Sterling Commerce Improves Ball Corporation's Supply Chain Efficiency

Ball Corporation is a provider of metal and plastic packaging, primarily for beverages, foods and aerosol and of aerospace and other technologies and services to commercial and governmental customers. Founded in 1880, the company employs more than 15,600 people in over 90 locations worldwide. The company has experienced rapid growth in the past decade, due in large part to a series of strategic acquisitions that have helped the company to better fulfill its mission.

Although Ball Corporation has changed dramatically over its 125 years, from a small, family-owned business into a public company with people and interests around the world, the company's core purpose has remained the same: to provide quality products and services — and a quality experience — to its customers. Ball Corporation guides its entire business on the key principles of extreme focus on customer satisfaction, continued ability to innovate in products and processes, and attention to detail that instills that everyone operates like an owner in their business.
