Ball Acquires Alucan to Expand Aerosol Can Production in Europe

Alucan

Ball Corporation, a leader in sustainable packaging solutions, has acquired European impact extruder, Alucan, for €82 million ($88 million). This acquisition includes Alucan’s manufacturing facilities in Linars del Vallés, Spain, and Lummen, Belgium. With this move, Ball strengthens its position in the European market, enhancing its ability to produce large-diameter aerosol cans and impact-extruded bottles. This strategic purchase is expected to boost Ball’s capacity for personal and home care product packaging, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable solutions.

Strategic Move for European Expansion

The addition of Alucan's production capabilities allows Ball to further diversify its product range while optimizing its supply chain across Europe. Ball anticipates the new factories will also help reduce the company’s carbon footprint by enabling more efficient production and distribution. This acquisition marks a significant step in Ball’s efforts to meet the evolving needs of the European packaging market and expand its sustainability initiatives.
