Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by. Welcome to Aptar's 2022 Second Quarter Conference Call. At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question-and-answer session.

Introducing today's conference call is Mr. Matt DellaMaria, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations and Communications. Please go ahead sir.

Matt DellaMaria

Thank you Matt, and good morning everyone. We appreciate you joining us on our call today. Some of you may be aware that Matt will be retiring at the end of this year after 32 years of dedicated service to Aptar. We are thankful for Matt's leadership and will have time to wish him well over the coming months as he transitions his role to the experience and very capable hands of Mary Skafidas who joined us just a little over a month ago. Mary joins us from the Loews Corporation, where she most recently served as the Head of Investor Relations, Corporate Communications and ESG for many years and has prior leadership experience with McGraw Hill and Toyota Motor.

Now let's turn to slide 3. As you can see Aptar delivered a strong second quarter. Each of our segments contributed positively to our top line growth for the quarter, as well as for the first half of the year. Growth in our second quarter was achieved by increased volumes and pricing initiatives. Our team achieved this solid performance during an exceptionally dynamic and uncertain period.
