The Findlay plant was the third of Ball Corporation's metal beverage container plants. The original plant consisted of two can lines and was built in 1973. End manufacturing capability was added to the plant in 1975. A major expansion was completed in 1980, greatly increasing end-making capacity and warehouse space. Another major expansion was completed in 1982 and a can line added in 1987.In 1996, one of the beverage lines was converted to the production of two-piece steel food cans.
