Job Vacancy Announcement: East Africa Bottling Share Company (Ethiopia) – For Fresh Graduates

East Africa Bottling Share Company (Ethiopia) would like to invite qualified and competent applicants to apply for the following vacant posts.

About the Company

Coca-Cola was first bottled in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, in 1959 by the Ethiopian Bottling Share Company, which later opened a second branch in Dire Dawa in 1965. The two plants were nationalized in 1975 and ran as public companies until 1996 when they were bought by Ethiopian entrepreneurs through privatization. In 1995, Coca-Cola Sabco bought shares in the business and, in 1999, signed a joint venture agreement with Ethiopian owners. With its leadership working hand in hand with employees, the business has seen significant growth over the years.

On July 02, 2016, SABMiller plc, The Coca-Cola Company, and Gutsche Family Investments (controlling 80% of Coca-Cola South African Bottling Company (Sabco)) officially merged and created Africa’s largest Coca-Cola bottler – Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA). With the aim of increasing its footprint across the nation, a new plant was commissioned in 2016 at Bahir Dar, having a state-of-the-art production facility.

East Africa Bottling Share Company, as a Coca-Cola Franchise Bottler in Ethiopia under Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA), has three production plants in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa, and Bahir Dar with an aggressive expansion plan throughout the country, bringing the total number of employees to more than 1,800.
