Our HistoryBall Packaging Europe came into being at the end of 2002 following the takeover of Schmalbach-Lubeca GmbH by the US American packaging company, Ball Corporation, which as a result became the world's largest beverage can producer in the world. Since April 1, 2003 the company has been doing business under the name Ball Packaging Europe as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ball Corporation. The former company "Schmalbach-Lubeca" was a long established company with more than 100 years' experience in packaging production. The Schmalbach-Lubeca was set up in 1898 in Brunswick, Germany, by Johann Andreas Schmalbauch. Innovative metal packaging was already being marketed then: a new type of can to preserve asparagus. In 1951 Schmalbach launched the first can for beer on the German market. The timeline gives an overview of the corporate history of Ball Packaging Europe: Timeline
