The decision for CCE to list in Paris follows the Company’s sale of its North American business to The Coca-Cola Company and its acquisition of The Coca-Cola Company’s bottling operations in Norway and Sweden in the fourth quarter 2010.
As the preeminent Western European bottler of Coca-Cola products, CCE employs 13,500 employees across Belgium, continental France, Great Britain, Luxembourg, Monaco, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.
“Coca-Cola Enterprises is committed to our operations in Western Europe, and this secondary listing will provide European investors the opportunity to more easily benefit from our long-term growth plans,” said John F Brock, chairman and CEO. “Our solid track record of success is built on our commitment to deliver world-class brands and superior customer service to capture the growth opportunities in Europe.”
