Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) has invested $50 million in a new bottling line in Namibia, increasing output by 30% with a capacity of producing 27,000 bottles per hour.


The investment also includes a water treatment plant with advanced water recovery technology to reduce consumption. New technology, including AI, will be integrated, with employee skills training to support a "future-ready workforce".



Pottie de Bruyn, general manager of CCBA in Namibia, said: “We’ve ensured that this production line goes beyond output numbers. It’s about creating shared opportunities across the value chain. The increased production also provides a boost to local businesses that supply us with raw materials and services.”


Sunil Gupta, chief executive officer of CCBA, highlighted: “This investment is a clear demonstration of our continued belief in the future of Namibia".


He added: “As a customer-centric, digitally enabled, growth-driven business, we are committed to excellence across our value chain. Efficient operations allow us to offer faster delivery and superior service. This new production line is another step in our journey to achieve even greater levels of execution excellence.”
