2. COMPANY PROFILE Coca-Cola Company:

John Syth Pemberton first introduced the refreshing taste of cocacola in Atlanta, Georgia. It was of 1886 when the pharmacist concocted caramel-colored syrup in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard. He first distributed the new product by carrying CocaCola in a jug down the street to Jacobs pharmacy. For five cents, consumers could enjoy glass of Coca-Cola at the soda fountain. Whether by design or accident, carbonated water was teamed with the new syrup, producing a drink that was proclaimed Delicious and Refreshing. Dr. Pembertons partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson suggested the name and penned Coca-Cola in the unique flowing script that is famous worldwide today. In 1886 sales of Coca-Cola averaged nine drinks per day. That first Dr. Pemberton sold 25 gallons of syrup, shipped in bright red wooden kegs. By 1891 Atlanta entrepreneur Asa G. Candler had acquired complete ownership of the Coca-Cola business. Within four years, his merchandising flair helped expand consumption for $ 25 million. Robert W. Woodruff became president of the Coca-Cola Company in 1923, and his more than six decades of leadership took the business to unrivaled heights of commercial success. In 1893, CocaCola was registered with the trademark office followed by Coke in 1945. In 1954 Frank Harold first brings Coca-Cola in India. Today Coca-Cola is best known and most admired trademark, recognized by more than 90% of the worlds population.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

It was very exciting to visit HCCBL, Pirangut Plant, and Pune. We have seen how the management functions are practiced. It was a great experience to go there and get a practical touch with the theory and concepts what we have studied in books. We can conclude that since Coca-Cola has a good image attached to it and hence it should maintain its image, because todays scenario people are very much conscious of their health and look for the value of their money. Hence with such a great brand name established for them is a real advantage for them and with this they can reach to new heights.
