Ball (BLL) Company Overview
Ball Corporation (NYSE: BLL) is a manufacturer of metal and plastic packaging for beverages and foods. Most of Ball Corporation's customers are breweries and soft drink bottlers, which pay Ball to make aluminum soft drink and beer cans. The company sells 18 different beverage can sizes and helps its customers develop their own specialty cans such as a narrower 8.4oz can for Molson Cold Shots, which are currently sold in Canada.[1]
