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

As a teen I worked in a fish cannery,

FLATTENED can's and lids came on pallets. One "job station" was running the
"can expander", It "un-flattened" them, rolled on a bottom, and sent them
ratteling on down the line to be filled.

IIRC Ours came from AmCanCo (American Can Company)

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
