About Ball

Ball makes aluminum cans and bottles for drinks and household goods. The company helps beverage and personal care brands package their products safely. It sells these lightweight, recyclable containers to large businesses all over the world.

What Ball Makes

  • Beverage Packaging, North and Central America: Aluminum cans for soft drinks, beer, and energy drinks; generated 48% of consolidated net sales in 2025.
  • Beverage Packaging, EMEA: Cans and ends for customers in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa; accounted for 30% of consolidated net sales in 2025.
  • Beverage Packaging, South America: Aluminum containers for regional beverage fillers; contributed 16% of consolidated net sales in 2025.
  • Personal and Home Care: Extruded aerosol containers, recloseable bottles, and aluminum slugs for household products; represented less than 5% of consolidated net sales in 2025.

Growth and Expansion

  • Completed the divestiture of its aerospace business on February 16, 2024, to focus on aluminum packaging operations.
  • Acquired Alucan Entec in late October 2024 to expand its personal and home care manufacturing footprint in Europe.
  • Purchased Florida Can Manufacturing in the first quarter of 2025, adding a facility in Winter Haven, Florida.
  • Sold a 41% interest in Ball United Arab Can Manufacturing Company on August 27, 2025, to deconsolidate its Saudi Arabian business.
  • Deconsolidated its aluminum cups business after closing a transaction for that unit on March 21, 2025.

Operational Strengths

Ball operates a vast network of 67 manufacturing facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia to stay close to multinational customers. The company uses the Ball Business System to drive efficiency and meet high standards for carbon footprint reduction and product circularity.

Financial Performance

  • Consolidated net sales rose to $13.16 billion in 2025, up 11.6% from $11.8 billion in 2024.
  • Operating income reached $339 million in Q4 2025, a 104.2% increase compared to Q4 2024.

Bottom Line

Ball has transitioned into a pure-play aluminum packaging company by divesting its aerospace and specialty units. This strategy focuses on meeting the global demand for sustainable, recyclable containers through high-volume manufacturing and long-term customer contracts.
