Coke's 90 years in Europe

2009 marks an important milestone for us -- 90 years since Coca-Cola was first bottled in Europe.

The first Coca-Cola bottling plants in Europe opened in 1919 in Paris and Bordeaux, France.

This photo is from France in 1930 and gives a nice view of one of our delivery trucks from the time!

And in case you’re keeping track, Coca-Cola bottling had already begun internationally before 1919. The first three countries outside the United States to bottle Coca-Cola were Canada, Cuba and Panama, all in 1906.
