Coca-Cola Beverages Africa’s new beverages production line drives growth

Coca-Cola Beverages Africa’s fastest plastic bottle production line in its East Africa operations, with a capacity of 67,000 bottles per hour and equipped with state-of-the-art technology such as robotic arms and automated fillers, is driving efficiency and growth in the Ugandan beverages industry.

In 2022, Coca-Cola Beverages Uganda (CCBU), a subsidiary of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa, commissioned the construction of a new line at its head office in Namanve. The line was designed to increase efficiency and productivity.

CCBU’s new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) production line started operating last year. The company invested $27 million to ensure CCBU’s range of soft drinks are widely and consistently available to consumers.
