Ball Corporation said it will suspend can production at its Cuiaba beverage packaging plant, in the city of same name in the state of Mato Gross.

It said clients currently supported by the Cuiaba plant will be supplied by “other Ball facilities in Brazil.”

“Absorbing this one line can plant into Ball's remaining network of 13 plants in South America allows us to reduce our cost structure while continuing to effectively and efficiently supply our customers with the most sustainable package in the beverage supply chain," said Carlos Pires, president, Ball Beverage Packaging South America.

The Cuiaba facility employed about 70 people, some of whom will be transferred to other locations.

The shutdown plant was opened in 1998.
