Доказательства
“we are volume constrained in North America, as you know. And we have been volume constrained in Europe because it grew so fast last year, as did North America.”
EMEA segment has the most runway to improve profit per can, as it is currently the lowest among all regions.
Доказательства
“I think the main thing to do is when you take a look at the profit per can, EMEA is our lowest. okay so per the per the regions and they actually have been focused uh for several years and making the biggest strides on it”
