On January 30, 2018 Cott’s bottling business and Refresco joined forces to create the world’s largest independent bottler for retailers and A-brands with leadership positions across Europe and North America.
This combination creates a compelling industry proposition for retail and branded customers who will benefit from greater scale, a seamless service across geographies and access to a broader portfolio of soft drinks and fruit juices in key markets.
In the period ahead we will integrate the digital estates of the two businesses. Should you already have questions about the new company, please do not hesitate to contact your Account Manager/contact person directly.
