Sponsored by Silgan Containers Manufacturing Corporation, Woodland Hills, CA
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, Silgan Non-Union Pension Plan covered 506 participants and held $158M in net assets. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by Silgan Containers Manufacturing Corporation of Woodland Hills, California.
Net assets came to $311,556 per participant, well above the $86,583 median for defined benefit plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $67,961 median for defined benefit plans in manufacturing. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
Schedule C lists 5 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $531K: $1,049 per participant, well above the same-size median of $377. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $584K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $80.4M in 2009 to $158M in 2024 (up 96%), and participants from 1,353 to 506 (down 63%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

How big is Silgan Non-Union Pension Plan?
506 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 328 were active employees, with net assets of $157,647,091. Among defined benefit plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 873 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Silgan Containers Manufacturing Corporation contribute per participant?
This filing has no Schedule H financial statement, so employer contributions are not reported here.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $530,595 in compensation to service provider organisations, $1,049 per participant or 0.34% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $377 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $583,722. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Silgan Containers Manufacturing Corporation. Investment advisory or management: Capfinancial Partners LLC. Trustee or custodian: Principal Custody Solutions. The financial statements were audited by Pension Assurance LLP. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 9 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
