Ball Corporation plans to build a new U.S. aluminum beverage packaging plant in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The $290 million project is expected to create roughly 180 jobs.

The multi-line plant, scheduled to begin production in late 2022, will supply a range of innovative can sizes to a variety of beverage customers.

"Our new North Las Vegas plant is Ball's latest investment to serve accelerating demand for our portfolio of infinitely recyclable aluminum containers," said Kathleen Pitre, president, Ball beverage packaging North & Central America. "The new plant is supported by numerous long-duration contracts for committed volume with our strategic global partners and regional customers and will enable us to serve customer and consumer needs for more sustainable aluminum beverage packaging while furthering our Drive for 10 vision."

The company supplies innovative, sustainable aluminum packaging solutions for beverage, personal care and household products customers, as well as aerospace and other technologies and services primarily for the U.S. government.
