Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI), The Coca-Cola Company’ s official bottling partner in the Philippines, has a new company name.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the change in CCBPI’s legal name to “Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines, Inc.” (CCEAP).
“Our new name signifies an exciting new phase in our journey as we reaffirm our commitment to serving our customers, supporting our people and communities, and driving long-term growth for the country,” said CCEAP president and CEO Gareth McGeown.
“In the 113 years that Coca-Cola has called the Philippines home, we look forward to a hundred more years of refreshing our consumers and making a difference through our Great People, Great Beverages, Great Execution, and Great Partners — Done Sustainably,” he further said.
The decision to change the company name came after Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Plc (CCEP) and Aboitiz Equity Ventures, Inc. (AEV) acquired the beverage company.
CCEP and AEV completed the acquisition of CCBPI in February last year.IMT
