The company underlined that the new developments demonstrate its confidence in Namibia.The new bottling line will enable it to produce 27 000 bottles per hour and increase its Windhoek's plant output capacity by 30%.Speaking at the launch of the bottling line and water treatment plant, CCBA Namibia general manager Pottie De Bruyn said it would increase opportunities across its value chain.“We have ensured that this production line goes beyond output numbers. It is about creating shared opportunities across the value chain. This increased production also provides a boost to local businesses that supply us with raw materials and services,” De Bruyn said. Bright future CCBA CEO Sunil Gupta said the company believes in Namibia’s future as an investment destination.“This investment is a clear demonstration of our continued belief in the future of Namibia and a signal of our confidence in Namibia as an investment destination. Coca-Cola and CCBA have built a strong local business in Namibia for over 70 years. As we grow our business, we create shared opportunities for communities and employees,” Gupta said.“We are proud to work with small businesses throughout the country to serve the people of Namibia who choose to enjoy our products each day,” he added.Also speaking at the occasion, Deputy Prime Minister John Mutorwa said: “I am credibly informed that this cutting-edge facility represents a significant investment of about US$50 million. As such, it is not too far-fetched to conclude that such an investment underscores the company’s commitment to the socio-economic growth of our country, Namibia."Mutorwa hailed CCBA’s decision to also construct a water treatment plant, saying it shows the commitment of the company of caring for the environment.“The implementation of innovative technology, including the advanced water treatment plant highlights the company’s dedication to sustainability and environmental protection for both the current generation and more importantly, future generations,” Mutorwa said.
