Soft drink bottlers are companies that produce and package carbonated beverages, commonly known as soft drinks. They take syrup, which is a concentrated flavoring, and mix it with carbonated water and sweeteners to create the final product. These bottlers are responsible for filling bottles and cans, labeling them, and ensuring they are ready for distribution to retailers. Many soft drink bottlers operate under agreements with major brands like Coca-Cola or PepsiCo. They play a crucial role in the supply chain, managing logistics and maintaining quality control to ensure that the beverages reach consumers in good condition.
