The Ardagh factory in Merthyr Tydfil will shut down and move production to Nottinghamshire and Norwich resulting in the loss of 146 jobs.
The closure came after a period of consultation with the unions and the Welsh government.
The company stated that it would do everything it could to offer workers jobs at its other UK factories.
