CCE Plant Codes

Isn't that Philly Coke area though?

Oh, and Abarta has four Coke franchises under its' control.

Cleveland
Buffalo
Coatesville (PA)
Lehigh Valley (PA)

I've never been in the Cleveland or Buffalo territories, but I have been in the other two. Lehigh Valley (BH=Bethlehem, PA) produces cans and bottles. Coatesville is a warehouse/sales center that gets product from Lehigh Valley.

Abarta is a pretty diverse company, but I could see them selling the Coke bottling off to the highest bidder.

No, Hamburg is just north of Reading, which is old Herbco. You'd have to go east to hit Philly territory, around the Quakertown area. Then north of that is Allentown, which is Abarta.

If you head south from Hamburg, you'll eventually get to the other Abarta territory, which is Coatesville, and they only control one county -- Chester County.

It all makes more sense if you look at the map in mapquest.

CCE is in Reading & Lancaster. Abarta is in Bethlehem & Coatesville. Philly is in Philadelphia, North Wales, and Aston.

Are you sure? I saw on a website that Lancaster County and Chester County were under Abarta, actually it was Abarta's site.

I always thought Hamburg was up above Philly, not Reading. Guess I was wrong.

So was Lancaster Herbco then?

[fusion]

No, Lancaster is CCE. CCE has an office in downtown Lancaster. I don't know when it came into CCE hands, but I know it wasn't old Herbco territory. It was formerly part of the CCE Capitol Division, but when CCE bought Herb and created the Eastern Great Lakes division, Lancaster, Sunbury, and Harrisburg (Lemoyne) all went to the Eastern Great Lakes Division.

Ah, starting to make sense now.

Hires in Buffalo is either Cro-pac or Clintons Ditch Co-op.

It's all in how you look at it.

Ok, I'm starting to sort out my recent road trip finds, so here's a list of codes:

CP=College Park, Georgia
CN=Cincinnati, Ohio
SN=Sanford, NC (indie)
MK=Middlesboro, Kentucky
CD=Cleveland, Ohio (Abarta)

Ones I am unsure of:

WK - I see a not of non-soda stuff from here.. KMX and so on.
LR - bought some Dasani with this code.
ET - spotted on Schweppes 1 liters
WP - ?
PA - ?
RC - seen on Fanta 2 liters, Canada Dry 20oz.

I was also suprised to see Ale-8-1 and Mello Yello Melon coming from plant HO.

LR is Little Rock.
WM West Memphis
PA Eagen MN
WP Milwaukee (Wisconsin Production,old Herbco)
RC Rochester NY (They do not have a can line)

One code I *haven't* figured out yet is LW.

That is appearantly a texas code and it runs Red Flash in Fridge Pack.
