Europe: Ball Corp to expand beverage can manufacturing plant in the Netherlands

Ball has announced the expansion of its beverage can manufacturing plant in Oss, the Netherlands.

The company will build an additional production line for 50-centiliter aluminium cans at the existing plant location.

“In the Benelux countries, more and more breweries are choosing cans for their beer packaging,” said Colin Gillis, president, Ball Packaging Europe.

“The Oss plant is the only beverage can manufacturing facility in the Netherlands, and this expansion will strengthen its position as a logistical hub for our business in the Benelux area and throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.”

Ball, already a major employer in Oss, will bring additional jobs to the region as a result of the expansion.

The company also will continue to invest in training and education for its employees and in support of community projects.
