Operating since 2008, our state-of-the-art facility at Knockmore Hill Lisburn, Co. Antrim, serves the entire island of Ireland market.

Combining Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies with world-class sustainability initiatives, the facility continues to set new standards in innovation.  

The site is also home to a new high-speed recyled PET (rPET) production line and manufactures products using bottles made from 100% recycled plastic.

In total, we have four lines dedicated to producing rPET bottles, two canning lines and one glass line. We also produce two sizes of ‘postmix’ for fast food outlets and cinemas.

Processes

 

We have invested in a number of processes to minimise our impact on the environment and improve business efficiency.

Our production process starts with syrup, concentrate or beverage base. Once mixed with water, our finished products are packaged in a variety of recycled plastic (rPET), glass bottles and cans .

Customers and consumers expect our products to be consistently high quality, and we aim to meet and exceed their expectations.

Our commitment to sustainability is also embedded to the core of our business strategy and plays an integral role in our day-to-day activities at Knockmore Hill. 

These commitment is underpinned by the international standard ISO 9001 and ISO 22000 as well as by our own Quality and Food Safety policy and the global standards of The Coca‑Cola Company.

We monitor production processes closely and have sophisticated control equipment and testing programmes for key stages of the process. For example, we installed electronic bottle inspection equipment on all refillable bottling lines which can identify even the tiniest irregularity in a product.

Combined Heat and Power

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants are cleaner and more efficient than conventional power plants, and our CHP unit at Knockmore Hill has played a key part in our carbon-reduction strategy. 

This on-site CHP unit supplies all the heating, cooling and electricity needs of our plant.

In 2025, we became the first business on the island of Ireland, and the first within the Coca-Cola HBC Group, to transition to renewable biomethane as an alternative energy source.  

By the end of 2026, biomethane will power 100% of operations.
