Ball Plans to Build New Aluminum Can Plant in Czech Republic
Ball Corporation intends to begin construction of a new production facility at Pilsen Digital Park in the spring of 2021. The development, in the West of Czech Republic, would expand Ball's output in the region. The €170 million facility plans to employ up to 200 people and launch operations in October 2022.
"This new facility is the next step in our commitment to the Czech Republic. In the Pilsen region we know we can find a skilled workforce close to our key customers, who will continue to benefit from our cutting-edge production processes, our commitment to the environment and a high-quality and sustainable beverage package," Carey Causey, president, Ball Beverage Packaging EMEA, says, noting the €170 million investment is part of a broader strategy for increased investment in the wider EMEA region.
