The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California.

Ball Corporation is a Westminster, Colorado-based aluminum packaging manufacturer — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: BALL) as an S&P 500 component — operating as the world's leading provider of aluminum beverage cans, aerosol cans, and personal care packaging with 16,000+ employees across 65+ manufacturing plants worldwide. In fiscal year 2024, Ball reported net sales of $11.80 billion and a market capitalization of approximately $12.85 billion. In 2025, Ball appointed Ronald J. Lewis as the 13th CEO in the company's 145-year history (effective immediately), succeeding the previous leadership; Lewis previously served as Ball's Chief Supply Chain and Operations Officer since 2024 and joined Ball in 2019 as President of the Europe, Middle East and Asia beverage business. Ball completed a transformative strategic milestone in 2024 by divesting Ball Aerospace to BAE Systems for $5.6 billion in cash, enabling Ball to focus exclusively on its core aluminum packaging business. Ball also announced a $4 billion share buyback program in 2025 and returned $1.96 billion to shareholders in 2024. Founded in 1880 as a glass jar manufacturer, Ball innovated the ReAl alloy aerosol can — 15% lighter than standard cans with only half the carbon footprint.
