Ball Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, Ball) supplies aluminum packaging for the beverage, personal care, and household products industries.

The company's largest product line is aluminum beverage containers, and it also produces extruded aluminum aerosol containers, recloseable aluminum bottles across multiple consumer categories, aluminum slugs, and aluminum cups. While the company has a diversified customer base, it sells a significant portion of its packaging products to major companies and brands, as well as to numerous regional customers. The company's significant customers include top consumer packaging and beverage companies.

Segments

The company reports in three segments: beverage packaging, North and Central America; beverage packaging, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (beverage packaging, EMEA); and beverage packaging, South America.

Beverage Packaging, North and Central America

Beverage packaging, North and Central America, is Ball’s largest segment, accounting for 48 percent of consolidated net sales in 2024. Aluminum beverage containers are primarily sold under multi-year supply contracts to fillers of carbonated soft drinks, beer, energy drinks, and other beverages.

Aluminum beverage containers and ends are produced at 16 manufacturing facilities in the U.S., one in Canada, and two in Mexico. The beverage packaging, North and Central America, segment also includes interests in three investments that are accounted for using the equity method.

Five companies manufacture substantially all of the aluminum beverage containers in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Ball shipped approximately 48 billion aluminum beverage containers in North and Central America in 2024, which represented approximately 34 percent of the aggregate shipments in these countries. Historically, sales volumes of metal beverage containers in North America tend to be highest during the period from April through September. All of the beverage containers produced by Ball in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico are made of aluminum. In North and Central America, a diverse base of more than six global suppliers provides almost all of the company's aluminum can and end sheet requirements.

Beverage Packaging, EMEA

The company's EMEA region operations include 19 facilities throughout Europe, and one facility each in Cairo, Egypt, and Manisa, Turkey. For the countries in which the company operates, the aluminum beverage container market is approximately 93 billion containers, and it is a producer with an estimated 39 percent of shipments in this region. The markets served by the beverage packaging, EMEA, segment, including Egypt and Turkey, are highly regional in terms of sales growth rates and packaging mix. Four companies manufacture substantially all of the metal beverage containers in EMEA. The company's EMEA beverage facilities shipped 36 billion aluminum beverage containers in 2024.

Historically, sales volumes of metal beverage containers in EMEA tend to be highest during the period from May through August, with a smaller increase in demand leading up to the winter holiday season in the U.K. Much like in other parts of the world, the aluminum beverage container competes aggressively with other packaging materials used by the beer and carbonated soft drink industries.

Beverage Packaging, South America segment

The beverage packaging, South America, segment accounted for 17 percent of Ball’s consolidated net sales in 2024. The company's operations consist of 12 facilities—nine in Brazil, and one each in Argentina, Chile, and Paraguay. For the countries where the company operates, the South American aluminum beverage container market is approximately 43 billion containers, and it is a producer in this region with an estimated 45 percent of South American shipments in 2024. Four companies manufacture substantially all of the aluminum beverage containers in the regions served by the beverage packaging, South America, segment. The company’s South American beverage facilities shipped approximately 19 billion aluminum beverage containers in 2024.

Other

Other consists of a non-reportable operating segment (beverage packaging, other) that manufactures and sells aluminum beverage containers in India, Saudi Arabia, and Myanmar; a non-reportable operating segment that manufactures and sells extruded aluminum aerosol containers and recloseable aluminum bottles across multiple consumer categories, as well as aluminum slugs (personal & home care, formerly aerosol packaging) throughout North America, South America, Europe, and Asia; a non-reportable operating segment that manufactures and sells aluminum cups (aluminum cups); undistributed corporate expenses; and intercompany eliminations and other business activities.

Beverage Packaging, Other

The company's aluminum beverage packaging operations in the beverage packaging, other, segment consist of four facilities—two in India, and one each in Saudi Arabia and Myanmar. The company's aluminum can, and end sheet requirements are provided by several suppliers. The manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia, Ball United Arab Can Manufacturing Company, is an investment 51 percent owned by Ball and consolidated in its results. In November 2024, the company entered into an agreement to sell 41 percent of its share in Ball United Arab Can Manufacturing Company.

Personal & Home Care

The company's personal & home care (PHC) operations manufacture and sell extruded aluminum aerosol containers, recloseable aluminum bottles across multiple consumer categories, and aluminum slugs, which represented less than 5 percent of Ball’s consolidated net sales in 2024. There are 10 manufacturing facilities that manufacture these products—six in Europe, and one each in Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and India. Included within the PHC facility count are facilities in Lummen, Belgium, and Llinars del Valles, Spain, that the company acquired in late-October 2024 through the acquisition of the entire share capital of Alucan Entec, S.A.
