This means that there are currently around 225 bottling partners worldwide. The supply chain begins with the procurement of raw materials, which in the case of Coca-Cola also includes agricultural products (e.g. sugar cane or fruit) and water. The most important ingredients such as water and sugar are sourced locally, with the partners being able to choose only the type of sugar used. In Europe, mainly beet sugar is used, in Asia cane sugar and in America sugar from corn syrup. One of the first steps in Coca-Cola’s supply chain is the production of the concentrate, which is mixed with water, sugar and carbon dioxide by the bottling plants.

- LVTLS was set up as a local cargo company in 1960 by Mason Delp in pick-up and delivery for numerous intergovernmental trucking businesses in Pennsylvania's Greater Lehigh Valley. The difference between Alentown and Philadelphia has been shown to Mason by enhancing the Interstate Highway System, by upgrading the Pennsylvania Turnpike system, which provides the corridors North-South and East-West together with other improvements and roads. Furthermore, Philadelphia has a certain population, with e-road extensions and renovations which allow transit connectivity to numerous municipalities.
