The plant’s customers will be supplied by other Ball facilities.
Michael W Feldser, chief operating officer of Ball’s global metal food and household products packaging business, said: “Closing Elgin reduces capacity and, coupled with other changes within our manufacturing system, will enable us to maximise value in our existing business by supplying customers from a consolidated asset base and redistributing some manufacturing operations within our system.”
The Elgin plant produces aerosol and specialty steel cans as well as flat steel sheet used by other Ball food and household products packaging facilities.
