Coca-Cola European Partners plc (CCEP) is a multinational bottling company dedicated to the marketing, production, and distribution of Coca-Cola products.[1]
Overview
Coca-Cola European Partners was created on May 28, 2016[2] as a result of the combination of the three main bottling companies for The Coca-Cola Company in Western Europe i.e. Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola Iberian Partners, S.A. and Coca-Cola Erfrischungsgetränke AG.[3] The combination created the world’s largest independent Coca-Cola bottler based on net revenues[4] and is estimated to result in a savings of between $350 million and $375 million within three years of closing.[4]
The merger was similar to that of Coca-Cola Beverages Africa that consolidated Coca-Cola bottling operations in East and Southern Africa.
