Ball Corporation, often referred to as Ball Corp, is an American company that specializes in the production of metal packaging for beverages, foods, and household products. With a history spanning over 140 years, Ball Corp has established itself as a global leader in providing sustainable and innovative packaging solutions.
Founded in 1880 by the Ball brothers in Buffalo, New York, the company initially manufactured wooden-jacketed tin cans for products such as paint and kerosene. After recognizing the potential of glass packaging, Ball expanded its operations to include glass manufacturing and became one of the largest producers of glass jars in the United States.
However, as the demand for aluminum cans grew, Ball Corp diversified its offerings and entered the market for metal packaging. In 1956, the company introduced the first two-piece aluminum beverage can, which revolutionized the industry and paved the way for further expansion.
