Consistently high demand for returnable 1-litre PET bottles
Due to the constantly high demand for Coca-Cola beverages in the 1-litre returnable PET bottle, the returnable PET line is to be put back into operation. The existing production capacities for beverages in returnable PET bottles at nine of Coca-Cola's 14 regional production sites in Germany are running at full capacity. With the additional line, seasonal peaks in demand as well as maintenance and repair work on the other 12 returnable PET lines in the German production network can be better cushioned in the future.
Delivery of the new plant parts in summer 2024
The mineral water of the Apollinaris brand was bottled on the line in Bad Neuenahr until the beginning of 2021. From autumn of next year it will be carbonated soft drinks. In order to be able to produce the soft drinks, new components and plant parts such as a level meter, bottle inspectors and packers and unpackers must be installed and the connection to the supply areas such as the syrup room must be established. The new parts of the line complete the already existing hearts at the location - filler and washing machine. They are expected to be delivered in the summer of 2024.
