Coca-Cola has announced that it is investing in two new production lines in Indonesia with the aim of accelerating growth over the next 3-4 years.
“We consider Indonesia a dynamic and promising market and one of the growth engines to achieve our long-term vision,” said Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO, The Coca-Cola Company. “Our Company’s US $500 million investment reaffirms our belief in Indonesia and will help us capture the growth opportunity in one of the largest and most dynamic countries in the world”
The Coca-Cola Company last October announced plans to create a joint venture with Coca-Cola Amatil’s local Indonesia subsidiary to invest US $500 million in return for an ordinary equity ownership interest of 29.4%, with the funds invested into CCAI operations in Indonesia to support accelerated expansion of production, warehousing and cold-drink infrastructure.
CCA’s Group Chairman David Gonski said: “These two new production lines commissioned today are an excellent example of how the US $500 million cash injection is being invested. Coca-Cola Amatil is committed to building a future hand-in-hand with our partners, customers and consumers in Indonesia. The upcoming joint venture is an important step for us in accelerating our efforts to create a strong future for our communities and businesses in the areas in which we operate.”
