Coca-Cola inaugurates 100 mln USD bottling plant in Ethiopia

ADDIS ABABA, May 31 (Xinhua) -- The Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) on Tuesday inaugurated its new 100 million U.S. dollars Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ethiopia.

Completion of the new bottling plant is said to bring CCBA's production capacity in Ethiopia to more than 100 million cases a year and will enable the company to integrate the production of inputs such as preforms, closures and other materials, as well as the local production of new products while reducing imports, the company said.
