Coca-Cola Amatil New Zealand to build manufacturing facility at Auckland
Airport's Business Park
Coca-Cola Amatil New Zealand (CCANZ), the company that makes and sells
Coca-Cola drinks and other leading beverages in New Zealand, is establishing
a manufacturing operation at The Landing Business Park at Auckland Airport
The move will see Auckland Airport develop a purpose-built, high-tech,
12,000sqm warehouse to accommodate an addition to CCANZ's manufacturing
footprint.
Chris Litchfield, Managing Director of CCANZ, says the company is excited to
partner with Auckland Airport on the development of this new facility.
"Auckland Airport has the ability to deliver a product which meets our
specific requirements. We need to consolidate a number of operations into
one, meaning that we require a location that ticks all the boxes in terms of
connectivity, security and accessible amenities," says Mr Litchfield.
"We also value the investment that Auckland Airport has outlaid to develop
the area into a world-class business park.  CCANZ is committed to producing
the best quality beverages and this new facility at Auckland Airport will
enable us to continue to achieve this and complements our existing
manufacturing operations. "
Mark Thomson, Auckland Airport's general manager property, says, "The move by
CCANZ to Auckland Airport highlights the quality of our real estate products
and our ability to tailor solutions to unique customer requirements."
"We are focused on creating a business environment that caters to a wide
range of users.  Our extensive land-holdings allow Auckland Airport to tailor
bespoke solutions, not only for traditional logistics activities but also for
technology users and selected manufacturers, such as CCANZ," continues Mr
Thomson.
"What remains constant in all of our developments is our emphasis on creating
quality buildings within a comprehensively planned and world-class
environment, as well as providing outstanding amenity for our customers and
their staff."
"CCANZ is one of the largest bottlers of non-alcoholic ready-to-drink
beverages in the Asia-Pacific with a portfolio that consists of several
leading household brands.  We are thrilled that CCANZ has entrusted Auckland
Airport as its property partner," finishes Mr Thomson.
