Coca-Cola Andina, one of Latin America's largest bottlers of the beverage, unveiled plans to invest over US$500 million in the next two years. Company president Gonzalo Said made the announcement at the ordinary shareholders' meeting. Priorities include expanding production capacity, reusable packaging, logistics, and digitalization.
Coca-Cola Andina disclosed its investment plans on Thursday at the ordinary shareholders' meeting. Company president Gonzalo Said specified that the amount exceeds US$500 million over the next two years.
The firm ended 2025 with profits of $268.697 million, up 15.5% from the previous year. Said stated: “Looking ahead, we continue investing to strengthen our capabilities and prepare the company for future growth. Over the next two years, we project investing approximately US$500 million, focusing on expanding production capacity, reinforcing reusable packaging, strengthening our logistics network, advancing company digitalization, and continuing to enhance our presence in the markets where we operate.”
In Brazil, the company opened a beer production plant in Duque de Caxias with an investment of nearly US$90 million, broadening its beverage portfolio.
Said addressed Chile's economic context, home to the company's headquarters. He noted reduced growth potential, sluggish investment recovery, rising labor costs, and a more complex regulatory environment. The structural fiscal deficit for 2025 stood near 3.6% of GDP.
“Recovering economic dynamism and attracting investment will be key,” Said asserted, stressing the importance of institutional stability and confidence for job creation and consumption. The company operates in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and all of Paraguay, serving about 58 million people, and is equally controlled by the Chadwick Claro, Garcés Silva, Said Handal, and Said Somavía families.
