Ball Corporation announced its plan to build a new U.S. aluminum beverage packaging plant in Pittston, PA.
The multi-line plant is scheduled to begin production in mid-2021 and will create approximately 230 manufacturing jobs.
"Our new Pittston plant is Ball's latest investment to serve accelerating demand for our portfolio of infinitely recyclable aluminum containers used in the sparkling water, spiked seltzer, beer and carbonated beverage categories," said Daniel W. Fisher, chief operating officer, global beverage packaging. "Pittston will join our network of more than 20 North American plants, including a new plant currently under construction in Glendale, AZ, that is scheduled to start up early in the first quarter of 2021. These investments, supported by numerous long-term customer contracts, will enable us to serve customers and consumer needs for more sustainable beverage packaging while furthering our Drive for 10 vision for long-term success."
Ball plans to make an initial investment of more than $300 million in its Pittston facility over multiple years.
