Plants and Processes

For over 30 years, Coca‑Cola HBC Hungary has been continuously expanding production at our plants in Dunaharaszti and Zalaszentgrót.

Dunaharaszti

We’ve been growing production at our Dunaharaszti plant since 1994.

Here, we manufacture carbonated and non-carbonated products packaged in PET (plastic), RGB (glass), CAN and BIB (bag in box) , on eight production lines.  In addition, we carry out pre-form production; most of our bottles are fully made on the spot. 

In 2022 we became the first among the Hungarian food industry players that equipped its operation with robots led by artificial intelligence. The technology, called robot picking support employees to increase the efficiency of picking methods and provide more accurate customer service.

In response to the growing demand from the domestic and international markets, at the end of 2023 we have inaugurated our newest, ultra-modern production line. The high-performance production line will produce single serve and multi-serve packs of carbonated Coca-Cola, Fanta, Sprite and Kinley beverages. The brand-new production line is capable of producing 36 000 bottles of 1,75 L soft drinks per hour.

The plant’s objective is to meet commercial demand by delivering the final products on time, in the right quantity and to high quality standards, in dynamically changing market circumstances.

A part of our production capacity serves export demands, and currently we deliver products made in Dunaharaszti currently to 15 countries. This makes the plant one of the biggest exporters in the Coca‑Cola HBC group. 

Zalaszentgrót

It took a long time for Coca‑Cola HBC Hungary to find an appropriate mineral water well of excellent quality. Experts tested the quality and the composition of water at 25 sites in total. Finally, Zalaszentgrót, Hungary’s hundredth biggest town, was selected as the company’s bottling site.

Zalaszentgrót has a  well-trained local work force, is attractively situated and benefits from the favourable qualities of water that comes from a depth of 680 metres and has been filtered over the course of 14,000 years.

Naturaqua, Coca‑Cola HBC Hungary’s natural mineral water brand, first appeared on shelves in April 2003, initially in carbonated versions and then still. Since then, the product range has been expanded to include lightly carbonated and, later, flavoured waters. Over the years, Naturaqua has become Hungary’s leading brand.

In addition to Naturaqua, the Smartwater brand is produced in Zalaszentgrót, which is unique in terms of its production technology: during the production process, natural mineral water is transformed into a vapour, similar to the water cycle, and then mineral salts are added after condensation. The Naturaqua Emotion range is also produced in Zalaszentgrót, which is the company's presence in the mineral water-based carbonated soft drinks segment.

Production is carried out on two PET lines and on one RGB line. 

Our objective is to serve our customers’ needs even more effectively and flexibly by maintaining and further strengthening our current benchmark position within the corporate group. We are able to achieve all this with our dedicated and highly qualified team.
