Founded in 1979 as part of Fomento Económico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V. (FEMSA), the company has grown through strategic acquisitions and greenfield investments across Latin America. It operates extensive manufacturing facilities, packaging lines and distribution centers in key markets, including Mexico, several Central American countries, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. This footprint allows Coca-Cola FEMSA to serve both retail and out-of-home channels, ranging from modern trade to traditional outlets.
The company’s products reach consumers through an integrated logistics network that encompasses cold drink equipment, direct store delivery and third-party carriers. Its manufacturing operations emphasize operational efficiency and sustainability, with ongoing investments in water stewardship, energy management and packaging innovation. Coca-Cola FEMSA also leverages local consumer insights to adapt flavor and packaging formats to regional preferences.
As a publicly traded entity in Mexico and through its ADR program in the United States, Coca-Cola FEMSA benefits from the strategic oversight of FEMSA’s board, chaired by long-time chairman José Antonio Fernández Carbajal. Under this governance structure, the bottler maintains a focus on expanding market share, enhancing supply chain resilience and driving long-term, sustainable growth across its Latin American operations.
