Which company produces the Coca-Cola soft-drink brand and was founded in 1892?

The Coca-Cola Company produces the Coca-Cola soft-drink brand and was founded in 1892.

The company was incorporated in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1892, five years after pharmacist John Stith Pemberton created the original Coca-Cola beverage. The company’s most valuable asset is its global portfolio of drink brands, distributed through bottling partners and other channels.

The Coca-Cola Company is often confused with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners or with independent bottlers. The parent company owns brands and concentrates, while bottlers manufacture, package, distribute, and sell many finished drinks in particular territories.

Its market capitalization reflects the strength of its brands, worldwide distribution, and recurring consumer demand. PepsiCo is a major rival, but it is a separate corporation with a broader food-and-beverage portfolio.
