Coca-Cola Sabco (Pty) Ltd (“CCS”), an existing IFC client since 2002, is one of The Coca-Cola Company’s (“TCCC”) key bottling partners in developing markets in Africa and Asia, having been awarded Anchor Bottler status in 1995. CCS has invited IFC to support its corporate investment program in several frontier countries in Africa and Asia namely Cambodia, Ethiopia, Laos, Mozambique, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. After developing a strong base in South Africa, CCS leveraged on its experience to take over and successfully turn around several Coca-Cola bottling companies in Eastern Africa—Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda. Based on this success, CCS was recently granted the opportunity by The Coca-Cola Company (“TCCC”) to acquire underperforming assets in Asia.
