Read MoreHide Full Article
Ball Corporation recently entered into a partnership with Coors Light in a bid to offer the infinitely recyclable Ball Aluminum Cup to visitors at the new Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
Ball Corporation’s lightweight aluminum cups fulfill customers’ increasing preference for more sustainable beverage packaging solutions over other packaging formats. These cups will offer stadium visitors enhanced beverage experience while also providing sustainability and recyclability options. In addition to sustainability and recycling strengths, these aluminum cups are durable, sturdy, and can be customized with logos and graphics.
Molson Coors Beverage Company (TAP - Free Report) makes Allegiant Stadium's official domestic beer, Coors Light. Upon the starting of activities at the Allegiant Stadium, 100,000 of the 20-ounce aluminum cups will be available in the club seats at all events. Through this partnership, Allegiant Stadium joins an increasing number of professional football stadiums that feature the Ball Aluminum Cup.
Global beverage-can demand continues to shoot up as consumers now prefer cans over glass and plastic. Thus, the company is largely investing in aluminum packaging production, in a bid to cater to this rising demand. By 2025, the global beverage can industry is projected to grow by approximately 100 billion units. The company plans to add at least 25 billion units of capacity by 2023 end and sees an opportunity to add as much as 45 billion units of capacity by 2025.

Last month, the company reported third-quarter 2020 adjusted earnings of 89 cents per share, handily beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 77 cents. The bottom line increased 27% on a year-over-year basis. Revenues of $3,093 million also surpassed the Consensus Mark of $2,976 million as well as improved 4.7% year over year.
Ball Corporation is focused on pursuing cost control, completing growth capital projects and commercializing on the inherent sustainability attributes of metal packaging, which will benefit it in the foreseeable future. Further, the company has taken actions to improve operational performance in aluminum aerosol business, while initiating additional products to expand aerospace infrastructure and testing capabilities.
