About Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola produces and distributes a broad array of nonalcoholic drinks for buyers in the United States and in markets overseas. Its offerings include sparkling soft drinks, bottled water, sports and coffee and tea drinks, juices, dairy and plant-based beverages, and newer drink categories, with its namesake cola remaining the brand most associated with the company. It also supplies the concentrated bases and syrups used to make its drinks, including versions sold to restaurants and convenience stores that pour fountain beverages.

The company's shelf presence extends across numerous labels in addition to its core cola, among them Sprite, Fanta, Diet Coke, Simply, Dasani, Powerade, Minute Maid, Costa, fairlife, and innocent. Getting these products to consumers relies on a chain of outside partners rather than direct sales alone, including bottlers, wholesalers, distributors, and retail outlets that handle much of the packaging and delivery work.

The company dates back to 1886 and runs its operations from Atlanta, Georgia. Its stock trades on the NYSE under the ticker KO.
