knows Europe over a two was in I nobody course, Of seltzer is. what and weeks the heck ago

I expect players would on of that their chain focus built after North for longer-term opportunity what in key interesting marketplace. So their but attention their manifests, that the get will America be some seltzers, the will of to installed how they it and all transition out is see supply take they to think advantage base real

Ghansham Panjabi

And levels specific QX XXXX if North successful that quarter, really initiative? Okay.

Dan Fisher

Sure.

we wanted to largely think I accomplished what of build. we inventory in terms

Of and things, on will that they built the draw. be what the end whether dependent we not course, or consumer right

we in we of our projects, disruption off number capacity North delivery to QX pretty a levels of are more significant, to I give requisite tight are kind market. got need the that QX. maintain from to and previous going of America, a the think we next show Those in need and up in come kind the saw order us couple for what of years a them eliminate year, to of really customers some and we've

George Staphos

Europe. wanted the details and to on on Everyone. on maybe progress. piggyback Good morning. XXXX's congratulations Thanks Ghansham's for question Hey, I

you'd supply standpoint over balance to and of as to Europe continue why grow, a see should some improving South into you ancillary from there you North looks a are reasons commercial get what and standpoint? be given supply evolving demand from see benefits and America America innovation standpoint and the ultimately, the So an wouldn't demand market -- time what in

John Hayes

Yes.

some business we faced are about have yes. that. short tight a from just, of with what choose we else, we're would it. anyone Let Dan to comment are a investment. that up short to chose away are growth think that walk from whether -- can't longer-term walk capacity operating we -- provide to at color or term. but on And it away we again, is we market, we, given me under in answer already we operating said a very fill we that and in can basis is are decision We because tight the The the belief the contract I take least, in more

volume last so, on focusing they same deliver at us a have, basis, need, wherever, quarter about right what heard to is much economic able all. you our things customers talk on the fourth specialty terms for three wouldn't be the we're footprint global whenever. I to and And So to leveraging anything the into trying read have do the years the which or on we

That's although of and And in believe, in we America And believe in little that our deploying with now in North a believe we show good our now place pretty been gotten goal. we place into execute we're it, Europe up, now America. we strategy a marketplace. the feel and but we've we're in about good bit successful time, need North we we footprint to believe, that that European we've a

George Staphos

wanted growth put capacity to I of some to the press the out and figures try release. to, in parse comments extent that or possible, the formal you the either today in

hear heard So around in. I earlier then terms in on in about, you me, hand, going think that what months have would and capacity units is that cans, in lines where -- say, majority of six the aluminum gap be I six on excuse that's much true, cans expectation going I units And something I three if ago? tracking the how that to think, in that and through billion plants, the XXXX. of would cups? been, terms Did delta billion And that And talked and that one that your connect call relative eight of correctly? suggest would of

Dan Fisher

was America billion North The six good A specific. question.

going billion delta and Europe. and cups. America Less the eight in capacity so six South more between incremental is not is -- some the And into of billion

eight say I'd to billion, can of is capacity. of close billion eight the all So the all almost

John Hayes

forward, what further, told we've well, that's we as world announced as And the closely. George, monitoring we've go and very we're Yes. this

So themselves. we could continue billion to opportunities as that could eight present become -- larger

Dan Fisher

Yes.

George Staphos

$XXX yet, that would million that within could be capex, Relatedly, to your that you projects that haven't possibly come Would assume I fruition. announced of fair?

Scott Morrison

Most million that so far. everything is announced -- really, $XXX we've publicly that

George Staphos

went the so way over swing there $XXX eight cash it to free year-on-year. a large quickly. I very fairly your plastic there I'll then turn where working nice free even. for What swing? on flow, a the least related real was at I'll -- and behind you is One, over capital back negative on there standards other was strong, cash so in was performance couple, last leave My What was well Okay. a you it was to that? think And was to growth, There What parse in think flow? billion, here, that million what conversion? and is it by

Scott Morrison

capital, of everything. GBS So operations collecting job that working our our really, tremendous and just the are operations on a --

ever end our we've year. the probably lowest had in at past dues history the We of the have

on front. great So that receivables on work just as work really the aerospace well. Great

we businesses, of the the the well That's pension that number, expense. other really George. negative we across And the how big it's the in excess would majority that did vast be of the in So perform. funding incremental

Dan Fisher

question but incremental at at we've I'm as in is, out doubling on X% that. to how investment relates the we're your think historically, it looking not rocket to it the capacity we're scientist, And installation X% sustainability, grown and parsing we a

So is probably related to what sustainability. XX%, maybe we even believe a smidge directly more probably is

John Hayes

question. a Yes. George, great it's

you we As track a in it's And America. we Three as products point give ago, were and cans. can know, the is coming new in Today, this XX%. you all of can. That's meaningful data best best X/X jump. we North out years try

their they think they I X, do so the -- anti-plastic want as this number headwind then is go think and of called difficulty to number new they placement, a And about regime. think the product getting launching brand, about difficulty The brands, into starting one. beverages,

the although so give facts we best you, else And I is that's speculative. anecdotal think, anything do can

Operator

go ahead. JP Langton with Next please is Tyler question Morgan, from
