Ball Corporation announced that it will cease food can production at the company’s Springdale, AR, tinplate food and aerosol packaging manufacturing plant during the fourth quarter of 2017.
“Given the overall decline in food can demand, our Springdale food can operations are no longer sustainable and we are electing to focus our remaining local plant resources on our growing aerosol business,” said Jim Peterson, COO, food and aerosol packaging.
The Springdale plant will continue to produce and assemble aerosol cans, cut and coat flat sheet steel, and produce components used by other Ball food and aerosol facilities.
