Default Canned food. Where and how are the cans made?

I have been wondering for a long time. Where and how are the cans made
for canned food? It would be costly to ship them empty from another
location so I imagine the cans are made at the food processing/
packaging plant but this is only a guess.

So anybody know anything more?

Thanks

years and years ago (late 1960's) the jones brothers cannery in
griffith australia had the machinery to make cans in a continuous
process from stamped flat sheet. wasnt a very big system. they
basically made the cans, filled them with peaches and pears and sealed
them up, then stuck the labels on. all done in house.
