THE COMPANY’S GLOBAL HERITAGE AND GROWTH

The Coca-Cola system represents one of the largest and most popular brands in the world, with more than 130 years of heritage and history. It all started in Atlanta in 1886, when John Pemberton, a pharmacist, made a caramel-coloured refreshing drink and mixed it with soda. After tasting, the product was rated as excellent and its sales were lunched at the price of 5 cents per glass. Frank Robinson, Pemberton’s accountant, named the drink Coca-Cola and designed the logo we all know today.

However, Coca-Cola became a nation-wide success thanks to Asa Candler, who designed coupons for free-of-charge consumption. Soon after, two lawyers, Benjamin F. Thomas and Joseph B. Whitehead, obtained exclusive bottling rights and by 1920 a network of plants producing Coke was established across the USA. Just before that, the glass bottle, also known as the Contour bottle, was invented, as the most popular type of packaging ever.

The core of this amazing story lies in the incredible innovation, which has been an inspiration for creating brands and beverages enjoyed by billions of people in more than 200 countries worldwide up to the present day. Thanks to our determination to offer top-quality drinks and create great and exciting marketing stories, Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero (Diet Coke), Sprite and Fanta are four out of five most popular non-alcoholic carbonated drinks in the world. In addition to these, we refresh people across the globe with waters, fruit drinks, juices and innovative products which, just like Coca-Cola did more than a century ago, set new benchmarks and create new habits and preferences.
