Beverages multinational Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) has invested $50-million in a new bottling line in Namibia, which will produce 27 000 bottles an hour.

The upgrade will increase the plant’s output capacity by 30% and stimulate growth throughout the company’s value chain, the company says.

The investment also includes the installation of a water treatment plant with state-of-the-art water-recovery technology, which is designed to reduce water consumption.

Additionally, the integration of advanced technology, including AI, will require skills training for employees, contributing to the development of a future-ready workforce for the business and the country, says CCBA Namibia GM Pottie de Bruyn.

“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,” he notes.

“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 greater levels of execution excellence,” says CCBA CEO Sunil Gupta.

“This investment is a clear demonstration of our continued belief in the future of Namibia,” he says.
