Abstract: The invention relates to apparatus and method for forming (e.g. die necking) open ends of open-ended metal container bodies. Such an apparatus may include a number of movable holders for container bodies that move the container bodies along a path extending through the apparatus (preferably around the periphery of one or more star wheels). A motor advances the holders and container bodies along the path in steps with pauses between each step. Each step advances one or more container bodies (and preferably two or more). One or more groups of work stations positioned adjacent to the path provides tool sets for carrying out a forming operation on one (and preferably two or more) container bodies simultaneously. Individual container bodies, or more preferably groups of two or more, are subjected to one or more forming operations during passage along the path.
