Coca-Cola started operations in Kenya in 1948, on a Nairobi plot measuring just a quarter of an acre. The new beverage proved so popular that another production line was commissioned almost immediately in the coastal town of Mombasa. CCS acquired NBL in 1995.

Coca-Cola Sabco’s Kenyan plant in Embakasi, Nairobi, employs approximately 923 people. It is one of the biggest bottling plants in the group. This state-of- the-art facility was officilly opened in 2005.

The establishment of the Embakasi plant was made possible by the tremendous success of its predecessors, Nairobi Bottlers Ltd (NBL) and Flamingo Bottlers Ltd in Nakuru, which together contributed almost 50% of the country’s total volume..
