The company also posted more than 10% higher sales volumes in the first half.

“The growth in the [sales] volumes of Coca-Cola HBC in Romania was even higher in the second quarter, with all products contributing to it. This is the sixth quarter of growth in a row for the company,” said the officials of the bottler, which owns three plants in Ploiesti, Timisoara and Vatra Dornei and has about 1,500 employees.

Coca-Cola HBC Romania’s revenue might be close to RON2.5 billion this year, according to ZF estimates.

The bottler posted RON2.1 billion revenue at the end of last year, up 16% on 2014, so 2015 was its best in its 25-year history in Romania.
