Coca-Cola Enterprises
The scientists and the suits at The Coca-Cola Company (TCCC) concoct the secret recipes and market the brands, but Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) does much of the bottling and distribution of the soft drinks. The world's #1 Coke bottler, CCE accounts for 19% of worldwide sales of Coca-Cola's beverages. CCE also bottles and distributes other beverages, including Canada Dry, Dr Pepper, Nestea, bottled waters, and juices. It sells soft drinks in 46 US states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, Canada, and six European nations, including France and the UK. The company's territories consist of more than 412 million potential customers. The Coca-Cola Company owns approximately 35% of CCE. In 2006 CCE distributed 2 billion physical, thatÂ’s the equivalent to 42 billion bottles and cans, and made nearly $19 billion in annual revenues.
