Sydney, Australia-headquartered Coca-Cola Amatil has acquired the non-alcoholic beverage bottling assets of PT San Miguel Indonesia Food and Beverages in Jakarta.
The move follows San Miguel’s decision to exit the production of non-alcoholic beverages in Jakarta.
Commissioned in 2006, the assets involved include a 20,000sqm purpose-built beverage production facility, which includes a high speed PET bottling line and a 5,000sqm warehouse.
In addition, the 100,000sqm land parcel acquired provides CCA with a valuable land bank for future expansion.
CCA’s group managing director Terry Davis said: “The acquisition of this large and modern facility is a very important acquisition for CCA as it fast tracks our expansion plans for the Jakarta region, providing a well located complement to our Cibitung (Indonesia) manufacturing operations.”
Davis added that CCA will install an additional carbonated soft drink PET line, increasing its Indonesian PET production capacity by 20% over the next 12 months.
“The facility has the potential to add a further three beverage production lines which could increase Indonesian PET capacity by a further 35-40%,” he said, “providing the business with an immediate low cost expansion option in the key densely populated West Java region of Indonesia.”
CCA expects to spend approximately A$45 million on the acquisition of the existing San Miguel facilities and on expenditure to further develop site capacity over the next 12 months.
CCA is currently also completing the acquisition of an existing 18,000sqm warehousing facility in Lae, Papua New Guinea for A$28 million.
One of the world’s top five bottlers of Coca-Cola, CCA has operations in five countries – Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea – employing more than 15,000 people.
