In a bold move to enhance its production capabilities and minimize environmental impact, Bottlers Nepal recently invested in a state-of-the-art filling line supplied by SIPA. This transformative technology represents a significant milestone for both Bottlers Nepal and the beverage industry in Nepal.

Mr. Ike Yu Hang, Supply Chain Director at Bottlers Nepal Limited shared, “At Coca-Cola Beverages Nepal, we always strive to keep ourselves updated with relevant trends and operations. The new line investment allows us to align with our long-term strategy and sustain the undisputed leader in the beverages market in Nepal. The plant we have in Balaju was first established in 1979 and we are proud to have it sustained it over more than 4 decades, to refresh the nation with Coca-Cola beverages along with the investments to maintain and upgrade our lines.”

The filling line is a marvel of engineering, designed to streamline the bottling process with unparalleled efficiency and precision. Equipped with advanced automation, the highly versatile filling line can handle various bottle sizes and formats, ensuring flexibility in production and meeting diverse consumer preferences.
