Ball sees opportunity in Alcoa bid for Alcan

If aluminum company Alcoa Inc.'s bid to buy rival Alcan Inc. is successful, Ball Corp. chief financial officer Raymond Sea brook said, Ball would be interested in some assets.

"There are some things that would potentially logically fit with us," such as Alcoa's packaging-closure business, he said during a Bank of America BASics/Industrials Conference in New York City on Wednesday.

Seabrook also emphasized that he expects Ball's aerospace business to continue to grow.

"A lot of the new infrastructure that the new world needs is in space, whether it's communications, whether it's defense-related ... there's going to be a lot of aerospace spending for the foreseeable future," he said.
