     The purpose of this  filing is to amend Item 14(a) of the Annual  Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended  December 31, 1995 (as amended  prior to the
date hereof,  the "Report") of Silgan  Holdings Inc. (the  "Company") to exclude
from the Report the financial  statements  and  schedules of Silgan  Corporation
("Silgan"),  the Company's wholly owned subsidiary.  For the year ended December
31, 1995, the Company had five full years of historical financial statements and
as a result was not  required  to include  the  financial  statements  of Silgan
Corporation,  its predecessor  company,  in the Report. The condensed  financial
schedules of the Company included in the Report have also been amended hereby to
adjust the "Investment in subsidiary"  and "Amount payable to subsidiary"  items
therein to reclassify at December 31, 1995 a distribution  received from Silgan,
which was originally  classified as an advance from Silgan,  to a dividend.  The
financial  statements  of the Company and,  other than as described  above,  the
condensed  financial schedules of the Company included herewith are identical in
all respects to the financial  statements and condensed  financial  schedules of
the Company included with the Report.

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,  1995  and  1994,  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,
1995.  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, 1995  and 1994, and  the
consolidated results of its operations and  its cash flows for each of  the
three years  in the  period ended  December 31, 1995,  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  Notes  2  and  12  to  the  consolidated  financial
statements, in 1993 the Company changed its method of accounting for income
taxes,  postemployment  benefits  and  postretirement  benefits  other than
pensions.  Also, the schedule of condensed financial  information of Silgan
Holdings  Inc.  listed in the  index at Item  14(a)  has been  restated  to
reclassify advances from Silgan Corporation,  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of
Silgan Holdings Inc., to a dividend.

                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


1.     Basis of Presentation

Silgan  Holdings   Inc.  ("Holdings",   together  with   its   wholly-owned
subsidiary, the "Company") is a company controlled by Silgan management and
The Morgan  Stanley  Leveraged Equity  Fund  II,  L. P.  ("MSLEF  II"),  an
affiliate of Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated ("MS & Co").  Holdings owns
all of  the outstanding  common stock  of Silgan  Corporation   ("Silgan").
Since 1993, Silgan has made two significant acquisitions.  Silgan  acquired
the U. S. metal container manufacturing  business of Del Monte  Corporation
("Del Monte") in 1993 and it acquired the Food Metal and Specialty business
from American National Can Company ("ANC") in 1995.  Both acquisitions were
accounted for  using  the purchase  method  of  accounting (see  Note  3  -
Acquisitions).

The Company, together with  its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries  Silgan
Containers  Corporation  ("Containers")  and  Silgan  Plastics  Corporation
("Plastics"), is predominantly engaged in the manufacture and sale of steel
and  aluminum  containers  for  human  and  pet  food  products  and   also
manufactures  custom  designed  plastic  containers  used  for  health  and
personal care products.  Principally, all of  the Company's businesses  are
based in the United  States.  Foreign subsidiaries  are not significant  to
the consolidated  results  of  operations  or  financial  position  of  the
Company.


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include  the accounts of the  Company
and its  subsidiaries, all  of which  are  wholly-owned.   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 statement amounts are  translated
at the average of monthly exchange rates.

Certain  reclassifications  have  been  made  to  prior  year's   financial
statements to conform with current year presentation.

                     DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents  represent short-term,  highly liquid  investments  having
original maturities of three months or less from the time of purchase.  The
carrying values of these assets approximate their fair values.  As a result
of the Company's cash management system, checks issued and presented to the
banks for payment may create negative cash balances.  Checks outstanding in
excess of related  cash balances  totaling approximately  $30.0 million  at
December 31, 1995  and $5.4 million  at December 31,  1994 are included  in
trade accounts payable.

Inventories

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

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are   stated  at  historical  cost   less
accumulated depreciation. Major  renewals and betterments  that extend  the
life of an asset are capitalized  and repairs and maintenance  expenditures
are charged to  expense as incurred.   Depreciation is  computed using  the
straight-line method  over their  estimated useful  lives.   The  principal
estimated useful lives are 35 years for buildings and range between 3 to 18
years for machinery  and equipment.   Leasehold improvements are  amortized
over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease.

Goodwill

The Company has classified as goodwill the cost in excess of fair value  of
net assets acquired in purchase transactions.   Goodwill is stated at  cost
less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is computed on a straight-line
basis over periods ranging from 20  to 40 years.  The Company  periodically
evaluates the existence of goodwill  impairment to access whether  goodwill
is fully recoverable  from projected, undiscounted  net cash  flows of  the
related business  unit.    Impairments would  be  recognized  in  operating
results if a permanent reduction in values were to occur.

                     DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

Other Assets

Other assets consist  principally of debt  issuance costs  which are  being
amortized on  a straight-line  basis over  the terms  of the  related  debt
agreements (5 to  10 years).   Other intangible assets  are amortized  over
their expected useful lives using the straight-line method.

Income Taxes

Effective January  1,  1993, the  Company  adopted Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  Under
SFAS No. 109,  the liability method  is used to  calculate 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.

Postemployment Benefits

During 1993, the Company adopted SFAS  No. 112, "Employers' Accounting  for
Postemployment Benefits".   SFAS No.  112 requires  accrual accounting  for
employee  benefits  that  are  paid  between  the  termination  of   active
employment  but  prior  to  retirement.    Such  benefits  include   salary
continuation, disability,  severance,  and  health care.    The  cumulative
effect as of January 1, 1993 of this accounting change was to decrease  net
income by $1.3 million.  There was no tax effect for this charge due to the
net operating loss position of the Company.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts for cash,  accounts receivable, accounts payable,  and
other accrued liabilities  are reflected  in the  financial statements  and
reasonably approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these items.
The carrying  value for  short and  long-term debt  also approximates  fair
value but  may  vary  due  to changing  market  conditions.    Methods  and
assumptions used to estimate fair value and the fair value of the Company's
debt instruments are disclosed in Note 9.

2.     Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles  requires management to  make estimates  and
assumptions that effect  the reported  amounts of  assets and  liabilities,
revenues and expenses,  as well as  footnote disclosures  in the  financial
statements.  Actual results may differ from those estimates.


3.     Acquisitions

During the  three years  ended  December 31,  1995,  the Company  made  two
acquisitions, as  discussed  below.   Both  were accounted  for  using  the
purchase method  of accounting  and the  results  of operations  have  been
included with the Company's results from the respective acquisition  dates.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
was allocated to goodwill.

Fiscal year 1995 acquisition

On August 1, 1995,  Containers acquired from ANC  substantially all of  the
fixed assets and  working capital,  and assumed  certain specified  limited
liabilities, of ANC's  Food Metal &  Specialty business  ("AN Can"),  which
manufactures, markets and  sells metal  food containers  and rigid  plastic
containers for a variety of food  products and metal caps and closures  for
food and beverage products.  The purchase price for the assets acquired and
the  assumption  of  certain   specified  liabilities,  including   related
transaction costs,  was $364.0  million (including  $15.2 million  for  the
operations of ANC's  St. Louis, MO  facility which the  Company intends  to
purchase  by  mid-1996  upon   completion  of  a  rationalization   project
undertaken at that location).

3.     Acquisitions  (continued)

The purchase price was  allocated to the  tangible and identifiable  assets
acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values  as
determined from  preliminary  appraisals and  valuations  which  management
believes are reasonable.  The purchase  price allocation will be  finalized
within one year of  the acquisition date.   Differences between actual  and
preliminary valuations will cause adjustments to the AN Can purchase  price
allocation as  shown below.   Estimated  items  subject to  change  include
employee  benefit  costs  and  termination  costs  associated  with   plant
rationalization and  administrative workforce  reductions and  other  plant
exit costs.  The aggregate purchase price and its preliminary allocation to
the assets and liabilities is as follows for AN Can (dollars in thousands):

  Net working capital acquired                  $155,967
  Property, plant and equipment                  240,079
  Goodwill                                        24,832
  Other liabilities assumed                      (56,916)
                                                $363,962

Set forth below are  the Company's summary unaudited  pro forma results  of
operations for the years ended December 31,  1995 and 1994.  The pro  forma
results include  the historical  results  of the  Company  and AN  Can  and
reflect the effect of purchase accounting adjustments based on  preliminary
appraisals  and  valuations,   the  financing  of   the  acquisition,   the
refinancing  of  the   Company's  debt  obligations,   and  certain   other
adjustments as if these events occurred as of the beginning of the  periods
presented.   The pro  forma data  does not  purport to  represent what  the
Company's results of operations actually would have been if the  operations
were combined as of January  1, 1995 or 1994,  or to project the  Company's
results of operations for any future period.

                                                    1995       1994

3.     Acquisitions  (continued)

(1)Included in  pro  forma  income  from operations  for  the  year  ended
   December 31, 1995 is a charge incurred by the Company of  $14.7 million
   to adjust the  carrying value  of certain  underutilized machinery  and
   equipment  at  Silgan  facilities   (existing  prior  to  the   AN  Can
   acquisition) to net realizable value.

(2)Included in  pro  forma  income  from operations  for  the  year  ended
   December 31, 1994 are charges incurred  by AN Can of $10.1  million for
   shut down costs necessary  to realign the assets  of the business  more
   closely with  the  existing customer  base,  $16.7 million  related  to
   Silgan and $7.1 million related to AN Can to adjust the  carrying value
   of  certain  technologically  obsolete  and  inoperable   equipment  to
   realizable value, and $26.7 million  for the write-down of  goodwill by
   AN Can.

Fiscal year 1993 acquisition

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  ("DM  Can").     The  final
purchase price  for  the assets  acquired  and the  assumption  of  certain
specified liabilities,  including  related  transaction  costs,  was  $73.3
million. The  detail of  the  assets acquired  is  as follows  (dollars  in
thousands):

   Net working capital                          $ 21,944
   Property, plant and equipment                  47,167

                                                   1995        1994
                                               (Dollars in thousands)

     Land                                      $  6,355    $  3,707
     Buildings and improvements                  68,860      51,665
     Machinery and equipment                    584,526     346,061
     Construction in progress                    33,764      18,124
                                                693,505     419,557

total amount of repairs and maintenance expense was $26.9 million in  1995,
$19.9 million in 1994, and $17.1 million in 1993.

5.     Property, Plant, and Equipment  (continued)

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company extended the estimated useful  lives
of certain fixed assets to more properly reflect the true economic lives of
the assets and  to better align  the Company's depreciable  lives with  the
predominate practice  in  the industry.    The  change had  the  effect  of
decreasing depreciation  expense  and  increasing net  income  in  1994  by
approximately $1.3 million.

Based upon a review of its depreciable assets, the Company determined  that
certain adjustments  were  necessary  to properly  reflect  net  realizable
values.  In 1995,  the Company recorded a  write-down of $14.7 million  for
the excess of carrying value over  estimated realizable value of  machinery
and equipment at existing facilities which have become underutilized due to
excess capacity.   In 1994, charges  of $16.7 million  were recorded  which
included  $2.6  million  to  write-down  the  excess  carrying  value  over
estimated realizable value of  various plant facilities  held for sale  and
$14.1 million  for technologically  obsolete and  inoperable machinery  and
equipment.

In March 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" which  is
effective for  the  1996  fiscal  year.   As  required  by  this  standard,
impairment  losses  will   be  recognized   when  events   or  changes   in
circumstances indicate that  the fair value  of identified  assets is  less
than the carrying amount.  In making such a determination, the Company will
compare the undiscounted cash  flows generated by  specified assets to  the
carrying value of such assets.  The Company will adopt SFAS No. 121 in 1996
and believes the effect of adoption will not be material.


6.     Goodwill

Goodwill amortization charged to operations was $1.3 million in 1995; $1.2
million in 1994;  and $0.5 million  in 1993.   Accumulated amortization  of
goodwill at  December 31,  1995,  1994, and  1993  was $5.0  million;  $3.7
million; and $2.5 million, respectively.

1995 Bank Credit Agreement

Effective August 1, 1995, Silgan, Containers,  and Plastics entered into  a
$675.0 million credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with various banks
to finance the acquisition by Containers of AN Can, to refinance and  repay
in full all amounts owing under the previous bank credit agreement and  the
Senior  Secured  Notes  and  to  repurchase  up to $75.0 million of its  13
1/4% Senior  Discount Debentures  ("Discount Debentures").   In  connection
with the refinancing of the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred a charge
of $5.8  million (net  of taxes  of $2.6  million) in  1995 for  the  early
extinguishment of amounts owed under  existing secured debt facilities  and
for the repurchase of a portion of its Discount Debentures.

The Credit Agreement provided the Company with (i) $225.0 million of A Term
Loans, (ii) $225.0  million of B  Term Loans, and  (iii) a working  capital
revolving credit  facility  of  up  to  $225.0  million  ("Working  Capital
Loans").  The  Company used  proceeds from  the Credit  Agreement to  repay
$117.1 million  of term  loans under  the previous  bank credit  agreement,
repay in full $50.0 million of  its Senior Secured Notes due 1997,  acquire
AN Can  for $348.8  million  (excluding $15.2  million  for the  St.  Louis
operations which the Company expects  to purchase by mid-1996),  repurchase
$57.6  million  of its  Discount Debentures, and incur debt issuance  costs
of $19.3  million.   The  Company is  currently  permitted under  the  debt
facilities to make additional repurchases of its Discount Debentures  prior
to June 30, 1996.

8.     Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt  (continued)

1995 Bank Credit Agreement  (continued)

The A Term Loans mature on December 31,  2000, and the B Term Loans  mature
on March 15, 2002.  During 1995, principal repayments of $5.0 million  were
made on the A Term Loans and $2.3 million  on the B Term Loans.   Principal
is to be repaid on  each term loan in  installments in accordance with  the
Credit Agreement until maturity.

As defined in the  Credit Agreement, the Company  is required to repay  the
term loans  (ratably allocated  between the  A Term  Loans and  the B  Term
Loans) in an  amount equal to  80% of the  net sale  proceeds from  certain
asset sales and up to 100% of the net equity proceeds from certain sales of
equity.   Effective for  the year  ended December  31, 1996  and each  year
thereafter during the term of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required
to pre-pay the term loans (ratably  allocated between the A Term Loans  and
the B Term Loans) in an  amount equal to 50%  of the Company's excess  cash
flow.  Amounts repaid under the term loans cannot be reborrowed.

The  Credit  Agreement  provides  Containers  and  Plastics,  together,   a
revolving credit facility of $225.0 million for working capital needs.  The
commitment under  the  Credit  Agreement  for  Working  Capital  Loans  was
initially $150.0 million. This initial commitment will increase at the time
and by the amount the Company repurchases its Discount Debentures (up to  a
maximum commitment of $225.0 million).   As of December 31, 1995,  Holdings
had repurchased $57.6  million of Discount  Debentures, thereby  increasing
the commitment  under  the revolving  credit  facility to  $207.6  million.
After taking into account outstanding letters of credit of $6.6 million and
Working Capital Loans of $7.1 million,  the borrowings available under  the
revolving credit facility  were $193.9 million  at December 31,  1995.   In
addition to borrowings of Working Capital Loans, the Company may utilize up
to a maximum of $20.0 million in letters of credit as long as the aggregate
amount of borrowings and letters of credit do not exceed the amount of  the
commitment.  The aggregate amount of  Working Capital Loans and letters  of
credit which  may  be  outstanding at  any  time  is also  limited  to  the
aggregate of  85%  of eligible  accounts  receivable and  50%  of  eligible
inventory.  Working Capital Loans may  be borrowed, repaid, and  reborrowed
over the life of the Credit Agreement until final maturity on December  31,
2000.

8.     Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt  (continued)

1995 Bank Credit Agreement  (continued)

The borrowings  under  the  Credit  Agreement  may  be  designated  by  the
respective Borrowers as Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate borrowings.  The  Base
Rate is the higher of (i)  1/2 of 1% in  excess of Adjusted Certificate  of
Deposit Rate, or  (ii) Bankers Trust  Company's prime lending  rate.   Base
Rate borrowings bear interest at the Base Rate plus 1.50%, in the case of A
Term Loans and  Working Capital  Loans; and  2.0%, in  the case  of B  Term
Loans.  Eurodollar  Rate borrowings bear  interest at  the Eurodollar  Rate
plus 2.50% in the case of A Term Loans and Working Capital Loans; and 3.0%,
in the case of B Term Loans.  At  December 31, 1995, the interest rate  for
Base Rate borrowings was 10.0 %  and the interest rate for Eurodollar  Rate
borrowings ranged between 8.1875% and 8.9375%.

For 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, the average amount of borrowings  of
Working Capital Loans was $67.6 million,  $14.4 million and $51.9  million;
the average annual interest  rate paid on such  borrowings was 8.9%,  8.4%,
and 6.0%; and the  highest amount of such  borrowings at any month-end  was
$184.0 million, $43.9 million, and $80.3 million.

The Credit Agreement provides for the  payment of a commitment fee of  0.5%
per annum  on the  daily average  unused portion  of commitments  available
under the working capital revolving credit facility as well as a 2.75%  per
annum fee on outstanding letters of credit.

The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement  is guaranteed by Holdings  and
each of the Borrowers and secured  by a security interest in  substantially
all of the  real and  personal property  of the  Borrowers.   The stock  of
Silgan and  the stock  of principally  all of  its subsidiaries  have  been
pledged to the lenders under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement  contains various covenants  which limit or  restrict,
among other things,  investments, indebtedness,  liens, dividends,  leases,
capital expenditures, and the use of proceeds from asset sales, as well  as
requiring the Company to meet certain  specified financial covenants.   The
Company is  currently in  compliance with  all covenants  under the  Credit
Agreement.

1993 Bank Credit Agreement

Effective December 21, 1993, Silgan, Containers, and Plastics entered  into
a credit agreement with a group of  banks for $140.0 million in term  loans
and $70.0  million  in  working  capital  loans  to  finance  in  part  the
acquisition of DM Can and  repay $41.6 million of  term loans owed under  a
previous bank  credit agreement.   In  addition, Holdings  issued and  sold
250,000 shares of its Class B Common Stock for $15.0 million and, in  turn,
contributed such amount to Silgan.  As a result of the early extinguishment
of debt, the Company incurred a net charge of $1.3 million.

According to  the terms  of  this bank  credit  agreement, 80%  of  amounts
received from the sale or disposal of assets  was to be used to repay  term
loans.  Prior to  the refinancing and repayment  of this bank facility,  an
additional principal payment of  $2.5 million was made  early in 1995  from
net proceeds received from asset sales.

The Company's 11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "11 3/4% Notes") which
mature  on  June  15,   2002,  represent  unsecured  general   obligations,

11 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes  (continued)

The 11 3/4% Notes Indenture contains  covenants which are comparable to  or
less restrictive  than  those  under  the  terms  of  the  existing  Credit
Agreement.

13 1/4% Senior Discount Debentures

The 13 1/4% Senior 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 and its subsidiaries.  The original
issue discount is  being amortized through  June 15, 1996  with a yield  to
maturity of 13 1/4%.  During the year ended December 31, 1995, the  Company
repurchased $61.7 million face amount of its Discount Debentures for  $57.6
million, including  a premium  of $2.0  million.   The carrying  amount  at
December 31, 1995  of the Discount  Debentures represents  the face  amount
less an unamortized  discount of $12.1  million.  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

interest to the redemption date.

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


9.     Fair Value 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  fair value  due to  the
short duration of those investments.

9.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments  (continued)

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.

The following table presents  the carrying amounts and  fair values of  the
Company's financial instruments  recorded at  December 31,  1995 and  1994,
respectively (dollars in thousands):

The  Company  has  had   limited  involvement  with  derivative   financial
instruments and does not  use them for trading  purposes.  During 1995  and
1994, the Company was not party to any interest rate hedge agreements,  nor
did it use derivative  instruments to hedge  commodity or foreign  exchange
risks.

9.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments  (continued)

Subsequent to December  31, 1995, the  Company entered  into interest  rate
swap  agreements  in  order  to  manage  its  exposure  to  interest   rate
fluctuations.  These agreements effectively convert  interest rate exposure
from variable rate to a fixed  rate without the exchange of the  underlying
principal amounts.  The Company has  agreed to pay fixed rates of  interest
ranging from 8.1%  to 8.6% on  notional principal  amounts totaling  $100.0
million which mature  in the  year 1999.   Net payments  or receipts  under
these agreements will be recorded as adjustments to interest expense.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company derives a  significant portion of  its revenue from  multi-year
supply agreements  with many  of  its customers.    Revenues from  its  two
largest customers accounted for  approximately 36.0% of  sales in 1995  and
47.3% in 1994.  The receivable  balances from these customers  collectively
represented 28.2% and  34.4% of  accounts receivable  before allowances  at
December 31, 1995 and  1994, respectively.  As  is common in the  packaging
industry, the  Company provides  extended payment  terms  for some  of  its
customers due to the seasonality of the vegetable and fruit pack  business.
Exposure to losses is dependent on each customer's financial position.  The
Company performs  ongoing credit  evaluations of  its customer's  financial
condition  and  its  receivables  are  not  collateralized.    The  Company
maintains an allowance for doubtful  accounts which management believes  is
adequate  to  cover  potential  credit  losses  based  on  customer  credit
evaluations, collection history, and other information.

10.     Commitments

The Company has a number of  noncancelable operating leases for office  and

and $8.0 million in 1993.


11.     Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors  pension and  defined contribution  plans which  cover
substantially all employees, other than  union employees covered by  multi-
employer  defined  benefit  pension   plans  under  collective   bargaining
agreements. Pension benefits are provided 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.  It is  the Company's policy to fund accrued  pension
and defined  contribution  costs  in compliance  with  ERISA  requirements.
Assets of the plans consist primarily of equity and bond funds.

11.     Retirement Plans  (continued)

For certain  pension plans  with accumulated  benefits  in excess  of  plan
assets at  December 31,  1995  and December  31,  1994, the  balance  sheet
reflects an  additional minimum  pension liability  and related  intangible
asset of $2.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively,

 The components of net periodic pension costs for defined benefit plans are
as follows:

                                           1995      1994      1993

    Net periodic pension cost            $ 4,678   $ 4,122    $ 2,486

During 1995, the  Company recognized settlement  and curtailment losses  of
$0.4 million from the  termination  of participation in certain plans as  a
result of plant closings  and changes in pension  benefit provisions.   The
Company participates in several multi-employer pension plans which  provide
defined benefits to  certain of its  union employees.   The composition  of
total pension cost for 1995, 1994, and 1993 in the Consolidated  Statements
of Operations is as follows:

                                           1995      1994      1993

11.     Retirement Plans  (continued)

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

                                           1995      1994      1993

  Discount rate                             7.5%      8.5%      7.5%
  Weighted average rate of
    compensation increase                   4.0%      4.5%      4.5%
  Expected long-term rate of
    return on plan assets                   8.5%      8.5%      8.5%

The Company also sponsors defined  contribution pension and profit  sharing
plans covering substantially all employees.  Company contributions to these
plans are based  upon employee contributions  and operating  profitability.
Contributions charged to income for these plans were $1.7 million in  1995;
$2.5 million in 1994;  and $1.5 million  in 1993.   The decline in  defined
contributions in  1995 as  compared to  1994  resulted from  lower  profit-
sharing contributions  made for  Company employees  since target  financial
objectives were not  achieved.  This  decrease was partially  offset by  an
increase in  the  contribution  base attributable  to  additional  employee
participation as a result of the acquisition of AN Can.


12.     Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
postretirement health care and other insurance  benefits to conform to  the
provisions of  SFAS  No. 106  "Employers'  Accounting for  Post  Retirement
Benefits Other Than  Pensions", which  requires accrual  of these  benefits
over the  period during  which active  employees become  eligible for  such
benefits.  Previously, the  Company recognized the  cost of providing  such
benefits on the pay-as-you-go  basis.  The  Company elected to  immediately
recognize a cumulative charge of $5.0 million for this change in accounting
principle  which   represents   the  accumulated   postretirement   benefit
obligation existing as of January 1, 1993.

12.     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.    Retiree
health benefits are paid as covered expenses are incurred.

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

                                                       1995       1994

     Retirees                                       $ 1,587    $ 1,183
     Fully eligible active plan participants         11,647      1,521
     Other active plan participants                  14,770      2,577

Unrecognized prior service costs                       (298)       (79)
Accrued postretirement benefit liability            $24,777    $ 4,983

As of the  AN Can acquisition  date, the Company  assumed a  postretirement
benefit liability in the amount of $19.6 million for the active  population
transferred  to  the  Company  from  AN  Can.    Under  the  terms  of  the
acquisition, ANC  retained  the liability  for the retired population as of
August 1, 1995.

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost include the following components:

                                                       1995       1994

12.     Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions  (continued)

The weighted  average  discount rates  used  to determine  the  accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation  as of December  31, 1995  and 1994  were
7.5% and 8.5%, respectively.  The net periodic postretirement benefit costs
were calculated using a  discount rate ranging from  7.5% to 8.5% for  1995
and 8.5%  for 1994.   The  assumed  health care  cost  trend rate  used  in
measuring the  accumulated postretirement  benefit obligation  ranged  from
7.14% to 10.0% in  1995 and was 14%  in 1994, declining  to a rate  ranging
from 5.0% to 6.0% in the year 2003 and thereafter.

A 1% increase in the health care cost trend rate assumption would  increase
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation  as of December 31,  1995
by approximately $3.7 million and increase the aggregate of the service and
interest cost components  of the net  periodic postretirement benefit  cost
for 1995 by approximately $0.2 million.


13.     Income Taxes

The components of income tax expense are as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the net  tax effect 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:

14.     Acquisition Reserves

In connection with the acquisition of AN Can, the Company plans to  improve
operating efficiencies through  production and  facility consolidation  and
through workforce reductions.   As part of  its preliminary purchase  price
allocation, the  Company  established a  reserve  for $25.0  million  which
primarily consists  of $20.5  million for  severance  and $4.5  million  of
facility exit  costs.    The  provision  for  severance  includes  employee
termination benefits, such as,  salary continuation, pension, and  medical.
Plant exit costs  include planned  expenditures relating  to facility  shut
down, equipment  removal, and  compliance with  environmental  regulations.
During the year, $0.9 million of costs were expended for severance.  As  of
December 31,  1995, $7.1  million remained  in other  accrued expenses  for
costs expected to  be paid within  one year and  $17.0 million remained  in
long term liabilities.  Management believes that the operating improvements
will not be fully implemented until 1997 and the remaining reserve  balance
will be adequate to cover anticipated costs.


15.     Stock Option Plans

Holdings, Containers and Plastics have  established 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, Holdings has reserved 24,000
shares of its Class  C Common Stock and  Containers and Plastics have  each
reserved 1,200  shares  of their  common  stock for  issuance  under  their
respective plans.   Containers has 13,764  shares and  Plastics has  13,800
shares of  $0.01 par  value common  stock currently  issued, and  all  such
shares are owned by Silgan.

                     DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994 AND 1993


15.     Stock Option Plans  (continued)

The SARs extend to the shares covered by the options for the Containers and
Plastics plans and provide for the payment to the holders of the options of
an amount in cash equal to the excess of, in the case of Containers' plans,
the pro forma book value, as defined, of a share of common stock (or in the
event of a public offering  or a change in  control (as defined), 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 rights not paid  at the time of  the recapitalization in  June
1989; or,  in the  case of  the Plastics  plan, in  the event  of a  public
offering or a change in  control (as defined), the  fair market value of  a
share of common stock over the exercise price of the option.

Prior to a public offering or  change in control, should an employee  leave
Containers, Containers has the  right to repurchase,  and the employee  has
the right  to require  Containers to  repurchase, the  common  stock at the
then pro forma book value.

At December  31, 1995,  there were  outstanding options  for 24,000  shares
under the Holdings  plan, 936 shares  under the Containers  plan and  1,200
shares under the Plastics plan.   The exercise prices per share range  from
$35 to $61 for the Holdings options,  range from $2,122 and $4,933 for  the
Containers options and $126  to $943 for the  Plastics options.  The  stock
options and  SARs generally  become exercisable  ratably over  a  five-year
period.           At      December      31,      1995,      there      were
16,800 options  exercisable  under  the Holdings  plans,  840  options/SARs
exercisable under  the Containers  plan  and 180  options/SARs  exercisable
under the Plastics  plan.   The Company  incurred charges  relating to  the
vesting and  payment of  benefits  under the  stock  option plans  of  $0.8
million in 1995; $1.5 million in 1994; and $0.2 million in 1993.

In the event of a public  offering of any of  Holdings' capital stock or  a
change in control of  Holdings, (i) the options  granted by Containers  and
Plastics pursuant to the plans and  (ii) any stock issued upon exercise  of
such options issued by Containers are convertible into either stock options
or common stock of Holdings, as  the case may be.   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  indebtedness  of
Holdings allocable to each such subsidiary.

15.     Stock Option Plans  (continued)

In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for  Stock-Based
Compensation", effective for  the 1996 fiscal  year.  Under  SFAS No.  123,
compensation expense  for  all  stock-based  compensation  plans  would  be
recognized based on  the fair value  of the options  at the  date of  grant
using an  option pricing  model.   As  permitted under  SFAS No.  123,  the
Company may either adopt  the new pronouncement or  may continue to  follow
the current  accounting method  as prescribed  under APB.  Opinion No.  25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees".  The Company does not intend to
adopt SFAS No. 123 for expense recognition purposes in 1996.

          Preferred Stock   1,000,000                         -

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.

17.     Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to  various management  services agreements  entered into  between
Holdings, Silgan, Containers,  Plastics, and S&H,  Inc. ("S&H"), a  company
wholly-owned by Messr. Silver, the Chairman and Co-Chief Executive  Officer
and Messr.  Horrigan,  the President  and  Co-Chief Executive  Officer,  of
Holdings and Silgan,  S&H provides  Holdings, Silgan  and its  subsidiaries
with general  management,  supervision  and administrative  services.    In
consideration for its 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 Agreements  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
Agreements, plus reimbursement for all related out-of-pocket expenses.  The
total amount incurred under the Management  Agreements was $5.4 million  in
1995, $5.0 million  in 1994, and  $4.4 million in  1993 and was  allocated,
based upon EBDIT, as a charge to operating income of each business segment.
Included in  accounts payable  at  December 31,  1995  and 1994,  was  $0.1
million payable to S&H.

Under the  terms of  the Management  Agreements,  the Company  has  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 Agreements.

In connection with the refinancings and bank credit agreements entered into
during 1995  and  1993,  the  banks  thereunder  (including  Bankers  Trust
Company) received fees totaling $17.2 million  in 1995 and $8.1 million  in
1993.

18.     Litigation

In connection with  the acquisition by  Holdings of Silgan  as of June  30,
1989 (the "Merger"), a decision was rendered in 1995 by the Delaware  Court
of Chancery with respect to appraisal  proceedings filed by certain  former
stockholders of  400,000 shares  of  stock of  Silgan.   Pursuant  to  that
decision, these former holders  were awarded $5.94  per share, plus  simple
interest at a rate of 9.5%.  This award was less than the amount, $6.50 per
share, that these former  holders would have received  in the Merger.   The
right of these former holders to  appeal the Chancery Court's decision  has
expired, and the  Company has  tendered payment  of $3.8  million to  these
former holders.  In 1994, prior to the trial for appraisal, the Company and
the former  holders of  an additional  650,000 shares  of stock  of  Silgan
agreed  to a  settlement in  respect  of  their appraisal  rights, and  the
Company  made a payment  of $6.9 million, including interest, in respect of 
the settlement.

With respect to a complaint filed by limited partners of The Morgan Stanley
Leveraged Equity  Fund,  L.P. against  a  number of  defendants,  including
Silgan and Holdings, all claims against Silgan and Holdings related to this
action were dismissed on January 14, 1993.  The plaintiff's time to  appeal
the dismissal of the claims against  Holdings and Silgan expired  following
the dismissal of the claims against certain other defendants in June 1995.

Other than the actions  mentioned above, there are  no other pending  legal
proceedings to  which  the Company  is  a party  or  to which  any  of  its
properties are subject which would have a material effect on the  Company's
financial position.
