Producing 650 million liters a year: touring the Coca-Cola Guararapes factory

Founded on December 31, 1983, Coca-Cola Guararapes established its excellence in the segment of consumer goods, production and distribution of beverage portfolio of Coca-Cola FEMSA. Since 2001, the company reports directly to The Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta / USA.

[Portugues] A empresa mantém um parque fabril com oito unidades industriais, sendo composta por quatro fábricas (Jaboatão dos Guararapes, Suape, Petrolina  e João Pessoa) e quatro centros de distribuição (Arruda, Caruaru, Garanhuns e Campina Grande). Juntas, as unidades têm uma capacidade de produção instalada de 650 milhões de litros de bebidas por ano. A frota da empresa conta com mais de 650 veículos (caminhões, carretas, motos, carros) e a força de vendas é composta por, aproximadamente, 500 pessoas, que atendem a 61 mil pontos-de-venda.

Here, a few snapshots from a guided tour through the factory, as well as images from a very nice neighborhood – stopping by the beach on the way back to town… why not?
