The company said Thursday the plant's 47 workers
would get severance pay and other services and could apply for
other positions in the company.
Production at the plant will cease in the second half of 2014.
Ball, based in Broomfield, Colo., says it will record an
after-tax charge of approximately $7 million, most of it in the
fourth quarter of 2013.
The Danville plant makes three-pieced welded aerosol cans and
ends for household products.
Ball says it will continue to supply existing customers and the
assets of the Danville plant will be distributed to other
company sites.
