Ball Corporation, a global leader in sustainable aluminium packaging, has acquired Alucan, a top European producer of extruded aluminium aerosol and bottle technology. This acquisition, set to finalize on October 31, adds facilities in Llinars del Vallés, Spain, and Lummen, Belgium, enabling Ball to expand its sustainable packaging solutions and meet growing European demand.

Alucan’s expertise in impact-extruded aerosol and bottle production will complement Ball’s sustainable offerings, allowing for a broader product range across beverage, personal care, and home goods markets. “Alucan’s reputation and capabilities align perfectly with our goals of flexibility, innovation, and sustainability,” said Jay Billings, President of Ball Growth Ventures.

The acquisition will also allow Ball to introduce large-diameter aerosols and expand into reusable and refillable aluminium bottle categories, diversifying its customer base and creating new opportunities for food and beverage partnerships. Ball plans to lightweight Alucan’s packaging, increase recycled content, and reduce CO2 emissions by optimizing logistics.
