The Coca-Cola Fiji Amatil has opened a new Blowfill PET Line in their warehouse in Laucala Beach.
The new line is capable of producing 21,000 bottles in an hour and Coca-cola Amatil General Manager Roger Hare says that this will assist them during peak season like Diwali and Christmas.
Hare says that with the upgrade of their line, did bring about a redundancy of workers but they were expanded to other areas to mitigate them.
Hare stated that some workers choose to retire and were given compensation but the rest were implemented in other divisions of their headquarters.
With 3 years of planning and $6.5m of investments, Hare adds that the new line will benefit not only the workers as it brings less pressure to the but also the company in terms of production.
