The acquisition supports Ball’s strategic commitment to making sustainability more accessible for its customers through scalable aluminium packaging solutions. The addition of these new plants will allow Ball to meet the increasing demand for sustainable packaging across Europe. Equipped with advanced technology, both facilities are designed to minimise environmental impact, reinforcing Ball’s dedication to sustainability and operational excellence.

“We are excited to welcome Alucan to Ball. Alucan has built a strong reputation over many years as the leading specialty impact-extruded aerosol and bottle producer in Europe. By integrating Alucan’s expertise, we can offer greater flexibility, innovation, and capacity to help our customers bring new products to market faster and more sustainably, ensuring that we remain a trusted partner in driving our customers’ success,” said Jay Billings, President of Ball Growth Ventures.  

Ball expanding into new categories

Ball is expanding into new categories and enhancing its reuse and refillable bottle innovations for a wider range of customers and applications. The acquisition of Alucan will introduce large-diameter aerosol cans and impact-extruded bottle capabilities, strengthening Ball’s support for its existing reusable bottle customers. This acquisition enables Ball to diversify its customer base, create cross-selling opportunities with food and beverage manufacturers, and broaden its bottle offerings to include personal and home care products.

The acquisition also strengthens Ball’s commitment to innovation and carbon footprint reduction. The company plans to lightweight Alucan’s cans and increase their recycled content. Being closer to its customers will help optimise truck capacity, effectively reducing CO2 emissions and moving closer to sustainability. Acquiring Alucan marks a significant step forward for Ball Corporation as it seeks to better serve the expanding European market for aerosol and impact-extruded bottles.
