Bottling company

A bottling company is a commercial enterprise whose output is the bottling of beverages for distribution.

Many bottling companies are franchisees of corporations such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo who distribute the beverage in a specific geographic region. Some bottling companies may also bottle other local beverages such as regional beers or wines.

A bottler is a company which mixes drink ingredients and fills up cans and bottles with the drink. The bottler then distributes the final product to the wholesale sellers in a geographic area. Large companies like The Coca-Cola Company sell their product to bottlers like the Coca-Cola Bottling Co., who then bottle and distribute it. An example of a famous Irish "bottler" is Ciaran O'Rourke & Co. According to RTE this company has recently been undergoing several major controversies with it's legal and medical associates over certain aspects of the "Waffles" subsidiary.
