Ball will close a leased facility in Alliance, Ohio, which was one of 10 manufacturing locations in the U.S. acquired from U.S. Can. The plant manufactures plastics pails, primarily for paints and chemicals. Equipment in the facility will be relocated to other Ball plants in Ohio and Georgia.

Ball's Canadian subsidiary will close a metal food can manufacturing plant in Burlington, Ont., which was part of Ball's their can operations prior to the acquisition. The facility produces three piece steel food can bodies and ends, and does metal cutting and coating. Some equipment from the plant will be relocated to other Ball facilities and the remaining items will be sold or scrapped.

The closure of the Alliance plant will be treated as an opening balance sheet item related to the U.S. Can acquisition. Ball will record a fourth quarter after-tax charge of approximately $25 million related to equipment disposal and the Burlington closure.

The employees at the plastics and metals facilities being closed will be paid severance and offered transition services. The Alliance plant has approximately 40 employees and the Burlington plant has approximately 300 employees.
