Ball to expand can capacity with new plants in UK and Russia

摘要

Ball Corp. is aiming to expand its manufacturing capacity with new facilities in the UK and Russia. The plant will start operations in 2023. Each facility will manufacture billions of cans a year across a range of formats and sizes. Ball has identified a site in Kettering in England and anticipates breaking ground during 2021, following a period of public consultation. Carey Causey, president of Ball Beverage Packaging EMEA, said: “With the demand for our infinitely recyclable aluminium packaging growing fast in an expanding number of categories, we are acting now to support our customers in the UK and Russia. The pandemic and changing consumption patterns mean that consumers are enjoying more of their favourite beverages at home and on-the-go and want to buy products in packages that they know will be recycled and can contribute to a truly circular economy.”
