The company’s manufacturing operations had been suspended since June 10 due to a cyberattack on its
business systems. The company’s retail sales and service operations and its office functions, which had continued to operate while production was paused, have also returned to normal operations.

On June 19, Crown announced that it had experienced a cyberattack which they attributed to an international cybercriminal organization.
