“These investments, supported by numerous long-term customer contracts, will enable us to serve customer and consumer needs for more sustainable beverage packaging while furthering our Drive for 10 vision for long-term success.”

Pittston has been selected due to the current infrastructure, vicinity to key distribution routes and regional labour base.

Last month, Ball completed the acquisition of Tubex Industria E Comercio de Embalagens. The deal included the impact extruded aluminium aerosol packaging business along with a manufacturing plant in Itupeva, near Sao Paolo, Brazil.

In May this year, Ball selected consumer packaged goods sales and marketing agency Acosta for its aluminium cup.
