Coca-Cola Europacific Partners operates its largest plant in Southern Europe at La Rinconada. The facility features 12 production lines, including two dedicated to returnable packaging, which is a unique setup for the company in Europe.

Eugenio Molina, director of operations for the southern area, noted that the region is strategically important due to its climate, tourism, and local culture. The plant utilizes 100% renewable energy and has implemented water conservation measures saving up to 50,000 cubic meters through water recovery projects.

Beyond industrial operations, the company maintains local community ties through school visits, cultural sponsorships, and initiatives aimed at fostering entrepreneurship and talent development in rural environments.
