Ball's North American volumes grew 4.3% despite capacity constraints, with growth driven by substrate shift from other packaging materials.
Доказательства
“the can continues to win... In North America, I think the overwhelming majority of the growth that we're seeing is still substrate shift.”
Management stated there is 'notably tight' capacity in North America, with Millersburg startup costs ($35M) impacting near-term operating leverage but expected to fully contribute in 2027.
Доказательства
“we are trying to bring this new plant up in Millersburg, and until we do that, we will be notably tight until we can get that capacity up and running.”
South America volumes grew 64% year-over-year in Q2, well above the market, driven by customer success during the World Cup and a strong network.
Доказательства
“they enjoyed success from World Cup and we benefited from their success.”
Management noted potential operational friction from 'elevated aluminum price' impacting consumer demand.
Доказательства
“we and the industry are concerned and keep an eye on aluminum price because that cost of aluminum while it is a pass-through model does ultimately affect in consumer demand”
