Question · Q4 2025
Brian Burgmeier inquired about the penetration rate of beverage cans in Europe for beer and soft drinks compared to North America, to understand the potential for future share gains. He also asked if any incremental headwinds from aluminum conversion costs or PPI pass-throughs are expected in Europe for 2026, and how they compare year-over-year.
Answer
CEO Oliver Graham stated that Europe is much less penetrated than North America (40-50% in NA), with significant room for growth, citing historical issues in Germany and strong innovation, anti-plastic sentiment, and sustainability credentials driving demand. He confirmed that the aluminum conversion cost headwind was predominantly a 2025 issue and no material headwind is expected in 2026.
