Ball’s western re-entry and the regional can making pressures

Ball Corporation has selected the city of Millersburg, Oregon, for its next beverage can manufacturing facility, part of an ongoing effort to expand its North American production footprint.

The company announced during an earnings call in February that it had acquired Florida Can Manufacturing and would be adding a two-line facility in the Pacific Northwest. The exact location had not been finalized at the time.
