Coca-Cola Amatil is the principal Coca-Cola licensee in Australia and independently manufactures its own soft drinks and mineral waters.
Coca-Cola was introduced to Australia in 1937 and by early 1938 the first manufacturing plant began operating in Sydney. Business began slowly, but the arrival of American troops to Australia in 1942 had significant impact on both sales and market acceptance.
Licences were granted to various bottlers in the 1940's and 1950's. CCA entered the Australian beverage industry in 1964 and has since acquired all the Australian Coca-Cola bottling licensed territories in Australia.
