At the heart of our production, manufacturing and distribution of products, is our supply chain function. Within our manufacturing function we have 6 locations; Sidcup, Edmonton, Milton Keynes, Wakefield, Morpeth and East Kilbride. At these locations our machines can produce over 100,000 bottles an hour.
Coca-Cola and many of our other soft drinks start life as a base syrup. Very few people know the secret recipe of a Coke and to protect it, the syrup arrives at our GB factories in two parts, which need to be mixed in the right proportions. Once mixed, we dilute the syrup with water and add sugar or sweetener to it. If it’s sparkling, we add carbon dioxide to give the fizz, and then fill and package bottles or cans on automated production lines ready to be delivered to our customers.
Before we can deliver this product to our customer, the bottles or cans go through our quality assurance team. And as a member of our quality assurance team, you would be there every critical step of the way. This ensures that our product is safe for everyone to enjoy!
