Central Bottling Company Group Portfolio

The Central Bottling Company Group (CBC), also known as Coca-Cola Israel, is a major international manufacturer and distributor of beverages and dairy products. Founded in 1968 after obtaining the franchise for Coca-Cola in Israel, the company has grown from a local bottler into a global powerhouse with operations spanning across Israel, Europe, and parts of Africa.

CBC's manufacturing footprint is diverse, with major production facilities for dairy (Tara), juices (Prigat), and carbonated drinks across the Middle East. Beyond its domestic operations, CBC owns the Carlsberg and Tuborg franchises in several regions and operates Müller dairy production sites. The group’s ownership structure is private, led by the Wertheim family, which maintains a centralized control strategy while expanding into new markets through strategic acquisitions and licensing agreements.

The group is highly recognized for its vertical integration, controlling everything from the sourcing of raw materials to the distribution logistics. Its ultimate ownership remains rooted in Israel, despite its international reach as one of the largest privately held companies in the beverage sector globally. Its portfolio includes world-renowned brands managed through complex licensing with multinational corporations like The Coca-Cola Company and Carlsberg Group.
