The Coca-Cola Company
The Coca-Cola Company is an American historical multinational beverage corporation and manufacturer, retailer, and marketer of nonalcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups, which is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The company is best known for its flagship product Coca-Cola, invented in 1886 by pharmacist John Stith Pemberton in Columbus, Georgia. The Coca-Cola formula and brand was bought in 1889 by Asa Griggs Candler (December 30, 1851 – March 12, 1929), who incorporated The Coca-Cola Company in 1892. The company operates a franchised distribution system dating from 1889 where The Coca-Cola Company only produces syrup concentrate which is then sold to various bottlers throughout the world who hold an exclusive territory. The Coca-Cola Company owns its anchor bottler in North America, Coca-Cola Refreshments.
Its stock is listed on the NYSE and is part of DJIA; S&P 500 index; the Russell 1000 Index; and the Russell 1000 Growth Stock Index. As of 2015, its chairman and its CEO is Muhtar Kent.
==Acquisitions==
The company has a long history of acquisitions. Coca-Cola acquired Minute Maid in 1960, the Indian cola brand Thums Up in 1993,〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090226224517/http://www.coca-colaindia.com/brands/brands_thumsup.aspx )〕 and Barq's in 1995.〔(Barq's Root Beer: History ), Coca-Cola, retrieved January 2, 2013.〕 In 2001, it acquired the Odwalla brand of fruit juices, smoothies, and bars for $181 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coca Cola, Form SC TO-T, Filing Date Oct 30, 2001 )〕〔("Coke Buys Odwalla" ). (October 30, 2001).''CNN Money.''〕 In 2007, it acquired Fuze Beverage from founder Lance Collins and Castanea Partners for an estimated $250 million.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coca Cola, Form 10-K, Annual Report, Filing Date Feb 21, 2007 )〕〔("Coca-Cola Buys Fuze Beverage" ). (February 12, 2007) ''Boulder Daily Camera.''〕 The company's 2009 bid to buy a Chinese juice maker ended when China rejected its $2.4 billion bid for the Huiyuan Juice Group on the grounds that it would be a virtual monopoly.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coca Cola, Form 10-Q, Quarterly Report, Filing Date Apr 30, 2009 )〕 Nationalism was also thought to be a reason for aborting the deal. In 1982, Coca-Cola purchased Columbia Pictures for $692 million. It sold the movie studio to Sony for $3 billion in 1989.
