Coca-Cola Andina is a Coca-Cola bottler operating in Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay under exclusive franchise agreements with The Coca-Cola Company. The company produces, markets, and distributes Coca-Cola-branded beverages — primarily carbonated soft drinks (roughly 64% of net sales) including Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite, and Schweppes — and sells directly to approximately 275,000 customers across its four territories, including mom-and-pop stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and wholesale distributors. Beyond soft drinks, Coca-Cola Andina has expanded into non-alcoholic beverages (juices, waters, energy drinks, sports drinks) and more recently into alcoholic beverages and confectionery, largely by leveraging its existing distribution infrastructure. Revenue is driven by volume and price per unit case. The company purchases concentrate from The Coca-Cola Company — the most significant raw material input — and bears the cost of sweeteners, water, and packaging to produce finished beverages. Marketing costs for Coca-Cola products are shared roughly 50/50 with The Coca-Cola Company. For non-Coca-Cola products like alcoholic beverages and Monster Energy, Coca-Cola Andina acts more as a distributor, buying from brand owners and reselling at agreed margins. Chile is the largest segment by revenue, Brazil by volume. Coca-Cola Andina also owns PET packaging subsidiaries in Chile and Argentina that primarily serve its own production needs.
