The new production line is worth €35m. The international beverage can producer’s latest investment in Serbia creates 50 new jobs and will boost production from 750 million to over 1.5 billion aluminium beverage cans a year for distribution to markets in the region and the European Union.
John Hayes, president and CEO of Ball Packaging, said: “Ongoing investment in technology development and production capacity, together with investment in human resources, has laid the foundation for the strong global results achieved by Ball. The factory in Serbia has so far justified our investment.
“New investment, aside from confirming the strength and efficiency of our business, leads to growth and expansion into new markets. The aim is to further expand our business into new markets and also to take advantage of favourable trade arrangements with Serbia’s neighbouring countries.”
