Xin chao! Welcome to Vietnam.
Vietnam, with its soaring mountains, superb coastline and radiant rice fields, is the eastern-most country on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is bordered by China, Laos and Cambodia. With a population of over 86-million, life is lived in the fast lane. Vietnam is the 13th most populous country in the world.
Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam Limited (CCBVL) started its operation in 1994 as three different entities, namely Coca- Cola Beverages Hanoi Ltd, Coca-Cola Non Nuoc Soft Drinks Company Ltd and Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam Ltd.
In 2001, the Vietnamese government gave approval for the merger of the three business under the central management of Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam, with the country office based at Thu Duc District, Ho Chi Minh City.
In 2004, Coca-Cola Sabco acquired all three operations in Vietnam and immediately began contributing positively to the growth of the business. Today, Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam Limited is comprised of three plants – Hanoi in the north, Danang in central Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh City in the south – and operates nine production lines, including five Returnable Glass Bottles (RGB) lines, two canning lines and two PET lines.
In 2009, the three plants were producing 18,1-million physical cases of Coke, Coke Light, Fanta Orange/ Strawberry/Sarsi, Sprite, Schweppes Soda, Schweppes Tonic, Samurai (energy drink) and Joy (bottled water).
The company has more than 1 200 full-time employees.
The Vietnamese enjoy beverages from the Schweppes group, Coca-Cola, Coke Light, Fanta, Sprite, Crush, Joy, Samurai and Splash.
