Coca-Cola Europacific Partners is investing €68m in Dunkirk, France, for a new production line for still drinks, expected to be operational by the end of 2026. The investment will also upgrade equipment at the site, increasing production capacity and offering a wider choice of beverages to consumers.

This new line will be the third at the Dunkirk location for still beverages, including Fuze Tea, Tropico juices, and Powerade. The site currently employs 470 people, with plans to increase to nearly 520 once the ninth line is completed. The plant handles glass bottles, PET bottles, and aluminum cans in various formats.

Earlier this year, CCEP France invested €146m at its Grigny facility, adding new equipment to produce 60,000 returnable glass bottles per hour. In Germany, the company also plans to invest around €150m, with a significant portion going towards a can-filling line in Halle to meet the demand for canned beverages.
