Our company – from Cebal Aerosol to Ball Aerocan

Our group, with over 50 years’ experience, has 3 plants located throughout Europe:


  • Ball Aerocan CZ, Velim, Czech Republic
  • Ball Aerocan France, Bellegarde sur Valserine
  • Ball Aerocan UK, Devizes


Until 2003, CEBAL, Aerosol and Aluminium Bottle Division , was part of the Pechiney Group.

In December 2003, PECHINEY was bought by ALCAN.
CEBAL Aerosol Europe was incorporated into ALCAN, within the Alcan Packaging Beauty Sector.

In July 2006, Alcan sold its Aerosols and Bottles activity to CEBAL Aerosol Europe Management, in an LMBO (Leverage Management Buy Out).

On 1stOctober 2006, CEBAL Aerosol Europe changed its name to AEROCAN. The group owns all the CEBAL Aerosol Europe plants and also has co-ownership of COPAL, a company that manufactures aluminium slugs, in order to guarantee its supply.

On 18th January 2011 Ball Corporation completed its previously announced acquisition of Aerocan S.A.S. Aerocan has since been renamed Ball Aerocan. The former Aerocan plants are now managed out of Ball’s European packaging business, based in Ratingen, Germany. The addition of Aerocan, along with Ball’s acquisition in 2010 of Neuman Aluminum in the U.S., makes Ball the largest supplier of aluminum slugs in the world.
