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are
translated at  rates of  exchange  in effect  at  the balance  sheet  date.
Income amounts are translated at the average of monthly exchange rates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts  receivable  consist  primarily  of  amounts  due  from   domestic
companies.  Credit  is extended based  on an evaluation  of the  customer's
financial condition and collateral is not generally required.  The  Company
maintains an allowance for  doubtful accounts at  a level which  management
believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses.

Inventories

Inventories are  stated at  the lower  of cost  or market  (net  realizable
value).  Finished goods, work-in-process  and raw material inventories  are
principally accounted for by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO).

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded  at cost and are depreciated  on
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (ranging from  3
to 25 years).  Maintenance and  repair expenditures are charged to  expense
as incurred; major  renewals and betterments  are capitalized.   The  total
amount of repairs and maintenance expense for the years ended December  31,
1993, 1992 and 1991 was $17,072, $14,962 and $16,507, respectively.

                        except for per share data)


2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Other Assets

Cost in excess  of fair  value of  net assets  acquired is  amortized on  a
straight-line basis over a period not exceeding forty years.  Covenants not
to compete are being  amortized over five years.   Debt issuance costs  are
being amortized over  the terms  of the related  debt agreements  (3 to  10
years).

Cash flows

For purposes  of the  consolidated statements  of cash  flows, the  Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months  or
less at the time of purchase and investments in money market accounts to be
cash equivalents.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and  cash equivalents:  The carrying  amount reported  in the  balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

Short and long-term debt: The carrying amounts of the Company's  borrowings
under its working  capital loans and  variable-rate borrowings  approximate
their fair value.   The fair values of  fixed-rate borrowings are based  on
quoted market prices.

Letters of  Credit: Fair  values of  the Company's  outstanding letters  of
credit are based on current contractual amounts outstanding.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

Postretirement Benefits Other  than Pensions:   Effective January 1,  1993,
the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards  ("SFAS")
No. 106,  "Employers' Accounting  for  Postretirement Benefits  Other  Than
Pensions".   Under SFAS  No. 106,  the Company  is required  to accrue  the
estimated cost of retiree health  and other postretirement benefits  during
the years  that covered  employees  render service.    Prior to  1993,  the
Company recorded these benefits on the  pay-as-you-go basis.  As  permitted
by the Statement, prior years' financials have not been restated.  There is
no tax  effect of  the cumulative  charge  due to  the net  operating  loss
position of the Company.  See Note 16 - Postretirement Benefits Other  than
Pensions.

                     DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991
                           (Dollars in thousands
                        except for per share data)


2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes:  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for  Income Taxes".   SFAS  No.  109 requires  the use  of  the
liability method of accounting  for deferred income  taxes.  The  provision
for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes currently
payable and those  deferred because  of temporary  differences between  the
financial statement and tax bases of  assets and liabilities.  The  Company
had previously reported under SFAS No.  96, "Accounting for Income  Taxes".
There was no effect for the difference in methods at the date of  adoption.
See Note 8 - Income Taxes.

Postemployment Benefits:  During  1993, the Company  adopted SFAS No.  112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  The cumulative effect
as of January 1, 1993 of this accounting change was to decrease net  income
by $1,276.  There was no tax effect of the charge due to the net  operating
loss position of the Company.  There was no effect on income before  income
taxes as a result of this change in accounting principle.

3.   Acquisitions

On December 21, 1993, Containers acquired from Del Monte Corporation  ("Del
Monte") substantially all of the fixed  assets and certain working  capital
of its container manufacturing  business in the  United States ("DM  Can").
The purchase price, which is subject  to post-closing adjustments, for  the
assets acquired  and  the  assumption  of  certain  specified  liabilities,
including related  transaction costs,  was $73,865.   The  acquisition  was
accounted for as a purchase transaction and the results of operations  have
been included with the  Company's results from the  acquisition date.   The
total purchase cost was allocated first to the tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their  respective fair values as  determined
from preliminary appraisals and valuations and the excess was allocated  to
cost over fair value of assets  acquired.  The aggregate purchase cost  and
its preliminary allocation to the assets and liabilities is as follows:

     Net working capital acquired                    $26,400
     Property, plant and equipment                    57,238
     Cost in excess of fair value of assets acquired   6,587
     Other liabilities assumed                       (16,360)
                                                     $73,865

Set forth below  is the Company's  summary unaudited pro  forma results  of
operations for the years ended December  31, 1993 and 1992.  The  unaudited
pro forma  results of  operations  for the  year  ended December  31,  1993
include the historical results of DM Can for the period ended December  21,
1993 and give effect to the pro forma adjustments.  The unaudited pro forma
results of operations  for the  year ended  December 31,  1992 include  the
historical results of DM  Can and the Company  for the year ended  December
31, 1992 and give effect to the pro forma adjustments.

                        except for per share data)


3.   Acquisitions (continued)

The pro forma adjustments to the  historical results of operations  reflect
the sales  prices set  forth in  a  supply agreement  with Del  Monte,  the
estimated effect of purchase accounting adjustments based upon  preliminary
appraisals and evaluations,  the financing of  the acquisition and  certain
other adjustments as if  these events had occurred  as of the beginning  of
the periods mentioned therein.  The  following unaudited pro forma  results
of operations do  not purport to  represent what the  Company's results  of
operations would actually have been had  the transactions in fact  occurred
on the dates indicated or to  project the Company's results for any  future
period:
                                                     1993        1992

  Net sales                                       $818,614    $819,579

  Loss before income taxes                          (8,134)     (8,102)
  Loss before extraordinary charges
    and cumulative effect of accounting changes    (10,380)    (11,060)
  Net loss                                         (17,997)    (34,657)


4.   Dispositions

In November 1991 the Company sold  substantially all of the assets used  in
its PET carbonated beverage bottle business.  Most of the sales proceeds of
$12,000 were used to repay term loans.  No gain or loss was recognized as a
result of the disposition.

5.   Refinancings

1993

Effective December 21, 1993, Silgan, Containers and Plastics entered into a
credit  agreement  (the  "Credit  Agreement")  with  certain  lenders  (the
"Banks"), Bank of  America, as Co-Agent,  and Bankers Trust,  as Agent,  to
refinance in full all amounts owing  under the Amended and Restated  Credit
Agreement, dated as of August 31,  1987, and to finance the acquisition  of
DM Can by  Containers.  Under  the Credit Agreement,  the Banks loaned  the
Company $140,000 of term loans and $29,800 of working capital loans on  the
effective date.  In addition, the Company issued and sold 250,000 shares of
its Class B Common Stock for $15,000.   The Company used these proceeds  to
repay $41,452  of term  loans  and $60,800  of  working capital  loans,  to
acquire DM  Can and  pay fees  and expenses.    As a  result of  the  early
extinguishment of debt, the Company incurred a charge of $1,341.  There was
no tax effect of this charge due to the net operating loss position of  the
Company.  See Note 9 - Bank Credit Facility.

5.   Refinancings (continued)

1992

Effective June  29,  1992, Holdings  and  Silgan refinanced  a  significant
portion  of  their  indebtedness  (the  "Refinancing").    The  Refinancing
included a private placement by Silgan  of $50,000 principal amount of  its
Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due June 30, 1997 (the "Secured Notes"),
a public offering of $135,000 principal  amount of Silgan's 11 3/4%  Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2002 (the "11 3/4% Notes") and a public offering  by
Holdings of its 13 1/4% Senior Discount Debentures due 2002 (the " Discount
Debentures") for proceeds of $165,435.  The aggregate proceeds from the new
debt offerings of $350,435, less $17,300 of transaction fees and  expenses,
were used,  in  part, to  redeem  Silgan's 14%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes
(the  "14%  Notes"),  Silgan's   15%  Cumulative  Exchangeable   Redeemable
Preferred  Stock  (the  "Preferred  Stock")  and  Holdings'  Senior   Reset
Debentures due 2004 (the "Holdings Reset Debentures").  The Preferred Stock
(300,083 shares) was redeemed on August  16, 1992 at a redemption price  of
$105 per share plus  accrued dividends.  The  14% Notes ($85,000  aggregate
principal amount) were redeemed on August 28, 1992 at a redemption price of
105% of the principal amount thereof  plus accrued interest.  The  Holdings
Reset Debentures  were  redeemed  on  July  29,  1992  ($175,160  aggregate
principal amount) at a redemption price of 103.67% of the principal  amount
thereof plus accrued interest.  In addition, the Company paid cash interest
of $15,326 at a  rate of 17 1/2%  on the principal  amount of the  Holdings
Reset Debentures for the period January 1, to June 30, 1992.

In conjunction with the Refinancing,  Silgan's Amended and Restated  Credit
Agreement was amended to,  among other things,  permit the Refinancing  and
the Company repaid $30,000 of term loans thereunder.

As a  result  of  the Refinancing,  unamortized  deferred  financing  costs
relating to the 14% Notes, the Preferred Stock, the repayment of term loans
under  the  Amended  and  Restated  Credit  Agreement  and  Holdings  Reset
Debentures totaling $11,034 in the aggregate were written off in 1992  and,
along with  the  redemption  premiums  of  $12,563,  are  reflected  as  an
extraordinary charge.  There was  no tax effect on  this charge due to  the
net operating loss position of the Company.

8.  Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 1993,  the Company adopted  SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
for Income  Taxes"  which requires  the  use  of the  liability  method  of
accounting for deferred income taxes.  The Company had previously  reported
under SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  There was no effect  for
the difference in methods at the date of adoption.

The aggregate income tax provision varied from that computed by using the
U.S. statutory rate as a result of the following:

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. At December 31,
1993, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards at December 31, 1993
of approximately $105,000 which are available to offset future consolidated
taxable income of the group and expire from 2001 through 2008.  At December
31, 1993, the Company had an alternative minimum tax liability of $300  and
approximately $1,900 of alternative minimum tax credits which are available
indefinitely to reduce future tax payments  for regular federal income  tax
purposes.

9.  Bank Credit Facility

On December 21, 1993, Silgan, Containers and Plastics (the "Borrowers") and
the Banks entered  into the Credit  Agreement pursuant to  which the  Banks
loaned to Silgan (i) $60,000  of term loans (the  "A Term Loans") and  (ii)
$80,000 of term loans (the "B Term Loans"), collectively, the "Term Loans",
and agreed to lend to Containers or Plastics up to an aggregate of  $70,000
of working capital loans  (the "Working Capital  Loans").  Concurrent  with
the borrowings  under the  Credit Agreement,  the  Company repaid  in  full
amounts outstanding under  the Amended and  Restated Credit Agreement.  See
Note 5 - Refinancings.

9.   Bank Credit Facility (continued)

To secure the obligations of Borrowers  under the Credit Agreement,  Silgan
has pledged  to the  Banks principally  all  of the  capital stock  of  its
subsidiaries and the subsidiaries have each  granted to the Banks  security
interests in  substantially  all  of their  respective  real  and  personal
property.  Such collateral also secures  on an equal and ratable basis  the
Secured Notes, subject to certain intercreditor arrangements.  Holdings has
pledged to the Banks all of the capital stock of Silgan.  Holdings and each
of the Borrowers have guaranteed on a secured basis all of the  obligations
of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

The A  Term  Loans  mature  on  September  15,  1996  and  are  payable  in
installments during the listed years as follows:

                                          A Term Loan
     Installment Repayment Date        Principal Amount

              1995                          20,000
              1996                          20,000

The B Term  Loans mature and  are payable in  full on  September 15,  1996.
Amounts repaid under the Term Loans cannot be reborrowed.

Under the Credit Agreement, Silgan is required to repay the Term Loans (pro
rata for each  tranche of  Term Loans) in  an amount  equal to  75% of  the
Company's Excess Cash  Flow (as  defined in  the Credit  Agreement) in  any
fiscal year during  the Credit Agreement  (beginning with  the 1994  fiscal
year).  Additionally, Silgan is required to repay the Term Loans (pro  rata
for each tranche  of Term  Loans) and the  Secured Notes,  in an  aggregate
amount equal to 80% of the net sale proceeds from certain assets sales  and
100% of  the net  equity proceeds  from  certain sales  of equity,  all  as
provided in the Credit Agreement and the Secured Notes Agreement.

The aggregate amount of Working Capital  Loans which may be outstanding  at
any time is subject to a borrowing base limitation of the sum of (i) 85% of
eligible accounts receivable  of Containers and  Plastics and  (ii) 50%  of
eligible inventory of Containers and Plastics.  In lieu of Working  Capital
Loans, Containers and  Plastics may request  Bankers Trust to  issue up  to
$15,000 of letters of  credit (the "Letters of  Credit").  At December  31,
1993, $6,094 of Letters of Credit were outstanding.

Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Working Capital Loans can
be borrowed, repaid and  reborrowed from time to  time until September  15,
1996, on which  date all Working  Capital Loans mature  and are payable  in
full.

9.   Bank Credit Facility (continued)

Each of  the Term  Loans and  each of  the Working  Capital Loans,  at  the
respective Borrower's election, consist  of loans designated as  Eurodollar
rate loans or as Base Rate loans.   Subject to certain conditions, each  of
the Term Loans and each of the Working Capital Loans can be converted  from
a Base Rate  loan into a  Eurodollar rate loan  and vice versa.   The  term
"Base Rate" means the highest of  (i) 1/2 of 1%  in excess of the  Adjusted
Certificate of Deposit Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii)  1/2
of 1%  in excess  of the  Federal  Funds Rate  (as  defined in  the  Credit
Agreement) and (iii) Bankers Trust's prime lending rate.

Interest on Term Loans  maintained as Base Rate  loans accrues at  floating
rates of 1.75% (in the case  of A Term Loans) and 2.25%  (in the case of  B
Term Loans)  over the  Base Rate.   Interest  on Term  Loans maintained  as
Eurodollar rate loans accrues at floating rates of 2.75% (in the case of  A
Term Loans) and 3.25%  (in the case of  B Term Loans)  over a formula  rate
(the "Eurodollar Rate") determined  with reference to  the rate offered  by
Bankers Trust  for dollar  deposits in  the New  York interbank  Eurodollar
market.  Interest  on Working  Capital Loans  maintained as  (i) Base  Rate
loans accrues at floating rates of 2% over the Base Rate or (ii) Eurodollar
rate loans accrues at floating  rates of 3% over  the Eurodollar Rate.   At
December 31, 1993,  the loans were  maintained as Base  Rate loans and  the
interest rate was between 7 3/4% and 8 1/4%.

Each of Containers and Plastics has agreed to jointly and severally pay  to
the Banks,  on a  quarterly basis,  a commitment  commission calculated  as
0.50% per annum on the daily  average unused portion of the Banks'  working
capital commitment  in respect  of the  Working  Capital Loans  until  such
working capital  commitment is  terminated.   Additionally, Containers  and
Plastics are required  to pay  to Bankers Trust,  on a  quarterly basis  in
arrears, a letter of credit fee of 3.0% per  annum and a facing fee of  1/4
of 1% per annum, each on the average daily stated amount of each letter  of
credit issued for the account of Containers or Plastics, respectively.

The Credit Agreement requires Silgan  to meet certain financial  covenants,
and restricts or limits, among other items, each of the Borrowers'  ability
to (i)  incur additional  indebtedness, (ii)  create certain  liens,  (iii)
consolidate, merge or sell assets, (iv)  make capital expenditures and  (v)
pay dividends, except  for distributions to  Holdings to  fund federal  and
state tax obligations.

For 1993, 1992  and 1991, respectively,  the average  amount of  borrowings
under the  Working Capital  Loans was  $51,935, $44,525,  and $56,342;  the
average annual  interest rate  was 6.5%,  7.2% and  9.0%; and  the  highest
amount of  such  borrowings  at any  month-end  was  $80,250,  $80,800  and
$81,300.

                        except for per share data)

10.  Senior Secured Notes

The Secured Notes constitute senior indebtedness of Silgan and are  secured
by a  first lien  on substantially  all  of the  assets  of Silgan.    Such
collateral also secures on an equal  and ratable basis, subject to  certain
intercreditor arrangements,  all indebtedness  of Silgan  under the  Credit
Agreement.  The Secured  Notes mature on June  30, 1997 and bear  interest,
which is payable quarterly, at  a rate of three-month  LIBOR plus 3%.   The
interest rate  is adjusted  quarterly.   The  interest  rate in  effect  at
December 31, 1993 was 6.38%.

The Secured  Notes are  redeemable at  the  option of  Silgan at  par  plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  Net cash proceeds from
certain asset  sales  and the  issuance  of  capital stock  by  Silgan  are
required to be applied to prepay  the Secured Notes and indebtedness  under
the Credit Agreement on a pro rata basis, subject to certain exceptions.

The Secured  Notes  contain  covenants which  are  comparable  to  or  less
restrictive than those required by the Credit  Agreement.  These  covenants
limit,  among  other  items,  Silgan's  ability  to  (i)  incur  additional
indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends, except  for distributions to Holdings  to
fund  federal  and   state  tax  obligation,   (iii)  enter  into   certain
transactions with affiliates, (iv) repay subordinated indebtedness, and (v)
effect certain mergers, consolidations and transfers of assets.

11. 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes

The 11  3/4% Notes,  which mature  on June  15, 2002,  represent  unsecured
general  obligations  of  Silgan,  subordinate  in  right  of  payment   to
obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the Secured Notes
and effectively subordinate to all of  the obligations of the  subsidiaries
of Silgan.  Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15.

The 11 3/4% Notes are redeemable  at the option of  Silgan, in whole or  in
part, at  any time  during the  twelve  months commencing  June 15  of  the
following years at the indicated percentages of their principal amount plus
accrued interest:
                                                  Redemption
                         Year                     Percentage

12.  13 1/4% Senior Discount Debentures

On June 30,  1992, Holdings issued  $275,000 principal  amount of  discount
Debentures for cash proceeds of $165,435.   The Discount Debentures,  which
are due on December  15, 2002, represent  unsecured general obligations  of
Holdings, subordinate in  right of payment  to the  obligations of  Silgan.
The original issue discount is being amortized through June 15, 1996 with a
yield to maturity of 13 1/4%.  The carrying amount at December 31, 1993  of
the Discount Debentures represents the principal amount less an unamortized
discount of  $74,282.   From  and  after June  15,  1996, interest  on  the
Discount Debentures will accrue on the  principal amount at the rate of  13
1/4% and be  payable in  cash semiannually.   The  Discount Debentures  are
redeemable at any time, at the option of Holdings, in whole or in part,  at
100% of  their principal  amount plus  accrued interest  to the  redemption
date.

The Discount Debenture Indenture contains covenants which are comparable to
or less  restrictive  than those  required  by the  Credit  Agreement,  the
Secured Notes and the 11 3/4% Notes.

The estimated fair value  of the Discount Debentures  at December 31,  1993
was $214,500.

13. Preferred Stock/Minority Interest

The minority  interest  represented shares  of  Preferred Stock  issued  by
Silgan.    The  Preferred  Stockholders  received  cumulative  preferential
dividends at the rate per annum of 15% per share calculated as a percentage
of $100.   Dividends  were, at  the option  of Silgan,  paid in  additional
shares of Preferred Stock.  During 1992 and 1991, Silgan issued 21,301  and
38,173 shares  of  Preferred Stock  at  $100 per  share,  representing  its
Preferred Stock dividend  requirement for the  two quarters  ended May  15,
1992 and  the four  quarters ended  November  15, 1991.   A  cash  dividend
payment of $1,137 was made for the quarter ended August 15, 1992, at  which
time the preferred stock was redeemed.

As of December 31,  1993, Silgan has authorized  1,000 shares of  Preferred
Stock, of which, none is issued or outstanding.

14.  Common Stock

During 1993, Holdings increased its authorized Class B Common Stock from
500,000 shares to 667,500 shares and on December 21, 1993, Holdings sold
250,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock for a purchase price of $60.00
per share and an aggregate purchase price of $15,000.  Holdings contributed
the proceeds to Silgan in conjunction with the acquisition of DM Can.  See
Note 3 - Acquisitions.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           (Dollars in thousands
                        except for per share data)



14.  Common Stock (continued)

The rights privileges and powers of the Class A Common Stock and the  Class
B Common Stock are identical, with  shares of each class being entitled  to
one vote on all matters to come  before the stockholders of Holdings.   The
Class C Common  stockholders do not  have voting rights  except in  certain
circumstances.

Pursuant to an organization agreement, each  of the holders of the Class  A
Common Stock, upon  the death  or permanent  disablement of  either of  the
holders of the Class A Common Stock prior to June 30, 1994, have the  right
to require Holdings to acquire all the shares held by the respective holder
or his affiliates at the then fair market value of the stock (as defined in
the Organization  Agreement).   In connection  therewith the  value of  the
Class A Common Stock has been adjusted to fair market value.  The  increase
in the fair market value has been charged to accumulated deficit.  At  June
30, 1994,  to  the  extent the  put  option  has not  been  exercised,  the
accumulated deficit will be decreased by the amount previously charged  for
the put option liability.


15.  Retirement Plans

The  Company  sponsors  contributory   and  non-contributory  pension   and
retirement plans which cover substantially all employees, other than  union
employees covered  by multi-employer  defined benefit  pension plans  under
collective bargaining agreements.  The benefits are paid based on either  a
career average, final  pay or years  of service formula.   With respect  to
certain hourly employees, pension benefits are provided for based on stated
amounts for each  year of service.   The Company  funds the minimum  amount
required under the  Employee Retirement Income  Security Act  of 1974  with
certain  employees   contributing   approximately  3%   of   their   annual
compensation.

The provisions of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" require
recognition in the  balance sheet of  an additional  minimum liability  and
related intangible asset  for pension  plans with  accumulated benefits  in
excess of plan assets.   At December 31,  1993, an additional liability  of
$2,107 and  an  intangible asset  of  equal  amount are  reflected  in  the
consolidated balance sheet.   The additional  liability is principally  the
result of the change in the assumed discount rate.

15.  Retirement Plans (continued)

Based on the  latest actuarial information  available, the following  table
sets forth the defined benefit plans  funded status and amounts  recognized
in the Company's balance sheets as of December 31:

                                           1993          1992
  Actuarial present value of 
   benefit obligations:
     Vested benefit obligations        $ 19,096      $ 13,543
     Non-vested benefit obligations       1,100           970

     Accumulated benefit obligations     20,196        14,513
     Additional benefits due to
       future salary levels               9,825         9,847
     Projected benefit obligations       30,021        24,360

  Plan assets at fair value              18,327        14,644

  Projected benefit obligation
     in excess of plan assets            11,694         9,716
  Unrecognized actuarial gain (loss)          2         2,431
  Unrecognized prior service costs       (2,093)       (2,218)
  Additional minimum liability            2,107           114

               Net pension liability   $ 11,710       $10,043

The 1992 funded status amounts have  been restated to reflect revisions  in
actuarial computations.  These revisions had no effect on the Company's net
pension liability.

In addition to  amounts set forth  above, the Company  has assumed  defined
benefit plan obligations  of approximately  $11,000 (as  calculated at  the
Company's discount rate of 7 1/2%) in connection with the acquisition of DM
Can.  Under the terms of the DM  Can purchase agreement, Del Monte will  be
transferring to  the  Company  fund  assets  of  approximately  $9,000  (as
calculated using a discount rate of 9%).

The assumptions used in determining actuarial present value of plan benefit
obligations as of December 31:

                                      1993         1992             1991

  Discount rate                       7.5%         8.5%             8.5%
  Weighted average rate of
    compensation increase             4.5%      5.0 - 5.5%       5.0 - 5.5%
  Expected long-term rate of
    return on plan assets             8.5%         8.5%             8.5%

15.  Retirement Plans (continued)

The components of total pension expense are as follows:

                                           1993      1992      1991

   Total pension expense                  $4,696    $4,983    $5,108

Plan assets  are invested  in money  market funds,  equity funds  and  bond
funds.

In 1991,  the  Company realized  a  curtailment gain  of  $2,500 due  to  a
reduction in the Company's work force.  Such amount has not been  reflected
in total pension expense above.

Containers sponsors a deferred incentive savings plan for eligible salaried
employees where  contributions are  provided  if Containers  meets  certain
financial targets.  The maximum aggregate amount of awards will not  exceed
15%  of  the  aggregate   salaries  of  the   participants  in  the   Plan.
Contributions of $1,630,  $1,730 and $1,700  were made for  1993, 1992  and
1991, respectively.

Plastics sponsors a savings  and investment plan  which is organized  under
Section 401(k) of the  Internal Revenue Code.   Plastics' contributions  to
the plan were $146, $147 and $149 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.


16.  Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

As discussed in Note  2, the Company adopted  SFAS No. 106 in  1993.    The
Company has elected to immediately recognize a cumulative charge of  $5,000
for this change  in accounting principle  which represents the  accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation  existing as of  January 1,  1993.   This
change in accounting principle, excluding the cumulative effect,  decreased
pretax income for the year ended  December 31, 1993 by approximately  $478.
The postretirement benefit cost for 1992 and 1991, which was recorded on  a
pay-as-you-go basis, has not been restated and was not material.

16.  Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions (continued)

The Company has defined benefit health  care and life insurance plans  that
provide postretirement  benefits  to  certain employees.    The  plans  are
contributory, with  retiree contributions  adjusted annually,  and  contain
cost sharing features including deductibles  and coinsurance.  The  Company
does not fund the plans.

The  following  table  presents  the  plan's  funded  status  and   amounts
recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1993:


Accumulated postretirement
 benefit obligation:
   Retirees                                        $1,209
   Fully eligible active plan participants          1,197
   Other active plan participants                   2,127        
                                                    4,533

Unrecognized net gain or (loss)                      (462)       
Unrecognized transition obligation                    -  

Accrued postretirement benefit cost                $4,071


Net periodic postretirement  benefit cost for  1993 included the  following
components:

Service cost                                       $  152
Interest cost                                         326

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost           $  478

                        except for per share data)


16.  Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions (continued)

The weighted-average  discount rate  used  in determining  the  accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5%.   The weighted average rate  of
increase in  future  compensation  levels was  4.5%.    For  measuring  the
expected postretirement  benefit  obligation, the  weighted-average  annual
assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits  (i.e.,
health care cost  trend rate)  principally used is  14% for  1994 (15%  for
1993).  This rate is assumed to decrease by 1% per year to an ultimate rate
of 6%.   A 1%  increase in  the trend  rate assumption  would increase  the
accumulated postretirement benefit  obligation as of  December 31, 1993  by
approximately $62 and increase  the aggregate of  the service and  interest
cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993 by
approximately  $12.    As  of  December  31,  1992,  the  plan's   unfunded
accumulated postretirement  benefit  obligations for  retirees  and  active
participants was $1,144 and $3,856, respectively.

17.  Stock Option Plans

The  Company,  Containers  and  Plastics  have  established  separate   but
virtually identical stock option plans for their key employees pursuant  to
which options  to purchase  shares of  common stock  of Holdings'  and  its
subsidiaries and stock appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted.

Options granted under the  plans may be either  incentive stock options  or
non qualified stock options.  To date, all stock options granted have  been
non qualified stock  options.  Under  the plans, the  Company has  reserved
15,000 shares and Containers and Plastics  have each reserved 1,200  shares
of their common stock  in order to  enable them to  issue shares under  the
plans.  Both Containers and Plastics have 10,800 shares of $0.01 par  value
common stock currently issued, all of which are owned by Silgan.

The SARs extend to all of the shares covered by the options and provide for
the payment by either Holdings, Containers or Plastics, as the case may be,
to the holders  of the  options an amount  in cash  or stock  equal to  the
excess of the proforma book value, as  defined, of a share of common  stock
(or in the event of a public offering, the fair market value of a share  of
common  stock)  over  the  exercise  price  of  the  option  with   certain
adjustments for the portion  of vested stock appreciation  not paid at  the
time of recapitalization in June, 1989.  Holdings and its subsidiaries have
the right  to repurchase,  and  employees have  the  right to  require  the
subsidiaries to repurchase, their  common stock at  the then proforma  book
value, or  market value  as the  case may  be, should  employees leave  the
Company.

                        except for per share data)


17.  Stock Options Plans (continued)

At December  31, 1993,  there were  outstanding options  for 15,000  shares
under the Holdings'  Plan, 816 shares  under the Containers'  Plan and  300
shares under the Plastics' Plan.  The exercise prices per share are $35 for
the Holdings'  options, range  from $2,122  to $2,456  for the  Containers'
options and are $746 for the Plastics' options.  There were 14,000 options,
528 options and  240 options  exercisable at  December 31,  1993 under  the
Holdings', Containers'  and Plastics'  plans,  respectively.   The  Company
incurred charges relating to the vesting and payment of benefits under  the
stock option plans of $200 and $350 in 1993 and 1992, respectively (none in
1991).

The stock options and SARs generally become exercisable ratably over a five
year period.

In the event of a public  offering of any of  Holdings' capital stock or  a
sale of Holdings to  a third party, (i)  the options granted by  Containers
and Plastics pursuant to the plans, or (ii) any stock issued upon  exercise
of such  options issued  by Containers  and Plastics  are convertible  into
either stock options or common stock  of Holdings.  The conversion of  such
options or  shares  will be  based  upon a  valuation  of Holdings  and  an
allocation of such  value among the  subsidiaries after  giving affect  to,
among other things, that portion of the outstanding obligation of  Holdings
allocable to each such subsidiary.


18.  Business Information

The Company is engaged in the  packaging business.  Its principal  products
are metal and  plastic containers.   Net sales  for its  metal and  plastic
containers were $445,871 and $186,319; $425,844 and $192,596; and $435,349

19.  Related Party Transactions

Pursuant  to  various  management  services  agreements  (the   "Management
Agreement") entered into  between Holdings,  Silgan, Containers,  Plastics,
and S&H,  Inc.  ("S&H"), a  company  wholly  owned by  Messrs.  Silver  and
Horrigan,  the  Chairman   of  the   Board  and   President  of   Holdings,
respectively, S&H provides  Holdings and Silgan  and its subsidiaries  with
general  management,   supervision   and   administrative   services   (the
"Services").  In  consideration for  the Services,  S&H receives  a fee  of
4.95% (of which  0.45% is payable  to MS &  Co.) of Holdings'  consolidated
earnings before depreciation,  amortization, interest  and taxes  ("EBDIT")
until EBDIT has reached  the Scheduled Amount set  forth in the  Management
Agreement and 3.3% (of which 0.3% is payable  to MS & Co.) after EBDIT  has
exceeded the Scheduled Amount up to the Maximum Amount as set forth in  the
Management Agreement,  plus  reimbursement for  all  related  out-of-pocket
expenses.  The total amount incurred for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992 and 1991  was approximately $4,385,  $4,225 and $4,027,  respectively.
Included  in  accounts  payable  at  December   31,  1993  and  1992,   was
approximately $575 and $200, payable to S&H, respectively.

Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to
certain exceptions, to indemnify S&H and  any of its affiliates,  officers,
directors, employees,  subcontractors, consultants  or controlling  persons
against any loss or damage they may sustain arising in connection with  the
Management Agreement.

21. Litigation

On June 30, 1989,  Holdings acquired all of  the outstanding shares of  the
Company for $6.50 per share (the "Merger").  In connection with the Merger,
two complaints were filed during 1989 in the Court of Chancery in the State
of Delaware (the  "Court") by certain  Silgan Class  B Common  Stockholders
against Silgan, Holdings, MS & Co., officers and directors.

The complaints allege, among other things, that certain defendants breached
their fiduciary  duties  under Delaware  law  to minority  stockholders  of
Silgan by engaging in  unfair dealing, attempting to  effect a merger at  a
grossly inadequate price and distributing misleading proxy materials.   The
complaints ask the Court, among other things, to rescind the Merger  and/or
to grant to plaintiffs such damages,  including rescissory damages, as  are
found by the  Court to be  proven at trial.   Additionally, each  plaintiff
filed a petition for appraisal.

In 1991,  the  Court  stayed  one of  the  actions  and  related  appraisal
proceeding based upon the  seizure and placement  into receivership of  one
plaintiff.   The  Court  lifted  the  stay  of  the  action  and  appraisal
proceeding on  March  30, 1992  and  both  the action  and  appraisal  were
dismissed in February 1994  following settlement with  the plaintiff.   The
second action  was  voluntarily  dismissed  on  January  29,  1992  without
prejudice to the  right of the  plaintiffs to reinstate  the action at  the
conclusion of the related appraisal proceeding.  Discovery is proceeding in
the appraisal.  The Court has set the week of May 9, 1994 for trial.

Additionally, a complaint was filed by parties who are limited partners  of
The Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund,  L.P. ("MSLEF") against a  number
of defendants, including Silgan and Holdings.   The complaint alleges  that
Silgan and  Holdings  aided  and abetted  the  general  partners  MSLEF  in
breaching their  fiduciary  duties to  the  limited partners.    The  Court
dismissed all claims against Silgan and Holdings related to this action  on
January 14, 1993, and subsequently  upheld that dismissal after  plaintiffs
filed a motion for reargument.

The defendants believe that there is  no factual basis for the  allegations
and claims contained in the complaints.  Management also believes that  the
lawsuits  are  without  merit  and  they  intend  to  defend  the  lawsuits
vigorously.  In addition, management believes that the ultimate  resolution
of these matters  and the appraisal  proceedings will not  have a  material
effect on the  financial condition or  results of operations  of Silgan  or
Holdings.

21. Litigation (continued)

In connection with  the Merger and  the litigation described  above, as  of
December 31, 1993 approximately $6,800 of  the purchase price has not  been
paid to certain former  stockholders and such amount  has been recorded  by
the Company as a current liability.

Other than the  actions mentioned above  there are no  other pending  legal
proceedings, other  than  ordinary  routine litigation  incidental  to  the
business of the Company, to which the Company is a party or to which any of
its properties are subject.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Silgan Corporation



     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Silgan
Corporation as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related  consolidated
statements of operations,  common stockholder's equity  and cash flows  for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993.  Our  audits
also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index at Item
14(a).  These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility  of
the Company's management.  Our responsibility  is to express an opinion  on
these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that  we plan and perform the audit  to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement.   An audit includes examining,  on a test  basis,
evidence  supporting  the   amounts  and  disclosures   in  the   financial
statements.  An  audit also  includes assessing  the accounting  principles
used and significant estimates  made by management,  as well as  evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.   We believe that our  audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our  opinion, the  consolidated  financial statements  referred  to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated  financial
position of  Silgan Corporation  at December  31, 1993  and 1992,  and  the
consolidated results of its operations and  its cash flows for each of  the
three years  in the  period ended  December 31, 1993,  in conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.   Also,  in  our  opinion,  the
related financial statement schedules, when  considered in relation to  the
basic financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material
respects the information set forth therein.

     As discussed in Note  2 to the  consolidated financial statements,  in
1993, the  Company  changed its  method  of accounting  for  postretirement
benefits other than pensions, income taxes and postemployment benefits.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991

1.   Basis of Presentation

Silgan Corporation ("Silgan", together with its wholly owned  subsidiaries,
Silgan  Containers   Corporation   ("Containers")   and   Silgan   Plastics
Corporation ("Plastics"), the  "Company") is a  wholly owned subsidiary  of
Silgan Holdings  Inc. ("Holdings"  or "Parent").    Holdings is  a  company
controlled by Silgan  management and Morgan  Stanley Leveraged Equity  Fund
II, L.P. ("MSLEF II"),  an affiliate of Morgan  Stanley & Co.  Incorporated
("MS & Co.").

The Company  is  engaged  in the  packaging  business  which  includes  the
manufacture and sale of steel,  aluminum and paperboard containers,  mainly
to processors and packagers of food  products, and the design,  manufacture
and  sale  of  various  plastic  containers,  mainly  for  food,  beverage,
household, pharmaceutical and personal care products.


2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include  the accounts of the  Company
and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have  been
eliminated.  Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are
translated at  rates of  exchange  in effect  at  the balance  sheet  date.
Income amounts are translated at the average of monthly exchange rates.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts  receivable  consist  primarily  of  amounts  due  from   domestic
companies.  Credit  is extended based  on an evaluation  of the  customer's
financial condition and collateral is not generally required.  The  Company
maintains an allowance for  doubtful accounts at  a level which  management
believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses.

Inventories

Inventories are  stated at  the lower  of cost  or market  (net  realizable
value).  Finished goods, work-in-process  and raw material inventories  are
principally accounted for by the last-in, first-out method (LIFO).

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded  at cost and are depreciated  on
the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (ranging from  3
to 25 years).  Maintenance and  repair expenditures are charged to  expense
as incurred; major  renewals and betterments  are capitalized.   The  total
amount of repairs and maintenance expense for the years ended December  31,
1993, 1992 and 1991 was $17,072, $14,962 and $16,507, respectively.

                        except for per share data)



2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)


Other Assets

Cost in excess  of fair  value of  net assets  acquired is  amortized on  a
straight-line basis over a period not exceeding forty years.  Covenants not
to compete are being  amortized over five years.   Debt issuance costs  are
being amortized over  the terms  of the related  debt agreements  (3 to  10
years).

Cash flows

For purposes  of the  consolidated statements  of cash  flows, the  Company
considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months  or
less at the time of purchase and investments in money market accounts to be
cash equivalents.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The  following  methods  and  assumptions  were  used  by  the  Company  in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and  cash equivalents:  The carrying  amount reported  in the  balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.

Short and long-term debt: The carrying amounts of the Company's  borrowings
under its working  capital loans and  variable-rate borrowings  approximate
their fair value.   The fair values of  fixed-rate borrowings are based  on
quoted market prices.

Letters of  Credit: Fair  values of  the Company's  outstanding letters  of
credit are based on current contractual amounts outstanding.

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

Postretirement Benefits Other  than Pensions:   Effective January 1,  1993,
the Company adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards  ("SFAS")
No. 106,  "Employers' Accounting  for  Postretirement Benefits  Other  Than
Pensions".   Under SFAS  No. 106,  the Company  is required  to accrue  the
estimated cost of retiree health  and other postretirement benefits  during
the years  that covered  employees  render service.    Prior to  1993,  the
Company recorded these benefits on the  pay-as-you-go basis.  As  permitted
by the Statement, prior years' financials have not been restated.  See Note
15 - Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions.

                        except for per share data)



2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes:  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for  Income Taxes".   SFAS  No.  109 requires  the use  of  the
liability method of accounting  for deferred income  taxes.  The  provision
for income taxes includes federal, state and foreign income taxes currently
payable and those  deferred because  of temporary  differences between  the
financial statement and tax bases of  assets and liabilities.  The  Company
had previously reported under SFAS No.  96, "Accounting for Income  Taxes".
Under SFAS No. 96, the Company had recognized a federal income tax  benefit
from the tax losses of Holdings.  Under SFAS No. 109, this benefit will  be
reflected as a contribution to additional  paid-in capital instead of as  a
reduction of income  tax expense.   As  permitted by  the Statement,  prior
years' financial statements have  not been restated.   See Note 9 -  Income
Taxes.

Postemployment Benefits:  During  1993, the Company  adopted SFAS No.  112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  The cumulative effect
as of January 1, 1993 of this accounting change was to decrease net  income
by $826 (after  related income  taxes of  $450).   There was  no effect  on
income before  income  taxes as  a  result  of this  change  in  accounting
principle.


3.   Acquisitions

On December 21, 1993, Containers acquired from Del Monte Corporation  ("Del
Monte") substantially all of the fixed  assets and certain working  capital
of its container manufacturing  business in the  United States ("DM  Can").
The purchase price, which is subject  to post-closing adjustments, for  the
assets acquired  and  the  assumption  of  certain  specified  liabilities,
including related  transaction costs,  was $73,865.   The  acquisition  was
accounted for as a purchase transaction and the results of operations  have
been included with the  Company's results from the  acquisition date.   The
total purchase cost was allocated first to the tangible assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based upon their  respective fair values as  determined
from preliminary appraisals and valuations and the excess was allocated  to
cost over fair value of assets  acquired.  The aggregate purchase cost  and
its preliminary allocation to the assets and liabilities is as follows:


     Net working capital acquired                           $26,400
     Property, plant and equipment                           57,238
     Cost in excess of fair value of assets acquired          6,587
     Other liabilities assumed                              (16,360)
                                                            $73,865

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           (Dollars in thousands
                        except for per share data)




3.   Acquisitions (continued)

Set forth below  is the Company's  summary unaudited pro  forma results  of
operations for the years ended December  31, 1993 and 1992.  The  unaudited
pro forma  results of  operations  for the  year  ended December  31,  1993
include the historical results of DM Can for the period ended December  21,
1993 and give effect to the pro forma adjustments.  The unaudited pro forma
results of operations  for the  year ended  December 31,  1992 include  the
historical results of DM  Can and the Company  for the year ended  December
31, 1992 and give effect to the pro forma adjustments.

The pro forma adjustments to the  historical results of operations  reflect
the sales  prices set  forth in  a  supply agreement  with Del  Monte,  the
estimated effect of purchase accounting adjustments based upon  preliminary
appraisals and evaluations,  the financing of  the acquisition and  certain
other adjustments as if  these events had occurred  as of the beginning  of
the periods mentioned therein.  The  following unaudited pro forma  results
of operations do  not purport to  represent what the  Company's results  of
operations would actually have been had  the transactions in fact  occurred
on the dates indicated or to  project the Company's results for any  future
period:

                                                   1993        1992

  Net sales                                     $818,614    $819,579
  Income from operations                          51,343      57,282
  Income before income taxes                      18,877      25,353
  Income before extraordinary charges
    and cumulative effect of accounting changes   10,844      22,301
  Net income                                          52      13,226


4.   Dispositions

In November 1991 the Company sold  substantially all of the assets used  in
its PET carbonated beverage bottle business.  Most of the sales proceeds of
$12,000 were used to repay term loans.  No gain or loss was recognized as a
result of the disposition.

                        except for per share data)



5.   Refinancings

1993

Effective December 21, 1993, Silgan, Containers and Plastics entered into a
credit  agreement  (the  "Credit  Agreement")  with  certain  lenders  (the
"Banks"), Bank of  America, as Co-Agent,  and Bankers Trust,  as Agent,  to
refinance in full all amounts owing  under the Amended and Restated  Credit
Agreement, dated as of August 31,  1987, and to finance the acquisition  of
DM Can by  Containers.  Under  the Credit Agreement,  the Banks loaned  the
Company $140,000 of term loans and $29,800 of working capital loans on  the
effective date.  In addition, Holdings contributed $15,000 to the  Company.
The Company used these proceeds to repay $41,452 of term loans and  $60,800
of working capital loans, to acquire DM Can and pay fees and expenses.   As
a result of the early extinguishment of debt, the Company incurred a charge
of $841 (net of $500 of taxes).  See Note 10 - Bank Credit Facility.

1992

Effective June 29, 1992, the Company and Holdings refinanced a  significant
portion  of  their  indebtedness  (the  "Refinancing").    The  Refinancing
included a private placement by the Company of $50,000 principal amount  of
its Senior Secured  Floating Rate  Notes due  June 30,  1997 (the  "Secured
Notes") and a public offering of $135,000 principal amount of the Company's
11 3/4% Senior  Subordinated Notes  due 2002 (the  "11 3/4%  Notes").   The
proceeds from the new  debt offerings, net of  $10,250 of transaction  fees
and expenses,  were used,  in  part, to  redeem  the Company's  14%  Senior
Subordinated Notes  (the  "14%  Notes")  and  15%  Cumulative  Exchangeable
Redeemable Preferred Stock  (the "Preferred Stock").   The Preferred  Stock
(300,083 shares) was redeemed on August  16, 1992 at a redemption price  of
$105 per share plus  accrued dividends.  The  14% Notes ($85,000  aggregate
principal amount) were redeemed on August 28, 1992 at a redemption price of
105% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.

In conjunction  with  the  Refinancing, the  Amended  and  Restated  Credit
Agreement was amended to,  among other things,  permit the Refinancing  and
the Company repaid  $30,000 of  term loans  thereunder.   In addition,  the
Company repaid the $25,200  advance from Holdings  and advanced $16,000  to
Holdings.  Upon completion of the redemption of the 14% Notes, the  Company
paid a $15,724 dividend to Holdings  which Holdings, along with  additional
cash earned on  its short term  investments of proceeds  received by it  in
connection with the Refinancing, used to retire the outstanding advance  to
the Company.  Such payments to Holdings, along with the public offering  by
Holdings of its 13 1/4% Senior Discount Debentures due 2002 (the  "Discount
Debentures") for an aggregate amount of proceeds of $165,435, were used  by
Holdings to  redeem its  Senior Reset  Debentures due  2004 (the  "Holdings
Reset Debentures") on July 29, 1992.

                        except for per share data)



5.   Refinancings (continued)

1992 (continued)


As a  result  of  the Refinancing,  unamortized  deferred  financing  costs
elating to the  14% Notes, the  Preferred Stock and  the repayment of  term
loans under the Amended  and Restated Credit  Agreement totaling $3,325  in
the aggregate  were written  off in  1992 and,  along with  the  redemption
premiums of $5,750, are  reflected as an extraordinary  charge.  Since  the
Company was reporting under SFAS  No. 96, there was  no tax effect on  this
charge due to the  tax allocation arrangement  with Holdings and  Holdings'
net operating loss position.

6.   Inventories

Inventories at December 31, 1993 and 1992 consist of the following:

                                               1993      1992

                                             $ 44,840  $  32,685


In 1993, upon the effectiveness of the Credit Agreement, the Company  wrote
off $841 of net debt issuance costs (net of tax) and capitalized $8,935  in
new debt issuance costs.  In 1992, as part of the Refinancing, the  Company
wrote off $3,325 of net debt issuance costs and capitalized $10,250 in  new
debt issuance costs.  Amortization expense for the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1992 was $4,817 and $4,424, respectively.


9.  Income Taxes

Effective January 1, 1993,  the Company adopted  SFAS No. 109,  "Accounting
for Income  Taxes"  which requires  the  use  of the  liability  method  of
accounting for deferred income taxes.  The Company had previously  reported
under SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income  Taxes".  Under SFAS No. 96,  the
Company had recognized a federal income tax benefit from the tax losses  of
Holdings.   Under  SFAS  No. 109,  this  benefit  will be  reflected  as  a
contribution to additional paid-in capital instead of a reduction of income
tax expense.   Accordingly,  the Company  recorded a  cumulative charge  to
earnings and credit  to paid-in  capital of  $6,000 for  the difference  in
methods up to  the date of  adoption.  As  permitted by SFAS  No. 109,  the
Company has elected not to restate prior years' financial statements.

9.  Income Taxes (continued)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary  differences
between the  carrying  amounts  of assets  and  liabilities  for  financial
reporting  purposes  and  the  amounts   used  for  income  tax   purposes.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets
at December 31 are as follows:

                                                                1993
   Deferred tax liabilities:
     Tax over book depreciation                                $20,700
     Book over tax basis of assets acquired                     24,000
    
     Other                                                       6,392
       Total deferred tax liabilities                           51,092

   Deferred tax assets:
     Book reserves not yet deductible
       for tax purposes                                         20,700
     Net operating loss carryforwards                            7,800
     Benefit taken for Holdings' losses                          7,575
     Other                                                       2,000
       Total deferred tax assets                                38,075

   Net deferred tax liabilities                                $13,017

The Company files a consolidated Federal  income tax return with  Holdings.
In accordance with the tax allocation agreement thereunder, the Company  is
obligated to reimburse Holdings for the use of Holdings losses only to  the
extent that  Holdings  has  taxable  income on  a  stand-alone  basis.    A
liability has not been  established to the extent  of the use of  Holdings'
losses since the possibility of the ultimate payment for these benefits  is
considered remote.   Accordingly,  the use  of  Holdings' losses  has  been
accounted for as a contribution of capital.

Also, in  accordance with  the tax  allocation  agreement, the  Company  is
required to reimburse  Holdings for its  allocable share  of Holdings'  tax
liability.    In  1993,  the  Company's  share  of  Holdings'  federal  tax
liability, for alternative minimum tax, aggregated $300.

The income tax  provision for 1993  reflects the adoption  of SFAS No.  109
under which  the  Company provides  for  taxes as  if  it were  a  separate
taxpayer.    The  income  tax  provision  for  1992  and  1991  takes  into
consideration certain matters  covered under a  tax allocation  arrangement
with Holdings,  under which  the  Company   obtains  a federal  income  tax
benefit from Holdings' tax losses.

                                        $6,300    $2,200    $1,500


The aggregate income tax provision varied from that computed by using the
U.S. statutory rate as a result of the following:

                                         1993       1992      1991

The Company files a consolidated federal  income tax return with  Holdings.
On a consolidated basis  the Company and Holdings  have net operating  loss
carryforwards at  December 31,  1993 of  approximately $105,000  which  are
available to offset  future consolidated taxable  income of  the group  and
expire from 2001 through 2008.  The Company and Holdings, on a consolidated
basis at December 31, 1993, have $1,900 of alternative minimum tax  credits
which are available indefinitely to reduce future tax payments for  regular
federal income tax purposes.

At December 31, 1993 the Company, if reporting on a separate company basis,
would have had net operating loss carryforwards for federal tax purposes of
approximately $19,000 which are available for carryforward for a period  of
up to 15 years.

10.  Bank Credit Facility

On  December  21,   1993,  the  Company,   Containers  and  Plastics   (the
"Borrowers") and the Banks  entered into the  Credit Agreement pursuant  to
which the Banks loaned  to Silgan (i)  $60,000 of term  loans (the "A  Term
Loans") and (ii) $80,000 of term loans (the "B Term Loans"),  collectively,
the "Term Loans", and  agreed to lend  to Containers or  Plastics up to  an
aggregate of  $70,000  of  working  capital  loans  (the  "Working  Capital
Loans").  Concurrent with  the borrowings under  the Credit Agreement,  the
Company repaid in full amounts outstanding  under the Amended and  Restated
Credit Agreement. See Note 5 - Refinancings.

To secure  the obligations  of Borrowers  under the  Credit Agreement,  the
Company pledged to the  Banks principally all of  the capital stock of  its
subsidiaries and the subsidiaries have each  granted to the Banks  security
interests in  substantially  all  of their  respective  real  and  personal
property.  Such collateral also secures  on an equal and ratable basis  the
Secured Notes, subject to certain intercreditor arrangements.  Holdings has
pledged to the Banks all of the capital stock of the Company.  Holdings and
each of  the  Borrowers have  guaranteed  on a  secured  basis all  of  the
obligations of the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement.

The A  Term  Loans  mature  on  September  15,  1996  and  are  payable  in
installments during the listed years as follows:

                                          A Term Loan
     Installment Repayment Date        Principal Amount
              1994                        $ 20,000
              1995                          20,000
              1996                          20,000

The B Term  Loans mature and  are payable in  full on  September 15,  1996.
Amounts repaid under the Term Loans cannot be reborrowed.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to repay the Term Loans
(pro rata for each tranche of Term Loans) in an amount equal to 75% of  the
Company's Excess Cash  Flow (as  defined in  the Credit  Agreement) in  any
fiscal year during  the Credit Agreement  (beginning with  the 1994  fiscal
year).  Additionally, the Company is required to repay the Term Loans  (pro
rata for each tranche of Term Loans) and the Secured Notes, in an aggregate
amount equal to 80% of the net sale proceeds from certain assets sales  and
100% of  the net  equity proceeds  from  certain sales  of equity,  all  as
provided in the Credit Agreement and the Secured Notes Agreement.

10.  Bank Credit Facility (continued)

The aggregate amount of Working Capital  Loans which may be outstanding  at
any time is subject to a borrowing base limitation of the sum of (i) 85% of
eligible accounts receivable  of Containers and  Plastics and  (ii) 50%  of
eligible inventory of Containers and Plastics.  In lieu of Working  Capital
Loans, Containers and  Plastics may request  Bankers Trust to  issue up  to
$15,000 of letters of  credit (the "Letters of  Credit").  At December  31,
1993, $6,094 of Letters of Credit were outstanding.

Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Working Capital Loans can
be borrowed, repaid and  reborrowed from time to  time until September  15,
1996, on which  date all Working  Capital Loans mature  and are payable  in
full.

Each of  the Term  Loans and  each of  the Working  Capital Loans,  at  the
respective Borrower's election, consist  of loans designated as  Eurodollar
rate loans or as Base Rate loans.   Subject to certain conditions, each  of
the Term Loans and each of the Working Capital Loans can be converted  from
a Base Rate  loan into a  Eurodollar rate loan  and vice versa.   The  term
"Base Rate" means the highest of  (i) 1/2 of 1%  in excess of the  Adjusted
Certificate of Deposit Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii)  1/2
of 1%  in excess  of the  Federal  Funds Rate  (as  defined in  the  Credit
Agreement) and (iii) Bankers Trust's prime lending rate.

Interest on Term Loans  maintained as Base Rate  loans accrues at  floating
rates of 1.75% (in the case  of A Term Loans) and 2.25%  (in the case of  B
Term Loans)  over the  Base Rate.   Interest  on Term  Loans maintained  as
Eurodollar rate loans accrues at floating rates of 2.75% (in the case of  A
Term Loans) and 3.25%  (in the case of  B Term Loans)  over a formula  rate
(the "Eurodollar Rate") determined  with reference to  the rate offered  by
Bankers Trust  for dollar  deposits in  the New  York interbank  Eurodollar
market.  Interest  on Working  Capital Loans  maintained as  (i) Base  Rate
loans accrues at floating rates of 2% over the Base Rate or (ii) Eurodollar
rate loans accrues at floating  rates of 3% over  the Eurodollar Rate.   At
December 31, 1993,  the loans were  maintained as Base  Rate loans and  the
interest rate was between 7 3/4% and 8 1/4%.

Each of Containers and Plastics has agreed to jointly and severally pay  to
the Banks,  on a  quarterly basis,  a commitment  commission calculated  as
0.50% per annum on the daily  average unused portion of the Banks'  working
capital commitment  in respect  of the  Working  Capital Loans  until  such
working capital  commitment is  terminated.   Additionally, Containers  and
Plastics are required  to pay  to Bankers Trust,  on a  quarterly basis  in
arrears, a letter of credit fee of 3.0% per  annum and a facing fee of  1/4
of 1% per annum, each on the average daily stated amount of each letter  of
credit issued for the account of Containers or Plastics, respectively.

                        except for per share data)


10.  Bank Credit Facility (continued)

The Credit  Agreement  requires  the  Company  to  meet  certain  financial
covenants, and  restricts  or  limits,  among  other  items,  each  of  the
Borrowers' ability  to  (i)  incur  additional  indebtedness,  (ii)  create
certain liens, (iii) consolidate, merge or  sell assets, (iv) make  capital
expenditures and (v) pay dividends, except for distributions to Holdings to
fund federal and state tax obligations.

For 1993, 1992  and 1991, respectively,  the average  amount of  borrowings
under the  Working Capital  Loans was  $51,935, $44,525,  and $56,342;  the
average annual  interest rate  was 6.5%,  7.2% and  9.0%; and  the  highest
amount of  such  borrowings  at any  month-end  was  $80,250,  $80,800  and
$81,300.

11.  Senior Secured Notes

The Secured Notes  constitute senior indebtedness  of the  Company and  are
secured by a first lien on substantially all of the assets of the  Company.
Such collateral also  secures on  an equal  and ratable  basis, subject  to
certain intercreditor arrangements, all  indebtedness of the Company  under
the Credit Agreement.  The Secured Notes  mature on June 30, 1997 and  bear
interest, which is payable quarterly, at  a rate of three-month LIBOR  plus
3%.  The interest rate is adjusted quarterly.  The interest rate in  effect
at December 31, 1993 was 6.38%.

The Secured Notes are redeemable at the  option of the Company at par  plus
accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.  Net cash proceeds from
certain asset sales and  the issuance of capital  stock by the Company  are
required to be applied to prepay  the Secured Notes and indebtedness  under
the Credit Agreement on a pro rata basis, subject to certain exceptions.

The Secured  Notes  contain  covenants which  are  comparable  to  or  less
restrictive than those required by the Credit  Agreement.  These  covenants
limit, among other  items, the Company's  ability to  (i) incur  additional
indebtedness, (ii) pay dividends, except  for distributions to Holdings  to
fund  federal  and  state  tax   obligations,  (iii)  enter  into   certain
transactions with affiliates, (iv) repay subordinated indebtedness, and (v)
effect certain mergers, consolidations and transfers of assets.

12. 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes

The 11  3/4% Notes,  which mature  on June  15, 2002,  represent  unsecured
general  obligations  of  Silgan,  subordinate  in  right  of  payment   to
obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the Secured Notes
and effectively subordinate to all of  the obligations of the  subsidiaries
of the Company.  Interest is payable semi-annually on June 15 and  December
15.

The 11 3/4% Notes are redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole  or
in part, at any  time during the  twelve months commencing  June 15 of  the
following years at the indicated percentages of their principal amount plus
accrued interest:
                                                  Redemption
                         Year                     Percentage

                         1999 and thereafter      100.0000%

The 11 3/4% Notes Indenture contains  covenants which are comparable to  or
less restrictive  than  those required  by  the Credit  Agreement  and  the
Secured Notes.

The estimated fair  value of the  11 3/4% Notes  at December  31, 1993  was
$145,800.

13. Preferred Stock

The Preferred Stock holders  received cumulative preferential dividends  at
the rate per annum  of 15% per  share calculated as  a percentage of  $100.
Dividends were, at the option of the Company, paid in additional shares  of
Preferred Stock.   During  1992 and  1991, the  Company issued  21,301  and
38,173 shares  of  Preferred Stock  at  $100 per  share,  representing  its
Preferred Stock dividend  requirement for the  two quarters  ended May  15,
1992 and  the four  quarters ended  November  15, 1991.   A  cash  dividend
payment of $1,137 was made for the quarter ended August 15, 1992.

As of  December  31, 1993,  the  Company  has authorized  1,000  shares  of
Preferred Stock, of which, none is issued or outstanding.

14.  Retirement Plans

The  Company  sponsors  contributory   and  non-contributory  pension   and
retirement plans which cover substantially all employees, other than  union
employees covered  by multi-employer  defined benefit  pension plans  under
collective bargaining agreements.  The benefits are paid based on either  a
career average, final  pay or years  of service formula.   With respect  to
certain hourly employees, pension benefits are provided for based on stated
amounts for each  year of service.   The Company  funds the minimum  amount
required under the  Employee Retirement Income  Security Act  of 1974  with
certain  employees   contributing   approximately  3%   of   their   annual
compensation.

14.  Retirement Plans (continued)

The provisions of SFAS No. 87, "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" require
recognition in the  balance sheet of  an additional  minimum liability  and
related intangible asset  for pension  plans with  accumulated benefits  in
excess of plan assets.   At December 31,  1993, an additional liability  of
$2,107 and  an  intangible asset  of  equal  amount are  reflected  in  the
consolidated balance sheet.   The additional  liability is principally  the
result of the change in the assumed discount rate.

Based on the  latest actuarial information  available, the following  table
sets forth the defined benefit plans  funded status and amounts  recognized
in the Company's balance sheets as of December 31:

                                                1993          1992

The 1992 funded status amounts have  been restated to reflect revisions  in
actuarial computations.  These revisions had no effect on the Company's net
pension liability.

In addition to  amounts set forth  above, the Company  has assumed  defined
benefit plan obligations  of approximately  $11,000 (as  calculated at  the
Company's discount rate of 7 1/2%) in connection with the acquisition of DM
Can.  Under the terms of the DM  Can purchase agreement, Del Monte will  be
transferring to  the  Company  fund  assets  of  approximately  $9,000  (as
computed using a discount rate of 9%).

14.  Retirement Plans (continued)

The assumptions used in determining actuarial present value of plan benefit
obligations as of December 31:

                                      1993         1992             1991

    return on plan assets             8.5%         8.5%             8.5%


The components of total pension expense are as follows:

                                           1993      1992      1991

Service cost                              $1,809    $1,722     $1,816

Plan assets  are invested  in money  market funds,  equity funds  and  bond
funds.

In 1991,  the  Company realized  a  curtailment gain  of  $2,500 due  to  a
reduction in the Company's work force.  Such amount has not been  reflected
in total pension expense above.

Containers sponsors a deferred incentive savings plan for eligible salaried
employees where  contributions are  provided  if Containers  meets  certain
financial targets.  The maximum aggregate amount of awards will not  exceed
15%  of  the  aggregate   salaries  of  the   participants  in  the   Plan.
Contributions of $1,630,  $1,730 and $1,700  were made for  1993, 1992  and
1991, respectively.

Plastics sponsors a savings  and investment plan  which is organized  under
Section 401(k) of the  Internal Revenue Code.   Plastics' contributions  to
the plan were $146, $147 and $149 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

15.  Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

As discussed in Note  2, the Company adopted  SFAS No. 106 in  1993.    The
Company has elected to immediately recognize a cumulative charge of  $3,125
(after related  income  taxes of  $1,875)  for this  change  in  accounting
principle  which   represents   the  accumulated   postretirement   benefit
obligation existing  as of  January 1,  1993.   This change  in  accounting
principle, excluding the cumulative effect, decreased pretax income for the
year ended December  31, 1993 by  approximately $478.   The  postretirement
benefit cost  for 1992  and 1991,  which was  recorded on  a  pay-as-you-go
basis, has not been restated and was not material.

The Company has defined benefit health  care and life insurance plans  that
provide postretirement  benefits  to  certain employees.    The  plans  are
contributory, with  retiree contributions  adjusted annually,  and  contain
cost sharing features including deductibles  and coinsurance.  The  Company
does not fund the plans.

The  following  table  presents  the  plan's  funded  status  and   amounts
recognized in the Company's balance sheet as of December 31, 1993:

Accumulated postretirement
 benefit obligation:
   Retirees                                        $1,209
   Fully eligible active plan participants          1,197
   Other active plan participants                   2,127        
                                                    4,533

Plan assets at fair value                             -  

Accumulated postretirement benefit
 obligation in excess of plan assets                4,533
Unrecognized net gain or (loss)                      (462)       
Unrecognized transition obligation                    -  
Accrued postretirement benefit cost                $4,071


Net periodic postretirement  benefit cost for  1993 included the  following
components:

Service cost                                       $  152
Interest cost                                         326

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost           $  478

                     DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991
                           (Dollars in thousands
                        except for per share data)



15.  Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions (continued)

The weighted-average  discount rate  used  in determining  the  accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5%.   The weighted average rate  of
increase in  future  compensation  levels was  4.5%.    For  measuring  the
expected postretirement  benefit  obligation, the  weighted-average  annual
assumed rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered benefits  (i.e.,
health care cost  trend rate)  principally used is  14% for  1994 (15%  for
1993).  This rate is assumed to decrease by 1% per year to an ultimate rate
of 6%.   A 1%  increase in  the trend  rate assumption  would increase  the
accumulated postretirement benefit  obligation as of  December 31, 1993  by
approximately $62 and increase  the aggregate of  the service and  interest
cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1993 by
approximately  $12.    As  of  December  31,  1992,  the  plan's   unfunded
accumulated postretirement  benefit  obligations for  retirees  and  active
participants was $1,144 and $3,856, respectively.

16.  Stock Option Plans

Containers and Plastics have  established separate but virtually  identical
stock option plans  for their key  employees pursuant to  which options  to
purchase shares of common stock of Holdings' and its subsidiaries and stock
appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted.

Options granted under the  plans may be either  incentive stock options  or
non qualified stock options.  To date, all stock options granted have  been
non qualified stock options.  Under the plans, Containers and Plastics have
each reserved 1,200 shares of their common stock in order to enable them to
issue shares under  the plans.   Both Containers and  Plastics have  10,800
shares of $0.01 par value common stock currently issued, all of which are
owned by Silgan.

The SARs extend to all of the shares covered by the options and provide for
the payment by either Containers  or Plastics, as the  case may be, to  the
holders of the options an amount  in cash or stock  equal to the excess  of
the proforma book value, as defined, of a share of common stock (or in  the
event of a  public offering, the  fair market value  of a  share of  common
stock) over the exercise price of  the option with certain adjustments  for
the  portion  of  vested  stock  appreciation  not  paid  at  the  time  of
recapitalization in  June,  1989.   The  subsidiaries  have  the  right  to
repurchase, and employees  have the right  to require  the subsidiaries  to
repurchase, their common stock at the  then proforma book value, or  market
value as the case may be, should employees leave the Company.

                        except for per share data)



16.  Stock Option Plans (continued)

At December 31, 1993, there were  outstanding options for 816 shares  under
the Containers' Plan and 300 shares under the Plastics' Plan.  The exercise
prices per share range  from $2,122 to $2,456  for the Containers'  options
and are $746 for  the Plastics' options.   There were  528 options and  240
options  exercisable  at  December  31,  1993  under  the  Containers'  and
Plastics' plans, respectively.   The Company  incurred charges relating  to
the vesting and payment  of benefits under the  stock option plans of  $200
and $350 in 1993 and 1992, respectively (none in 1991).

The stock options and SARs generally become exercisable ratably over a five
year period.

In the event  of a public  offering of any  of the  Company's or  Holdings'
capital stock or a sale of  the Company or Holdings  to a third party,  (i)
the options granted by  Containers and Plastics pursuant  to the plans,  or
(ii) any stock issued  upon exercise of such  options issued by  Containers
and Plastics are convertible into either  stock options or common stock  of
the Company or Holdings.  The conversion of such options or shares will  be
based upon a valuation  of Holdings and an  allocation of such value  among
the subsidiaries after giving affect to,  among other things, that  portion
of  the  outstanding  obligation  of   Holdings  allocable  to  each   such
subsidiary.


17.  Business Information

The Company is engaged in the  packaging business.  Its principal  products
are metal and  plastic containers.   Net sales  for its  metal and  plastic
containers were $445,871 and $186,319; $425,844 and $192,596; and $435,349

respectively.  Other sales amounted to $13,278, $11,599 and $10,723 for the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

One customer accounted for 34.1%, 36.5% and 32.2%, of net sales during  the
years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 respectively.  At December 31,
1993 and 1992, 12.9%  and 14.5%, respectively,  of the accounts  receivable
balance is due from this customer.

18.  Related Party Transactions

Pursuant  to  various  management  services  agreements  (the   "Management
Agreement") entered into  between Holdings,  Silgan, Containers,  Plastics,
and S&H,  Inc.  ("S&H"), a  company  wholly  owned by  Messrs.  Silver  and
Horrigan,  the  Chairman   of  the   Board  and   President  of   Holdings,
respectively, S&H provides  Holdings and the  Company and its  subsidiaries
with general  management,  supervision  and  administrative  services  (the
"Services").  In  consideration for  the Services,  S&H receives  a fee  of
4.95% (of which  0.45% is payable  to MS &  Co.) of Holdings'  consolidated
earnings before depreciation,  amortization, interest  and taxes  ("EBDIT")
until EBDIT has reached  the Scheduled Amount set  forth in the  Management
Agreement and 3.3% (of which 0.3% is payable  to MS & Co.) after EBDIT  has
exceeded the Scheduled Amount up to the Maximum Amount as set forth in  the
Management Agreement,  plus  reimbursement for  all  related  out-of-pocket
expenses.  The total amount incurred for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992 and 1991  was approximately $4,385,  $4,225 and $4,027,  respectively.
Included  in  accounts  payable  at  December   31,  1993  and  1992,   was
approximately $575 and $200, payable to S&H, respectively.

Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to
certain exceptions, to indemnify S&H and  any of its affiliates,  officers,
directors, employees,  subcontractors, consultants  or controlling  persons
against any loss or damage they may sustain arising in connection with  the
Management Agreement.

In connection with the 1992 Refinancing, MS & Co. received as  compensation
for its services as  underwriter for the Secured  Notes, the 11 3/4%  Notes
and the Discount Debentures an aggregate of $11,500.

In connection with  the Credit Agreement  entered into in  1993, the  Banks
(including Bankers Trust) received certain fees amounting to $8,100.

19.  Commitments

office and plant  facilities, equipment  and automobiles.   Minimum  future
rental payments under these operating leases are:


                         1994                  $8,960

20. Litigation

On June 30, 1989,  Holdings acquired all of  the outstanding shares of  the
Company for $6.50 per share (the "Merger").  In connection with the Merger,
two complaints were filed during 1989 in the Court of Chancery in the State
of Delaware (the  "Court") by certain  Silgan Class  B Common  Stockholders
against Silgan, Holdings, MS & Co., officers and directors.

The complaints allege, among other things, that certain defendants breached
their fiduciary  duties  under Delaware  law  to minority  stockholders  of
Silgan by engaging in  unfair dealing, attempting to  effect a merger at  a
grossly inadequate price and distributing misleading proxy materials.   The
complaints ask the Court, among other things, to rescind the Merger  and/or
to grant to plaintiffs such damages,  including rescissory damages, as  are
found by the  Court to be  proven at trial.   Additionally, the  plaintiffs
each filed a petition for appraisal.

In 1991,  the  Court  stayed  one of  the  actions  and  related  appraisal
proceeding based upon the  seizure and placement  into receivership of  one
plaintiff.   The  Court  lifted  the  stay  of  the  action  and  appraisal
proceeding on  March  30, 1992  and  both  the action  and  appraisal  were
dismissed in February 1994 following settlement  with the plaintiffs.   The
second action  was  voluntarily  dismissed  on  January  29,  1992  without
prejudice to the  right of the  plaintiffs to reinstate  the action at  the
conclusion of the related appraisal proceeding.  Discovery is proceeding in
the appraisal.  The Court has set the week of May 9, 1994 for trial.

Additionally, a complaint was filed by parties who are limited partners  of
The Morgan Stanley Leveraged Equity Fund,  L.P. ("MSLEF") against a  number
of defendants including Silgan  and Holdings.   The complaint alleges  that
Silgan and  Holdings  aided  and abetted  the  general  partners  MSLEF  in
breaching their  fiduciary  duties to  the  limited partners.    The  Court
dismissed all claims against Silgan and Holdings related to this action  on
January  14,  1993,  and  subsequently  upheld  that  dismissal  after  the
plaintiff filed a motion for reargument.

The defendants believe that there is  no factual basis for the  allegations
and claims contained in the complaints.  Management also believes that  the
lawsuits  are  without  merit  and  they  intend  to  defend  the  lawsuits
vigorously.  In addition, management believes that the ultimate  resolution
of these matters  and the appraisal  proceedings will not  have a  material
effect on the  financial condition or  results of operations  of Silgan  or
Holdings.

20. Litigation (continued)

In connection with  the Merger and  the litigation described  above, as  of
December 31, 1993 approximately $6,800 of  the purchase price has not  been
paid to certain former  stockholders and such amount  has been recorded  by
Holdings as a current liability.  To the extent the Company elects to  make
such payments to  former stockholders, the  Company's stockholder's  equity
could be reduced by the amount of such payment.

Other than the  actions mentioned above  there are no  other pending  legal
proceedings, other  than  ordinary  routine litigation  incidental  to  the
business of the Company, to which the Company is a party or to which any of
its properties are subject.
