Bottler Coca-Cola HBC shuts Ukraine plant

– Soft drinks bottler Coca-Cola HBC has closed its plant in Ukraine, and asked staff in the country to remain at home following Russia’s invasion of its former Soviet neighbour, a spokesperson told Reuters via email.

“We will keep this under review over the coming days,” the company spokesperson said.

The company, one of Coca-Cola’s many bottlers worldwide, also counts Russia among its largest markets.
