Our company

Coca-Cola HBC Italia (previously called Coca-Cola Bevande Italia from 1995 until 2005) started operations in Italy in 1995.
In 2006, in order to expand its product portfolio, Coca-Cola HBC Italia, together with Coca-Cola Italia, entered the mineral water sector by purchasing Fonti del Vulture.
In 2007, to consolidate its presence in the vending sector, Coca-Cola HBC Italia acquired Eurmatik, a firm operating in all segments of vending business, including hot and cold drinks, mineral water and snacks.

Based in Milan, we operate 8 bottling plants across the country. In addition, we channel products through 5 warehouses and one Technical Service & equipment centre.

We employ 3.300 people of which 1,400 in the sales force.
In the last three years, Coca-Cola HBC Italia has been ranked among the three best places to work in Italy and, according to research carried out by the Great Place to Work Institute, also among the first 100 in Europe in 2009 for the management and professional development of its human resources.

We aim to be our customers’ most preferred supplier, and conduct programmes to support approximately 118.000 customers who sell our products to consumers.

Our company is part of the Coca-Cola Hellenic Group, one of the largest bottlers of The Coca-Cola Company’s products in the world, and the biggest in Europe. Coca-Cola Hellenic operations span 28 countries, serving more than 560 million people. The company is headquartered in Athens and listed on the Athens, New York and London stock exchanges. 

We produce, sell and distribute a wide range of beverages, most of which are trademark products of The Coca-Cola Company.

Our product portfolio consists of:

• leading brands Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola light, Fanta and Sprite
• local brands such as Amita juices and Lilia and Sveva waters
• brands licensed by other companies, such as Nestea and Illy issimo.

We continuously review opportunities to expand our product portfolio in order to offer consumers in Italy an increasing range of choices. Every measure is taken to ensure that our products are of the highest quality.

Sustainability

To ensure our long-term success, we must minimise our environmental footprint and contribute to the local quality of life. We have a longstanding commitment to doing so.

Given the growing number of sustainability challenges, we focus on issues that are priorities for our business and for our stakeholders. These are:

• Water stewardship 
• Energy & climate protection 
• Packaging & recycling 
• Consumer health 
• People development 
• Supplier engagement 
• Benefiting communities
• UN Global Compact 

For each of these issues, we set goals and targets, measuring and monitoring our progress as rigorously as other parts of our business. We follow leading external standards and methodologies and report our progress transparently in our CSR report.
