Coca-Cola European Partners Case Study

Company

  • Coca-Cola European Partners 
  • Location: Les Pennes-Mirabeau, Marseille / FRANCE
  • Founded in 1970
  • 183 employees
  • Soft drink producer with five brands (Coca-Cola Goût Original, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Coca-Cola Light Taste, Sprite, Fanta) on three production lines (glass, PET, cans)
  • 50 million-unit cases produced per year
  • €65M invested between 2009 and 2017

The French subsidiary of Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) chose Markem-Imaje laser coders for marking aluminum cans at its Pennes-Mirabeau facility, near Marseille. 

The challenge

This large European beverage producer required the ability to code the 120,000 aluminum cans its Marseille factory produces every hour. Reliable equipment was a necessity to keep up with this pace. The factory had been using inkjet printers that were becoming obsolete, and the company was looking for a more precise and efficient solution that required less maintenance.

The solution

The Pennes-Mirabeau site replaced its four inkjet printers with two Markem-Imaje SmartLase F500 fiber laser coders which helped them to enhance traceability, achieve zero downtime, optimize costs and be more environmentally friendly.
