The
Coca-Cola Andina company
put
its plant in the Mendoza town of Godoy Cruz
back into operation , an initiative that will generate
about 200 jobs
and required an
investment of US$30 million
.
The Ministry of Commerce approved the purchase of a new production line through the Import Regime of Goods Components of Large Investment Projects.
“With the new management, the times for completing the procedures were speeded up
,” the company highlighted.
This new line for filling beverages in returnable packaging, set up where until now there was only a warehouse, was the product of
the company's decision to expand its presence in Cuyo,
as explained by the company's Deputy Manager of Foreign Trade, Leandro Ariano.
The new line will be available during the second half of the year and will offer drinks in 2-liter and 2.50-liter returnable packaging and 1.25-liter glass.
Likewise, they had expressed pride “in this investment, which
reaffirms the commitment to consumers
, with a focus on returnable, our most sustainable packaging.”
Currently, Coca Cola Andina has half of its sales volume in returnable containers, and is the only company in the non-alcoholic beverage market with this type of presentation.
In addition to being a more economical option, this type of bottle contributes to caring for the environment by reusing and reducing the use of inputs.
The Import Regime for Goods Components of Large Investment Projects (known as Regime 256) establishes the payment of 0% in import duties for all new goods that are part of new complete and autonomous production lines, and its exception upon payment of the destination verification fee.
This is a promotional incentive
aimed at
encouraging investments
in order to increase the competitiveness of industrialized products through the incorporation of cutting-edge technology.
