Dedicated to its motto, Ut Prosim (That I May Serve), Virginia Tech takes a hands-on, engaging approach to education, preparing scholars to be leaders in their fields and communities. As the commonwealth’s most comprehensive university and its leading research institution, Virginia Tech offers 215 undergraduate and graduate degree programs to nearly 31,000 students and manages a research portfolio of nearly $400 million. The university fulfills its land-grant mission of transforming knowledge to practice through technological leadership and by fueling economic growth and job creation locally, regionally, and across Virginia.

Founded in 1872, Virginia Tech has the largest number of degree offerings in Virginia, more than 125 campus buildings, a 2,600-acre main campus, off-campus educational facilities in six regions, a study-abroad site in Switzerland, and a 1,700-acre agriculture research farm near the main campus. The campus proper is located in the Town of Blacksburg in Montgomery County in the New River Valley and is 38 miles southwest of Roanoke.

Enrollment

28,650 on-campus; 82.5 percent undergraduate; 17.5 percent graduate; 58 percent male; 42 percent female. Total enrollment on and off campus is 30,936.

Admissions

Virginia Tech received 21,005 applications for the fall 2011 freshman class. The typical student who was offered admission had a high-school grade point average of 4.0, with the middle 50 percent between 3.81 and 4.24.

Researchers pursue new discoveries in agriculture, biotechnology, information and communication technology, transportation, energy management (including leadership in fuel-cell technology and power electronics), and a wide range of other engineering, scientific, social science, and creative fields. This research led to 40 patents and 24 license and option agreements.

Walsworth Publishing Company is headquartered in Marceline, Mo., a town commonly known as the boyhood home of Walt Disney. In 1937, three brothers, Don, Ed and Bill Walsworth, settled in Marceline to print playbills with a borrowed typewriter and a mimeograph machine. Soon the product line was expanded to include cookbooks and, following World War II, memorial books to honor those who had served their country. In 1947, Walsworth began to produce yearbooks, which have been the company’s mainstay ever since. In 1970, the Commercial division was established to balance the cyclical yearbook production schedule, adding text books, catalogs, magazines and other specialty publications to the Walsworth line.

Today, Walsworth is still a family-owned company that employs more than 1,250 people worldwide, and more than 250 of them have 20 or more years of service to the company. Walsworth boasts more than 675 employees who have attained the Master Printer of America status. Several members of various families work for Walsworth, and at times, those families have included three generations simultaneously.

Five brothers founded Ball in 1880, with a loan of $200 from their Uncle George. At first they made wood-jacketed tin cans for products like paint and kerosene, but soon they expanded their offerings to glass- and tin-jacketed containers. In 1884 the brothers began making glass home-canning jars, the product that established Ball as a household name. The brothers—Edmund, Frank, George, Lucius and William—moved the company from Buffalo, New York, to Muncie, Indiana, in 1887, to take advantage of abundant natural gas reserves essential to making glass.

Ball grew rapidly in the ensuing decade, and has been in more than 45 businesses since its founding. Ball no longer manufactures the ubiquitous canning jars, but we’ve expanded and grown into a worldwide metal packaging company that makes billions of recyclable metal containers and a unique aerospace business that designs one-of-a-kind solutions to answer scientific and technical challenges. We manufacture on four continents and we’re based in Broomfield, Colorado.

2010

Ball acquires Neuman Aluminum, the leading North American manufacturer of aluminum slugs used to make extruded aerosol cans, beverage bottles, aluminum collapsible tubes, and technical impact extrusions; and Aerocan S.A.S., a leading supplier of aluminum aerosol cans and bottles in Europe. Ball becomes the largest supplier of aluminum slugs in the world.

2009

Ball acquires four metal beverage can plants from AB InBev, making Ball the largest supplier of beverage cans in the world.

2006

Ball acquires U.S. Can, a U.S.-based aerosol and specialty metal packaging company, and merges it with Ball’s metal food-packaging operations to form the metal food and household products packaging division.

2002

Ball acquires Schmalbach-Lubeca AG, the German-based metal-can beverage company, and creates Ball Packaging Europe, boosting Ball’s beverage can sales by more than $1 billion.

1998

Ball acquires the metal-container beverage assets of Reynolds Metals Company, making Ball the largest supplier of metal beverage cans in North America, and one of the largest in the world.

1998

Ball Corporate headquarters relocated from Muncie, Ind., to Broomfield, Colo.

 1997

Ball acquires M.C. Packaging Ltd. in China. MCP, combined with Ball’s FTB Packaging Ltd. joint venture in China, makes Ball the largest supplier of cans in that nation.

1996

Ball-Foster Glass Container Co. creates a joint-venture glass company with Group Saint Gobain, in September 1995. Ball sells its remaining interest in Ball-Foster to Group Saint Gobain in 1996 and exits the glass business.

1995

Ball’s aerospace business converts to a wholly owned subsidiary, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. of Broomfield, Colorado.

1993

Ball acquires Heekin Can, Inc. Heekin is the largest regional manufacturer of metal food containers in the U.S. prior to the acquisition. Combined with Ball Packaging Products Canada, Inc.’s six plants, the eleven former Heekin plants make Ball the third-largest producer of metal food-and-aerosol cans in the North American market.

1973

Ball listed on New York Stock Exchange under ticker symbol “BLL”

1969

Company name changed to Ball Corporation.

1969

Ball acquires the Jeffco Manufacturing Company in Denver and forms metal beverage container operations.

1956

Ball forms the Ball Brothers Research Corporation. Known today as Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., the corporation produces space systems engineering products, telecommunications technology, and electro-optics and cryogenics materials for government and commercial customers.

1922

Company name changes to Ball Brothers Company

1886

Ball Brothers Glass Manufacturing Company was incorporated.

1880

Frank and Edmund Ball start the Wooden Jacketed Can Company in Buffalo, New York

Myron L Meters is proud to do business with Ball Corporation.
