History
The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England (CCNNE) was founded in Laconia, New Hampshire in 1977. Today it operates 16 distribution centers in all six New England states, as well as upstate New York. CCNNE also bottles for Cadbury-Schweppes, Rocstar Campbells and Cornucopia. It has been a subsidiary of Kirin since 1988.
The first bottling agreement between Coca-Cola and an independent bottler was in 1899 between the company and two young attorneys from Chattanooga. After being joined by a John T. Lupton, they divided their bottling rights among territories in the States. As a result, efficiency and bottle quality improved. By 1909, Coca-Cola had almost 400 bottling operations, however; most of them were family-owned bottling plants. In October 2019 CCNNE was renamed Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast.
