The Coca-Cola Company and distributes coke, diet coke, and other soft drinks worldwide.
The Coca-Cola Company is an American multinational corporation, and manufacturer, retailer, and marketer of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups. The company is best known for its flagship product Coca-Cola, invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Atlanta, Georgia. The Coca-Cola formula and brand were fully bought with US$2,300 in 1889 by Asa Griggs Candler, who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in Atlanta in 1892.
The company – headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, but incorporated in Delaware – has operated a franchised distribution system since 1889: the Company largely produces syrup concentrate, which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold exclusive territories. The company owns its anchor bottler in North America, Coca-Cola Refreshments. The company’s stock is listed on the NYSE and is part of DJIA, the S&P 500 index, the Russell 1000 Index, and the Russell 1000 Growth Stock Index.
Coca-Cola is one of the few beverage and food companies worldwide still standing strong despite the ongoing global financial meltdown.
Select European countries, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Spain, and Germany, will get a chance to try the drink as soon as early 2024.
This is not Coca-Cola’s first foray into the world of NFTs. In July 2021, Coca-Cola auctioned its first-ever NFTs as a single asset.
