Coca-Cola Amatil is one of only six Coca-Cola bottlers worldwide, and is the largest company that manufactures non-alcoholic beverages in the Pacific region, with nine manufacturing facilities and 18 storage facilities across Australia. Coca-Cola Amatil is focused on the Asia-Pacific region, while The European Partners Group was formed in 2016 following a merger between the Coca-Cola Companys three Western European bottlers. Coca-Cola Amatil built its Eastern Creek plant as part of Project Zero, a long-term investment program that the company has undertaken on infrastructure projects throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners supply chain manager in Australia, Linda Leo, who has been at the company for 18 years, said the Coca-Cola Kewdale production plant has grown substantially over the years and is an essential part of the national operations of Coke.
About 50 trucks came and went daily from Coca-Cola Kewdale production, dispensing the majority of products available for sale here in WA, including the popular Coke No Sugar, along with Mt. Franklin, Kirks, Fanta, Cascade, Pump, Mother, Deep Spring, Neverfail and Sprite.
From 2006-2011, CCA had a joint venture with SABMiller for distribution of their beverages throughout Australia. CCAs diverse portfolio included sparkling water, spring water, sports drinks and energy drinks, fruit juices, iced teas, flavoured milks, coffee, tea, and alcoholic beverages. Coca-Cola Amatil Limited , through its subsidiaries, is engaged in manufacturing, distribution and marketing carbonated soft drinks, still and mineral waters, fruit juices, coffee, and other non-alcoholic beverages.
The non-alcoholic beverages business operates a franchise to produce and distribute products under the Coke brand, with franchises in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. CCA operates in six countries: Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Samoa. Australia New Zealand Indonesia Papua New Guinea Fiji Samoa. The companys Australian roots go back to 1904, when it was called British Tobacco .
In 1938, the first Australian bottling facility began operations, with a number of factories operating across Australia the following year. Sales were slow at first, because Coke was unknown to most Australians, but Coke became more popular in Australia after the Second World War, due to the usage by visiting American servicemen.
Australia| One day Coca-Cola Amatil was in the news for speculation that it would purchase the sold-off Asahi brand, the next it was itself targeted in an acquisition bid. The confirmation comes weeks after the revelation that the popular Starburst lolly was being discontinued. Mars Wrigley said that, having reviewed all options, they had made a tough decision to stop selling the brand in Australia as of June.
The withdrawal has caused anger on social media, with one user tweeting, But Lift, the much-loved soda, is far superior to Sprite. While the beverage will be removed from Australian grocery stores, it will continue to be available post-mix at fast food outlets, and it will continue to be sold by the bottle in New Zealand. The popular Lift soda will be removed from supermarket shelves, replaced by an alternative that provides caffeine.
Popular soft drink Lift -- a classic staple of many Australian households -- is being wiped from supermarket shelves over the next few weeks. The break-up by TikToker confirmed it would be discontinued two months ago, much to the horror of its Australian followers.
It made a tan-coloured fizzy beverage in factories around Australia, and bottled it to sell at outlets ranging from supermarkets through to movie theaters. Over the years, as it has struggled to diversify away from its sugar-laden roots, CCA has also bought shares in other local companies, like Made Group, which makes coconut water and yogurt. Given CCA controls a number of Australian-only brands like Made Groups portfolio, it will be interesting to see what CCEP can do with these assets post-acquisition.
Meanwhile, Coke Europe Partners is set to be renamed Coke Europacific Partners Acquisition, in a move designed to reflect the significantly increased footprint of the new entity, which is consolidating territories throughout Europe with CCs oceanic and Indonesian markets.
The remainder of the branding evolution is set to follow, rolling out worldwide through 2021 and 2022. Led by Coke Without Sugar, a new-look package design will appear on all Coke trademark packs across Coke Australia, including Coke Classic and Coke Diet Coke, through 2021. We are continuously changing our portfolio across Australia, from cutting the sugar content of our beverages, to bringing new and innovative products to the market.
Robert Priest, vice president of Coke in the South Pacific, said Topo Chico Mineral Water would attract drinkers looking for something new and refreshing to enjoy during fun times over the summer, be it virtually or in-person. Shane Waicott, of Coca-Cola Australias Memorabilia Collectors Club, hopes that they will continue to enjoy good local relationships with the European company in order to host events approved by the locals.
