Ball Corporation has acquired Alucan, a European leader in extruded aluminium aerosol and bottle technology.
The acquisition complements Ball’s existing global extruded aluminium aerosol and bottle business with the addition of manufacturing facilities in Llinars del Vallés in Barcelona, Spain, and Lummen, Belgium.
This acquisition aligns with Ball’s business strategy to simplify sustainability for its customers by delivering scalable aluminium packaging solutions, according to the company.
The new plants will enable the company to meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging across Europe, it added.
Both facilities are equipped with cutting-edge technology and aim to minimise their environmental footprint.
The acquisition of Alucan will add large-diameter aerosol can and impact extruded bottles capabilities to support Ball’s existing reusable bottles customers.
This acquisition allows the company to diversify its customer base, cross-sell with food and beverage manufacturers, and expand its bottle offerings to include personal and home care products.
“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.
