Supply Chain Opportunities

What is Supply Chain?

Our supply chain function is the heart of the production, manufacturing and distribution of our products, from the purchase of ingredients and packaging to manufacturing and distribution to our customers. Our machines can produce over 100,000 bottles an hour. We also have teams who look after the Quality of our product and ensure its safe for everyone to enjoy! Coca-Cola and many of our other soft drinks start life as a base syrup. Very few people know the secret recipe of a Coke and to protect it, the syrup arrives at our GB factories in two parts, which need to be mixed in the right proportions. Once mixed, we dilute the syrup with water and add sugar or sweetener to it. If it’s sparkling, we add carbon dioxide to give the fizz, and then fill and package bottles or cans on automated production lines ready to be delivered to our customers. We are focused on ensuring we have the manufacturing and distribution capacity to meet our customer requirements, and also driving operations performance through improving efficiency and effectiveness, and sharing and executing best practice.
