While being overshadowed by its par-em company's much larger metal and plastic packaging business, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. has quietly improved its performance across the board over the last four years. The company has nearly doubled its sales and earnings before interest and taxes since 2000 by focusing its satellite and component manufacturing expertise on U.S. government business, said Dave Taylor, president and chief executive officer of Ball Aerospace. Ball Aerospace, based in Boulder, Colo., reported revenue of $653 million in 2004, up more than 80 percent over revenue of $363 million in 2000. Over the same period, earnings before interest and taxes improved 79 percent from $27 million in 2000 to $48.3 million in 2004.
