Introduction:

Ball Corporation, a leading maker of infinitely recyclable aluminium packaging, intends to begin construction of a new production facility at Pilsen Digital Park in the spring of 2021.

Features:

The development, in the West of Czech Republic, would expand Ball's output in the region to meet the growing demand from consumers who want sustainable and recyclable beverage packaging. The €170 million facility plans to employ up to 200 people and launch operations in October 2022.

The new factory, with two production lines, is planned to occupy a site of more than 100,000 m2 in the Pilsen Digital Park, enabling further expansion when required. Its construction is to be divided into two phases. The first would create around 150 new jobs and the second, raise the total to some 200 professional jobs in engineering and support roles.
