25 Years in Sync with China's Beverage Evolution
Founded in 2000 during China's transition from a planned to a market economy, COFCO Coca-Cola overcame early market challenges by leveraging Coca-Cola's global expertise and COFCO Group's local operational strength. Within a decade, it secured its position among Coca-Cola's Global Top 10 Bottling Partners - a status it maintains today.

"Coke GO" Intelligent Ordering System: Reached 2.1 million retail terminals.
"Yue Xiang Hui" Membership Program: Surpassed 56 million members.
Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) Sales: Jumped to 57% of total revenue.This end-to-end digitalization fueled a RMB 1.866 billion ($263 million USD) profit increase in 2024 and charts a future path of "Smart Manufacturing + Intelligent Distribution" for the sector.
Simultaneously, the company advances green transformation aligned with China's "Dual Carbon" goals. Its upcoming Shaanxi factory will set a new industry benchmark as a green, smart, and advanced facility.
Looking Ahead: Continuing the Legacy
Reflecting on 25 years of weathering storms and achieving growth, Mr. Li Guoqiang, Chairman of COFCO Group, commended COFCO Coca-Cola's role: "As a pioneering post-reform JV, you've been both practitioners of the market economy and catalysts for industrial upgrading."
