About Ball
The well-rounded Ball Corporation pitches packaging to companies producing food, beverage, and household goods. Food and beverage packaging includes steel cans and aluminum slugs. Ball's packaging revenue derives primarily from long-term contracts with a relatively few customers, such as SABMiller and bottlers of Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola brands in Argentina, Brazil, China, Europe, and North America. Ball Aerospace & Technologies manufactures an array of defense systems, from remote-sensing satellites to telescopes, surveillance, and antenna and video devices, as well as provides systems engineering services. The Department of Defense, NASA, and their prime contractors, represent 90% of this segment's sales.
Ball Corporation supplies innovative, sustainable aluminum packaging solutions for beverage, personal care and household products customers, as well as aerospace and other technologies and services to commercial and governmental customers. Founded in 1880, the company employs more than 21,500 people worldwide. Ball Corporation stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BLL.
