COCA-COLA SABCO TANZANIA :

In December 1952, a day before Christmas, the production of Coca-Cola started under the general management of a Greek man called Aris cassolis.  He called his plant Tanganyika Bottlers.  This plant was situated at Keko, just off Pugu (Nyerere) Road in Dar-es- Salaam.  After the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar in 1964, its name was changed to Tanzania Bottlers.  The first salesman was Mr. Cassolis, himself, with the assistance of one pick-up attendant; Mr. Mohammed Abdallah.

Mr. Cassolis died in 1978. As a result of his death, his Greek family came to Tanzania to inherit the business Due to the economic hardship that the country went through in the 1980’s the family was forced to sell the business in 1986.  The plant was sold to Mr. Yogesh Mangal Manek and Mr. Jalal Jamal.  Under this new management, the company was able to uplift the sales of Coca-Cola and to push Coke back into the competitive beverage market in Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Tanga Dodoma, and Mtwara. 

By September 1994, the Company was again facing bankruptcy and a severe drop in standard and market share.  SABCO, a South African Bottling Company, acquired the majority shares of the allying Tanzania Bottling Company.  This acquisition later included the bottling plants in Mbeya (Afri bottlers and the Iringa depot), Tanga (Sykes Bottlers), Mtwara (Mtwara Bottlers) and Zanzibar (Zanzibar Bottlers).  It also included the five depot areas that support these regional bottlers.  These depots were in Morogoro, Makambako, Korogwe, Dodoma and Iringa.  Today, the Songea, Dodoma, Mtwara and Makambako areas are being managed as manual distribution centers. Coca Cola SABCO TANZANIA closed the Mtwara and Tanga bottlers but has maintained the other three plants.

Of the three bottlers, Coca-Cola Kwanza Limited, in Dar-es-Salaam, is the largest.  Coca-Cola Kwanza officially moved into a new $ 35 million dollar modern facility in Mikocheni, on February 6th 1997.  Like the other bottlers, this modern plant focuses on high quality standards in all areas of operation.

As part of the SABCO family, Coca-Cola Kwanza Limited and its sister bottlers in Tanzania has joined a growing number of other bottling and canning SABCO plants on the continent.  This includes plants in Ethiopia, Namibia, Mozambique, Uganda, and Kenya.  In doing so, Coca-Cola SABCO, Tanzania has adopted SABCO’S dream to be the best Coca-Cola Bottler in the world, by producing quality soda and out selling other competitors with big profits.

Hi Landa,

The seeds of Coca-Cola Kwanza (CCK) were sown on a warm Christmas Eve in 1952, when the first Coca-Cola bottled in the east African country rolled off the production lines.

Then called Tanganyika Bottlers, it was owned by Greek businessman Aris Cassolis. The country gained independence in 1961 and changed its name to Tanzania in 1964, following the union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. Cassolis was quick to follow suit, proudly changed his company’s name to Tanzania Bottlers.

In the decades that followed, growth was somewhat sluggish and the company changed hands. In 1995, when Coca-Cola Sabco became the majority shareholder in Tanzania Bottlers Ltd, the company’s name again evolved to become Kwanza Bottlers, (meaning ‘first’ in Swahili), and later Coca-Cola Kwanza (CCK).

Hope this will help

Regards

Samson
